“Kadence was terrific with our babies. We were out of the country but she sent updates, photos and a video. She stayed at our house and took great care of our pups. She’s been very reliable and my dogs love her. We will definitely use her for our next trip!”
“Priya provided excellent care for my cat while I was out of town. Her attention to detail, thorough care, great communication, and flexibility made such a difference while being away. Prior to booking, she took the time to fully understand my cat’s needs, typical behaviors, and preferences. She provided consistent updates on my cat’s behaviors and feeding schedule and followed everything to plan, with photos. Arriving home, my cat showed no signs of anxiety and everything in my home was taken care of. I highly recommend her and look forward to utilizing her again, knowing my cat’s care is in great hands!”
“Megan was great and our animals loved her. We enjoyed receiving the picture updates while out of town. She’s very thoughtful and considerate. Definitely recommend for pet/house sitting!”
“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.”
“Wow- Wendy is so kind and thorough that we were blown away. She kept us totally updated on our dogs, loved on them so much, and left the house absolutely perfect. By far the best sitter we have found through Rover. Cannot thank her enough!”
“Diana was wonderful watching Barney for a house sit when I was out of town for a few days. She provided very frequent updates with pictures and my home was in the same condition if not nearer than when I left..”
“Lori is great. We are in Cocoa Beach part time and have not needed a dog sitter very much in the past. This time, we used Lori 4 times including a multi day sleepover, a one day sleepover, and two days of walking. We live on the 5th floor of a condo unit and it's a bit of a pain to take the dogs down the stairs to the dog walk area. Lori was very prompt, sent lots of pictures, communicated well and really seemed to like our pups, and them her. We will definitely use her again when we have a need.”
“We had a fantastic experience with our Iyris! She took such great care of our two dogs and kept us updated the whole time with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. It’s obvious she truly cares about animals and go the extra mile to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. We would absolutely trust Iyris again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“This is our first time using Heather and she was great! She was really good with Otis, attentive to all his needs and took great care of our home over the three days we were out of town. Absolutely no worries! I will definitely book with Heather again.”
“This was our first time using Rover (or even a dog sitter that we didn’t know) and Caroline did not disappoint! Her communication throughout our 8 day trip was amazing - the almost daily pictures were so appreciated and she was quick to reply to our messages. Highly recommend!”
“Another stress free vacation, because we knew Oreo was in the best hands with Maria! She was amazing communicating with us and sharing photo & video updates. Oreo is spoiled rotten when she’s there.💕 I think he makes her his personal masseuse 🤣, but she also plays his toys with him and did enriching activities to keep our boy’s mind engaged. We totally trust Maria and highly recommend her!”
“Julian did an excellent job taking care of my cat Simon. He followed all my instructions exactly like I wanted. He fed Simon at the appropriate schedule, cleaned his litter box, and made sure his water bowl was clean and filled. He also took the time to play with him and pet him so he wouldn’t feel lonely. I would hire Julian to take care of my cat again in a heartbeat.”
“My wife and I cannot begin to emphasize how satisfied we are with how Kristina handled our pups. She stayed in our home for a week while we went on a cruise vacation. We are new to the area and naturally we were very nervous to find a new sitter. Kristina absolutely is the best when it comes to Rover. We do not say this lightly as we have used Rover for years across the country. She took our requests and directions very seriously and ensured that our dogs came first during our time away. From swift glances at the Ring camera and the many pictures she sent we could tell that our dogs were comfortable and loved! We will 100% be reaching out to Kristina for future jobs.”
“Colleen did an excellent job taking care of our 3 Beagle fur babies! Each pup has a unique personality and she gave them each the attention they needed. They all ate while we were gone which was shocking, usually they don’t. She shared lots of pics and kept us informed on their care! Highly recommend her!”
“Kya took care of our pup in our home for 5 days while we went on vacation and she was awesome! She is so kind, responsive, and most importantly she took great care of our girl! Kya also took good care of our home! Will recommend her to everyone we know, and will definitely be requesting her for future care!”
“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.”
“Lucy was amazing! She was super responsive to all our messages and very attentive to our dog, Blue. She walked him several times each day, spending lots of time at our house to make sure he received all the love and playing that he needed while we were traveling.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cocoa is $50

Susanna was amazing with my (sometimes shy) pup! She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog can be a little nervous meeting new people, but Susanna was so patient—she got down on her level and let her warm up at her own pace. Before long, my girl was wagging and cuddling like they’d known each other forever. Came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a tidy house! Will absolutely book Susanna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.
This was our first time having Logan stay with our pups and cat and will not be the last. She was amazing and brought me great peace of mind knowing our fur babies were being well cared for while we were away. Thank you Logan and we look forward to having you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cocoa on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,121 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cocoa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cocoa. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
