“Bethany was absolutely amazing with my dog, Cleo! She was very communicative the entire time and sent tons of photos, which eased so much of my anxiety while I was visiting friends and spending the whole weekend at Disney. She did everything I asked her to do and went above and beyond. Since I wasn’t from the area and couldn’t do a proper meet and greet, she even offered to FaceTime beforehand which I appreciated so much. Her thoughtfulness and reliability made the entire experience stress-free! I’m SO thankful for her and would highly, highly recommend booking Bethany!”

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!
About: Hi! I'm Melissa. I'm a lifelong animal lover and caretaker with years of experience rescuing, training, fostering, and caring for dogs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I've cared for just about every size and personality, from 5 lb teacup terriers to 115 lb German Shepherds and everything in between. Whether your pup is high energy and always ready for play or enrichment, reactive, or more of the cool, calm, and collected type, I have experience with them all! Your fur baby will be treated like one of my own. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so for every new client, we'll do a full debrief to get to know your pup and make sure I can provide the best possible care. High-energy pups can look forward to plenty of playtime and enrichment, while our more laid-back friends can enjoy a cozy space to relax, recharge, and catch up on their beauty sleep. I believe in personalized care, not a one size fits all approach! Your pup's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I'm big on supervision, communication, and making sure pet parents feel just as comfortable as their four legged family members. You'll receive regular photo/video updates, so you can see how your pup is doing and never miss a moment of the cuteness! Whether you need a helping hand while you're at work, away on vacation, or just need a well-deserved break, I'm here to make life a little easier and ensure your best friend is in good hands. Message me to chat about your pup and book their walk or drop in! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I'm happy to work around your schedule, whether your pup needs a morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or a little extra company while you're away. I enjoy building pet care into my daily routine and making sure every pup gets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule and keep your pet's routine as familiar and stress-free as possible! For walks and drop-in visits, my priority is making sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar environment. Every visit is tailored to your dog's personality, energy level, and routine. For walks, we'll enjoy neighborhood adventures, plenty of sniff breaks, exercise, and fresh air at a pace that's right for your pup. For drop-in visits, I can help with potty breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, enrichment games, and some extra love and companionship while you're away. Before our first visit, we'll go over your dog's routine, preferences, commands, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent, personalized care. I'll always respect your home, follow your directions, prioritize your dog's safety, and send regular photo/video updates so you know how your best friend is doing. Whether your pup needs to burn off some energy or just wants a little company, I've got them covered!

“Carla was exceptional with my 2 cats for drop in visits. She is very thorough and communicative. One of my cats takes oral medication and she was able to successfully administer it every day! The cats looked very happy and content in every photo update she provided.”


About: Looking for someone to love on your pups while you’re away? I’d love to help! As a fellow dog owner with three dogs of my own, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your four-legged family members. Whether you need drop-in visits or pet sitting while you’re out of town, I’ll make sure your pups get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I know they’re family, and I’ll treat them like my own! 🐶❤️
“Hailey was such an amazing pet sitter! Arrived on time with a smile on her face and eager to go! Rocky liked her right from tge get go - and the second day she came he was so happy to see her he was “crying”! So sweet! Thanks Hailey for letting us explore Cocoa Beach! You rock!!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our kitties, while we were away! Katelynn followed our instructions to a T and even brought in the mail for us without having been asked. Thank you! Communication was excellent. I received detailed updates, with pictures, daily. I will definitely be reserving Katelynn again!”

“My Yorkie is a rescue and he has stress/anxiety and separation issues. I had him only a few months when I began having Sarilyne coming to my house while I was working. Sarilyne was able to establish trust and security to my dog immediately. She is a very sweet, kind and patient and punctual person who I trust to come into my home to care for dog.”

About: Grew up with many dogs in a loving home. I miss having dogs around but am not in a place to get my own just yet so I am hoping to offer my love and care to my neighbor’s pets! Work from home all days besides Thursday. Thursday work hours 8am-3pm. Can be flexible. Available for boarding all days. Sizable back yard for easy potty breaks. Available for dog walking and check ins in the evening Mon-Thurs and all day Fri-Sun. Prior to care, I will ask the owner for a typical schedule of walking, eating, and anything else I may need to know so the dog feels comfortable and not too much change to their typical schedule occurs. I provide lots of love and attention and play during my care. I have a dog park in my neighborhood and have areas for long walks! I am a very punctual person and respect your time as well as mine to ensure the best experience.
“Jonathan was awesome, the pups were always excited to see him. He was timely each day and had great communication before, during, and after our trip. I highly recommend”

About: I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as family and friends pets. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine care for every pet I look after. I treat each animal like my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, and specific needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training like potty routines and leash manners, as well as providing gentle, patient care for older pets who may need a slower pace or extra attention. I’m also very observant when it comes to behavior and health, and I always keep owners updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule, so caring for your pet fits easily into my day. I’m able to plan my time around feedings, walks, and visits, making sure pets stay on their normal routine and feel comfortable. Because of this flexibility, I can give each pet plenty of attention and not rush through my time with them. I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by giving them attention, patience, and companionship. I also keep the home clean and tidy—refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, and maintaining litter boxes or outdoor areas. I always provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Carissa always does a great job with my 2 cats. They are comfortable around her, even the first time she came over, they came out to meet her. She cleans up after them, puts down all their different food and treats, and spends time petting and playing with them. I feel they are well taken care of by her. This is the third or fourth time I've booked Carissa and she is reliable. Thank you so much!”

“Aspyn continued to do a perfect job watching and walking my dachshund. She always keeps things interesting for the pup by mixing up games and activities. Highly recommend Aspyn, she has watched Hildy multiple times over the past year.”

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: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love! I’ve grown up around animals and have experience owning and caring for cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, and many other animals. I’ve also fostered pets and have hands-on farm experience, so I’m comfortable with animals of all different sizes, personalities, and needs! I absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and spoiled while they’re in my care. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, get lots of cuddles, or just relax by my side, I’m happy to give them all the attention they deserve. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in loving and caring hands. I would be so excited to meet your fur babies and give them the same love and attention I give my own! 🐾❤️ I currently work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and frequent face-to-face time throughout the day! I’m able to give them lots of opportunities to go outside, stretch their legs, and play, rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, medications, walks, and any other care they’re used to at home. I also love taking dogs on evening walks and giving them plenty of playtime and cuddles throughout the day. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away, so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority! I have a fully fenced-in yard where your pet can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime, along with a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. I also have a super friendly miniature poodle who loves making new friends and can keep your pet company if they enjoy having a furry friend around! Of course, I’m happy to keep pets separated if that’s what they’re most comfortable with. I also have a crate available and can crate your dog when needed or if that’s part of their normal routine at home. I’ll always follow your instructions and do whatever helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cocoa
Erica was wonderful with our cat; he loved her and he is normally very skittish. Erica explained the Rover process as we had never used a service before. I would definitely recommend Erica to anyone who wants their animal cared for in a loving, thoughtful way.

Amazing as everrrrr!! I’m fully convinced our cats are now excited when they see the suitcases rolled out, because it means Ichly is coming to play! Thorough, thoughtful, and always goes above n’ beyond with enrichment and detailed updates. 4 paws up. 10/10 recommend 🐾🐾

Angelina was a life saver! After another Rover cancelled on me at the last minute Angelina stepped in (over a holiday no less) she took excellent care of my sweet dog and allowed me to enjoy my trip with comfort and assurance that my dog was ok - we would love to use her again in the future

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cocoa is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,982 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cocoa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cocoa. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
