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: I've had pets my entire life and have always loved and respected all types of animals. I grew up with dogs and a few hamsters, but 14 years ago I adopted a kitten off of Craigslist and it was the best decision ever. I've volunteered at a few shelters and sanctuaries for cats over the years so I'm not afraid of getting dirty. My last roommate had 3 cats and my current roommate has a pitbull. My cat Moochi tolerates their presence lol. I also love most rodents. I've watched my friend's ferret a few times over the years and he's so fun. I currently work part-time as a house and commercial cleaner and one of my favorite parts of the job is meeting people's pets and spending time with them in between cleaning. That's actually what gave me the idea to try out Rover! I travel all over Brevard and have a lot of free time to fill. I am happy to come to the clients home to visit their pets. I have been alone in many clients homes before for cleaning and have never had issues or complaints.

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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and am looking to extend my role. I have worked as a pet sitter before and have experienced doing different types of medications that might be needed. Looking for some work in between my day job. Right now I have full availability, once my schedule picks up I will become more limited. I’ve dealt with all kinds of animals and look forward to meeting new furry friends. I have leashes and treats for all types of dogs. While I cannot offer care for pets in my home, I can exceed the level of care needed in my clients 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!

About: What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup needs lots of playtime, a relaxing walk, extra cuddles, or simply some company, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m also big on communication. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and being well cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. 🐾💕 I’m a SAHM so i’ll be home all day with your fur baby. I’m able to provide walks three times a day and I also have a fenced in yard where your fur baby will be able to play. Fenced in yard and a Florida room for the versatile feeling of being both outside and inside. My property also has cameras on the inside and outside of the house.

About: Please note: Earliest morning drop off starts at 7:30am and pick up time must be 5:30 pm at the latest. About me: At the age of five, I bought a dog encyclopedia and memorized every dog breed in the book. Since then, I’ve loved dogs the way a mother would love her child; I would have 101 Dalmatians if I could. Not only do I enjoy giving love to dogs but I enjoy the love they give to me. I have two dogs, a 3yo male Border Collie and a 3yo female Husky mix. They love all dogs, but can easily be separated from your dog if that is your preference. I work remotely as a librarian/federal contractor, so I am stuck at home all day. We take supervised potty/play breaks ever ~2 hours. Walks depending on the wether. I have a very large backyard with a pecan tree so there are many squirrels for the dogs to bark at and chase. Let me be the one to give your dog love while you are away! Schedule: It is a part of my daily life. The first thing I do when I wake is let the dogs out and feed them. And letting them out for their final potty break is the last thing I do before going to sleep. Safety, trust, & environment: Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my house. While I have a spare room that is dedicated to the dogs I care for (filled with dog toys and beds), they are also entitled to free reign in my home if they are able to safely handle that.

About: I love animals. In my free time I volunteer for charity events benefiting children and animals. I am a photographer and I donate photography to local rescues to photograph their babies for adoption! I am a lifetime founder/member of the Brevard Zoo (my family helped build it). I worked in pet retail environments for 8+ years with local shop owners and worked in a vet clinic for 1 year. *I also offer photography services for animals while I care for them* I have had everything from a fish to a Great Dane. My childhood home was filled with animals of every kind, some even in the zoo! I am responsible and capable. I respect the owners wishes for their pet, whether that is a strict training visit or a rough and tumble cuddling session. M-Th (not including holidays) I work 6 hour days (it is possible for me to do midday breaks if arranged ahead or to work from home). Fri-Sunday I am not working! At my home I have a fenced yard and a lovely neighborhood with LOTS of sidewalks and a small park. I love going on trips with pups if the parent's okay it! Puppy parks, walks in parks, adventures into town you name it! I'm always respectful of the owner's rules - if they want "strict parenting" I've got you! If they want cuddles and treats I've got you!

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cocoa

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.
