“Jennifer took such good care of our little fur baby. We greatly appreciate her promptness, her photos and check ins, and the gentle care she gave our dog. Highly recommend!!”
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!
“Caitlyn saved our 4th of July trip and made sure Nova didn't feel alone while we were gone. Walks daily, always updated if she ate or went potty. It made me feel so much better for my 1st time hiring a dog sitter.”
“Nicole has been the best care taker for our cat. She has went above and beyond for Pousecil over the last week and have been very flexible. We highly recommend Nicole for your next Rover service.”
“Bree was amazing with Lexi. She was loving and attentive. Always on time for her check ins. And did a great job getting Lexi to eat her food leftover from the morning. I would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“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!!”
“Diana is an incredibly kind a warm spirit who took fabulous care of our two dogs. A consummate professional and very respectful. I do not hesitate to recommend her for your needs as well and will undoubtedly look to her again for ours. Thank you again Diana!”
“I have rebooked with Nathalie a few times now and every walk has always been well done, documented, and dedicated to keeping the babies well attended to. She always communicates with detailed reports and has made this process on Rover super comfortable. Thank you so much for always going above and beyond for us! Archie, Tiny, Pumpkin and I appreciate you!”
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
“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.”
“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!”
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 caring for dogs and cats my entire life. Big and small, I love them all! I will treat your babies like my own. ❤️ I’m available for drop-ins, feeding, play time, potty breaks, and walking. I can take care of dogs and/or cats of all sizes. You can rest assured that your beloved pet will be in loving hands. My main objective is to care for your dog as you would. I can help keep your dog on their regular schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and walking.
About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers, therefore I am an animal lover by nature! I have always had a dog and a cat and can't imagine a life without either one. Animals are my passion and I am a firm believer that they are family, not just pets. Your baby will be loved, cared for, and even spoiled (if allowed). Having used Rover myself, I know how difficult it is to trust someone else with your beloved pet. I can promise you that if you book a stay with me, you and your pup or kitty will feel very comfortable. I have several years of experience babysitting in other's homes so I feel very comfortable watching your baby in your home if that makes you feel more comfortable. All around, I am a pretty flexible, kind, outgoing person and will make sure you and your baby are happy. I am great with instructions so if you are a detailed planner or have your pet on a strict schedule, I can follow them. If you are more flexible, I will make sure to stop by at least 2 times a day to walk/feed/and play with your pet! I work full time from home so I have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, play time, feeding, etc. I am also available for 24/7 cuddles. I don’t currently have any pets of my own. I live in a 3 bedroom condo with my boyfriend. The condo complex is gated and very safe! I do have carpet and stairs (incase either of those are an issue). There are plenty of dog walking areas and grass as well as dog waste pick up stations. There are also plenty of parks nearby!

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.
Bethany is absolutely wonderful! We’ve used her many times and always feel completely comfortable having her care for our pets. This time we added two kittens to the mix, and she was amazing about adding them into the routine. She was patient with them as they warmed up and made sure everyone was happy and cared for. She is dependable, caring, and truly treats our pets like her own. We always feel so much better knowing Bethany is taking care of everyone while we’re away!
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 $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 October 2026, there are 1,975 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 .
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.
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
- 96% 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 .
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.
