“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We were very happy and satisfied with Christina. She took great care of our senior dog. He needed meditate a day and she had no issues with that. He is also in diaper. He is not an easy little old man to take care of. Christina sent lots of pictures and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving him. She took great care of our house too. We would definitely recommend Christina and will be calling her again.”
About: I have had my dog for 2 years now and have an additional year of experience caring for a home of 6 children and a dog. I also volunteered at a shelter as a kid and took a course on basic dog training and communication skills! I'm currently a part time student and am unemployed. Aside from evening dance practice and class, I am usually home to take care of the house and do schoolwork. When I leave, my dog stays out of his cage, so I have room for another if needed, and/or a separate room reserved for the dogs. I have a fenced in backyard, a pool, and a very sweet, social dog who gets along with just about anyone! I feed my dog a human grade diet and am willing to accommodate the same or similar needs for another.
“We have some energetic dogs, and this was our first time with Jonathan. He did a wonderful job keeping them happy while we were out of town. He made our trip preparation worry free, kept us updated with photos of the pups, and most of all kept them safe and happy. Highly recommend!! :)”
About: I’m a caring, responsible animal lover who understands how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks, and companionship. My background in healthcare has made me extremely attentive to detail, dependable, and comfortable following specific routines and instructions. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications with clear instructions, and any special preferences that help your pet feel at home. I also know how much peace of mind matters to pet parents, so communication is important to me. You can expect updates, photos, and lots of love for your furry family member while they’re in my care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have flexibility throughout the week to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’m also able to accommodate pets who need a little extra time, companionship, or a more consistent routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. We also have a friendly 25-pound miniature Goldendoodle in our home. I always take each pet’s personality and comfort level into consideration when introducing animals. Our home also has a separate living area upstairs, which allows us to comfortably keep pets separated if needed for safety, feeding, rest, or simply because they prefer their own space. I’m careful to follow each owner’s routines and instructions so pets feel as comfortable and secure as possible while in my care.
“Colleen was an absolute pleasure! She was flexible with my scheduling and treated our dog like family! She understood his special needs and went above and beyond in making sure he was well cared for! Will most definitely rely on Colleen again when we are traveling.”

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.
About: Hi! I’m Shannon, a dedicated animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for pets and making them feel like part of the family. I offer a loving, comfortable, and welcoming environment where your furry companion will receive plenty of individual attention, affection, and care. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of time at home, so your pet will have lots of companionship throughout the day. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always strive to make their time with me as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I am a homemaker and I am home full-time. I will be able to give your pet love and attention all day. I walk everyday in the safe community of Suntree where I live. Your pet would feel safe here and we would take walks together. 😃 I have a big yard and live in a safe neighborhood in Suntree. I have no children. My home is quiet, welcoming and smoke-free. I will make sure your pet is comfortable here. Sometimes I play jazz music on the TV for my pets. 😆🩷 I just want to create a peaceful and loving environment for our furbabies.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience with cats I currently work at a hair salon 4 days a week with a very flexible schedule. Also I am able to take breaks if needed. I will only be available to come to stay at your house and pet sit. I love to go on walks and spend lots of time outside
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.
“Finley did an amazing job of caring for my pets! She gave me periodic updates and pictures of my two dogs while I was out of town. Finley definitely won my two dogs over by playing with them and giving them ample attention.”
About: I’ve taken care of my Jack Russel Terrier for 12 years, and ensured he has has the best quality of life! I have taken care of other friends pets in the past, while they have traveled for adventures. Pet care fits into my daily schedule because I am free everyday during the week except for one day out of the week. I am doin an online course so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard where the animals could run around to burn off some energy when not going for a walk, and a old bedroom that is now a new dog room

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Cocoa is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night.

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 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.

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.
