“Caitlyn went above and beyond with our pets. We were able to rest assured that they were in good hands. She was also willing to help us last minute and we couldn't have asked for more.”
“Mariah was an excellent communicator and my dog loves her. She ended up needing to modify our reservation, but still ensured my pup was still well cared for throughout the stay.”
“Jaxon was very professional and even came by for a second visit prior to our trip for a refresher since we booked a couple months in advance. She gave great updates and left our house the way she found it. We felt at ease our entire trip. Will definitely use her again. Thanks Jaxon!”
“I cannot recommend Jonathan enough. We have never had a stranger stay in our home and watch our fur babies so we were a liitle apprehensive at the thought. After our initial meet and greet with Jonathan and seeing how both Nitro and our finicky Bella responded to him, all fears were erased. They both took to him immediately. He has such a calming way about him. Jonathan sent videos or pictures regularly of them. Nitro has food allergies that we keep track of and we had no worries that Jonathan would handle them with ease. We will definitely be contacting him again.”
“Hailey took wonderful care of my pets and home while I was out of town. My two pups were happy and Hailey took great care to make sure their days were as close to normal as possible. We will definitely have her sit for us again in the future!”
“Patsy was on time and very attentive to our babies. It was extremely important to us that Kona and Wally were not left alone overnight or for long stretches of time. Patsy made sure this did not happen.”
“Aubrey is a great and reliable sitter! She communicates with us frequently and sends lots of updates and photos of our pets. Having her house sit and care for our pets gives us such peace of mind!”

I love every single animals just the same! :) I recently just moved, so i’m at home 24/7 and can provide your fur baby with the top care there is. Never have to worry! Many potty breaks/playtime. Lots of daily walks. Morning, afternoon, or evening feedings. Bonding times. Whatever is in the fur babies needs while in the care of me.
About: I have owned a dog for 13 years. I have experience pet sitting that included loving and playing with them. I haven't met a cat or dog that didn't like me. I am looking to be more active so I am walking/playing with dogs to achieve that I only work 3 days a week so I have lots of time and flexibility to walk/ take care of your pet on your schedule! I live in a home, with a large yard for playing, and can take walks around my neighborhood. There are no children in the household and it is a very quiet and calm environment. I let my pets on the couch too for snuggles so they will be very cozy
About: I am a retired CVT with over 25 years of experience in small animals, emergency medicine, and teaching future veterinary technician students. I retired 5 years ago and began traveling. Both myself and my husband have been pet sitting full time all over the country. We are home in Florida for an extended amount of time and wanted to expand our services locally. I am comfortable giving medications. It is important to us to maintain a consistent stress-free experience for both the pet owner as well as your family member. I am retired so my schedule is open. I do provide pet sitting via another site so I tend to book up quickly from there. I prefer when pet sitting in clients homes that they provide me with their expectations. For cats I do prefer inside cats only because I don’t want to be responsible if your indoor/outdoor cat doesn’t come home.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I currently work as a Kennel Assistant at an animal clinic, where I care for dogs and cats every day. This professional experience has strengthened my skills in handling pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities while paying close attention to their comfort, safety, and daily routines. I also have a degree in Biology from Moscow State University and hands-on experience training service dogs. At home, I have two dogs of my own—a French Bulldog and a Chihuahua—and over the years I’ve cared for many other breeds as well. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own pets. My goal is for every dog or cat to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. I always make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and each pet’s personality and comfort level. I want every pet to feel as relaxed and cared for as possible. Working in a veterinary clinic has also taught me to recognize changes in a pet’s behavior or condition and respond calmly and appropriately if something seems unusual.
“Anastasia never fails us. She is super with our dogs and loves to watch them. Our pups and house are left in tip top shape when we arrive home. There are little extras she does that blows us away. She is our go-to for pet care these days.”
“Megan is very reliable, trustworthy, friendly and truly loves dogs! My boyfriend and I went on a trip and had to scramble for a sitter last minute, Megan went above and beyond and sent us lots of pictures. Highly recommend her! ❤️”
About: I am a local college student who loves cats and dogs, and have been taking care of mine and my family’s for the past couple years. Although I am in college I am taking most of my classes online so I have lots of availability in between classes both days and nights. I aim to respect you, your dog, and of course your home. I understand the wariness of letting someone take care of your pet as I have my own. Therefore I will respect any wishes you ask me of when I take care of your pet.
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was 16 years old. I started at Pet Paradise and worked every position there. I moved on to a vet clinic where I was a supervisor. I wait tables now, but care for animals deeply. I have experience with most breeds and can handle aggressive animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, ferrets, Guinea pigs, bearded dragons and more! I work part time so I am pretty flexible. I will always communicate if there is a scheduling error as I like to keep everyone happy and in the loop. I have years of animal experience and the love and passion to work with animals. I’m very trusting with your fur baby, as I have pets of my own.

Priya did an exceptional job watching our little Molly. Her communication was perfect with photos of Molly several times each day. She left our house just as she found it and was so pleasant to engage with. We highly recommend Priya to care for your precious pets! We will definitely be using her again!!!
Laura was great! Very diligent and concientious. She was on time. My dogs loved her and my home was left spotless. She even started the laundry and dishwasher. I would recommend Laura. She is very kind, compassionate and clearly loves and has experience with both dogs and cats.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cocoa is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $94 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cocoa walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cocoa maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cocoa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
