“We booked our pup to stay for the day before boarding her for an upcoming trip and she had a great time! She went in without a problem and it was such a relief to leave her with someone like Vikki. Her reputation speaks for itself. She is very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sends pictures to update you that your dog is having fun. We will be back and recommending her to anyone in need of a top tier dog care.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from cats to dogs to fish and turtles since I was young. I love animals and can’t wait to ease your travel or emergency worries while you are away. I work from home and will follow your schedule to the best of my ability, so your pet will be looked after during the day! I work from home so I am available all day everyday typically. It’s so fun to learn each pets quirks and personalities. Pet care helps me get out and get my steps in. House (Day) Sitting: Since I have a fur baby and family of my own, I generally provide early morning-late evening services following your schedule. Of course, if your pet needs special attention, this can be accommodated for overnight care. Please disclose all indoor cameras. Boarding: For their safety and little piece of home, please bring your baby’s kennel/cage/carrier and something that smells like you along with food and water bowls.
“My wife and I were visiting the Space Coast and Cocoa Beach area. We needed care for our 2 pups so we could experience Kennedy Space Center and found Mia. She had 2 pups (golden doodles as well) of her own, a nice big fenced backyard and worked remotely, so she was home and attentive during their stay. Our boys were exhausted when we got home from their play adventure day! Mia was flexible with our schedule, provided a safe environment for our boys and is a very nice pet care providers/ person. Thank you Mia!”
About: I provide personalized, attentive care and treat every pet like a member of my own family. With years 12 of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I have experience caring for playful puppies who need extra supervision, frequent potty breaks, and consistency, as well as senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace, patience, and extra comfort. I’m also comfortable administering oral and injectable medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and on schedule. What sets me apart is the level of communication and care I provide. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, quick responses, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for in a safe, loving home. Pet care is a big part of our daily routine! My husband, Isaiah, works Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I bartend in the evenings from 4:00 PM until around 1:00 AM. Because of our opposite schedules, your dog receives plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home during the mornings and afternoons for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks before leaving for work, and Isaiah is home in the late afternoons and evenings to continue their care before I return home at night. We work together to make sure every dog stays on their normal routine with regular potty breaks, meals, exercise, and lots of love and attention. Our goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. My home is kept clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards to provide a safe environment. If I have multiple boarding dogs, I carefully consider each dog’s temperament and only accept pets that I know can safely coexist. If needed, dogs can be separated during meals, rest time, or whenever it’s in their best interest. I also provide regular photo and video updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and having fun while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable, confident, and stress-free throughout the stay.

About: I may be new to Rover, but caring for dogs has always been part of my life. I treat every dog with patience, love, and full attention. I’m home full-time from 6am to 6pm, so your dog will always have supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My home has a large, secure yard where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely. Full-time supervision (no long periods alone). Fenced house. Regular updates with photos/videos. Playtime, rest, and a calm environment. My goal is simple: make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home while you’re away.

About: Hi! We’re a husband-and-wife team who have been caring for pets for most of our lives. Between the two of us, we’ve had hands-on experience with dogs in every stage of life—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra care. We truly enjoy hosting pets and making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their families are away. We pay close attention to routines, personalities, and comfort levels so each pet gets the care that fits them, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard with artificial turf, which means plenty of space for running, playing, and fresh air—without the mud and mess. Whether your pet loves active playtime or prefers lounging and quiet companionship, we’re happy to match their energy. We treat every pet like part of the family and understand how important trust and peace of mind are when you’re away. We’d love to care for your pet as if they were our own. Our schedules give us a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. One of us works days and the other works nights, which means there is often someone home or available to check in throughout the day. This allows us to accommodate a variety of needs, including frequent potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and medications. We’re happy to work with your pet’s routine and adjust as needed to help them feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. We promise to follow your safety preferences, using a leash when needed, securing doors and taking extra precaution at all times. Your pets safety will always be a top priority for us
“Daniel S. did a great job boarding my two dogs for a couple of days while I was at work. He was very accommodating with my odd working hours, kept me updated with photos throughout their stay, and was attentive to all of my dogs’ needs. He truly went above and beyond my expectations, and it gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to others.”
About: I’ve cared for all animals big and small for as long as I can remember. Growing up my mom worked for the SPCA of Brevard and we had over 13 cats, an iguana, a tarantula and a pit mix. I specialized in animal body language courses during my time volunteering at the SPCA. l fostered and trained blind, deaf and non-dog friendly pups, learned how to administer medication on dogs and cats, walked intake doggos and helped during feedings. My first job out of high school was dog grooming so I have plenty of experience in washing, drying and checking for any injuries and for ticks and flees. I love every pet as if they were my own and can’t wait to meet yours! I work bartending nights during the week 5pm-2am and I am off during Monday, Tuesdays and Friday’s, I am always able to bring fur babies to work if needed! I have a fenced in back yard, a 3 yr old husky to keep your pup entertained as well as a dog friendly work environment! Our home has crates and plenty of space for separate feedings and time apart if you pup gets easily anxious! We allow our dog on our couches/beds so we are always open for extra cuddles!
“Dezarae was wonderful with our fur baby!! She accommodated us with a last minute request to watch him while we went to Kennedy Space center for the day. Thank you Dezarae we enjoyed meeting you and Pepper!❤️🐾”
“My 7 month old puppy had a great time playing with another Shih tzu at Fiorella’s house. She sent pics during the day so I could feel more at ease. He was well taken care of and we will return in the near future!”
About: I have had dogs since I was a child and have watched my friends and neighbors pets for years. I offer a smoke free home with a fenced yard and will treat your pet like my own. My Goldendoodle Molley can't wait to meet your furry friend. FYI: I do not take pets under 30 lbs. If you need to board your dog or need someone to watch your dog while you work, please consider my home. I have a Golden Doodle who loves to romp. I’m sure they will have a great time together and I am looking forward to taking care of your furry friend. Your dog will be treated like family. He/she will have the run of my house and my fenced in back yard. We also take daily walks to promote leash training.
About: Having grown up surrounded by animals, caring for pets has been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I've had the joy of raising three dogs and a cat, along with other pets, giving me extensive experience in providing care to my fury friends. I understand the importance of following specific instructions to ensure your pet receives the best possible attention. Rest assured, your furry friend will never be alone for more than four hours and will enjoy plenty of walks, tailored to their needs. My home is a safe and welcoming environment where your pet can roam freely, without any interference from other pets or people. With a deep love for animals, I’m committed to giving your pet the same affection and care that I would give my own. As a recent UCF graduate currently preparing for my postgraduate program, I’m home most of the day studying—allowing me to offer pet boarding services seven days a week. This flexible schedule also allows me to give your furry friend the undivided attention and love they deserve. Rest assured, your pet will receive the highest level of care and affection during their stay with me! I live in a secure, gated apartment complex with a beautiful pond and a grassy area perfect for pet walks and playtime. With no other pets in my home, your pet will enjoy a peaceful, undisturbed stay, free to roam the apartment as they please. I’ll ensure your pet is fed and cared for exactly as instructed, with plenty of walks and outdoor time in a safe and serene environment.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Cocoa commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 792 sitters in Cocoa, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
