“Priya was wonderful with Coconut. She sent pictures of him every time she was at the house and kept us updated every day about all his eating and other activities. She went above and beyond to make sure our first time using a house sitter was a great experience. Her love for animals shows as she cared for our 17-year-old puppy. Meals and meds where on schedule and Coconut even cuddled with her in the evening. Thank you, Priya for care and support while we were away.”

“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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I was a zookeeper for 8 wonderful years so I am comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, big or small. Cats are my specialty. I currently have open availability for all my services. I can do mornings, afternoons and evenings. I can be pretty flexible with my schedule as well. I treat all animals as if they are my own. With my years of experience in animal care, I do great at reading dog and cat behavior and can respond appropriately in situations.
“My boys took to her immediately and one can be very attached to me so that made it so much easier to leave him! Very attentive to them and kept me updated frequently. Highly recommend her'.”
“Patsy took care of my 3 dogs like her own. She quickly earned their trust while we were away. Even our 16 year old ate while we were away which is unusual for Emma. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”
“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.”
“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..”
About: Hi! I’m Meagan! I’m 27 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. I’m a huge animal lover and have grown up loving and caring for animals. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and definitely the type of person who treats pets like part of the family. I have four pets of my own, two dogs and two cats, so taking care of animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My pets are all very friendly, well-behaved, and get along great with each other. I understand that every animal has a different personality, though, and some pets need a little more space or time to feel comfortable. If your dog doesn’t tolerate cats, that’s completely okay! My cats can stay in a separate area in the back part of my house that can be closed off from the dogs. The same goes for pets that may just need their own space. I want every animal staying with me to feel safe and comfortable. Since I’m a pet owner myself, I also understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your pets with someone else. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course lots of attention and cuddles! I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. Outside of caring for my animals, I’m creative and love interior design, being active, and spending time at home with my pets. I’m currently in my final semester of college, so pet sitting is something that fits naturally into my schedule and gives me the opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet is energetic and wants to play, loves going for walks, or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re having their own little home away from home while you have peace of mind knowing they’re being loved and cared for. 🐾🤍 I’m currently finishing my last semester of college, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m able to plan my days around pet care and can accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I also have pets of my own, so caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I have two friendly, well-behaved dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. My pets are used to being around one another and are very friendly. If your pet isn’t comfortable around cats, my cats can stay in a separate, closed-off area of the house. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, boundaries, and any special care needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years now. I’ve done a wide variety of jobs. I have worked on a long term schedule, stayed overnight, and handled last minute care situations. Every single time I have met both the fur baby and owner with care, compassion, and trust. I have always loved caring for pets and love to tune in with each of their personalities! From hyperactive pups to our elderly babies who just want to watch tv together. It’s amazing to bring out the personality in each one and give them the opportunity to be in charge! If they want to walk, we walk, if they want to play, we play, if they want to chill all day, we chill! I can ensure that while you’re out, your pet will be taken care of and loved so you can remain stress free. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to work with you and your pet. I love getting out of the house and would love to spend the day with your fur buddy! I currently have one large dog and one cat in my home. I plan to only work within the clients home. I believe it’s best to keep pets in their safe space so they can remain stress free while you remain stress free as well. I’m accustomed to house sitting, house care, and staying overnight if needed. I can assure you that I will abide by the campsite rule and always leave things better than how I found them!
“Amy was great with our senior dog and took great care of the house while we were away for a long weekend. We came home to a happy pup and the house was spotless. Her communication throughout the trip was great - we will absolutely be using Amy again.”
“Charley was Great! Otis felt comfortable around her immediately. She watched Otis for 6hrs. Sent pics and text updates. All was fine for a first time watch. Will definitely use Charley for our next sitting!”
“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!”
“Adrian took great care of both of my dogs. One of them recently had double acl surgery and needs a bit of extra attention and he did great. He provided me updates on how they were doing and I would 100% recommend him to anyone.”
About: I have loved animals since my first day on Earth, and pets have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around animals has taught me how important patience, attention, and compassion are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I am currently fully focused on school and taking online classes which gives me great flexibility with my free time. I can always adjust to your preferred schedule. Attentiveness is key with pets in the home. Whether an owner prefers to have their pet roam free or be crated, I am comfortable with both. The goal is to make the pet feel as comfortable as possible.
“Amber was amazing! My dog was comfortable with her from the beginning, and I felt confident leaving her in Amber’s care. I got plenty of updates with photos. I’m looking forward to having her work with Ivy again.”

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
