“Lori was attentive and loving to my 3 fur babies. I got pictures and updates through out. They actually seemed like they didn't miss us when we got back (because they were enjoying their time with Lori so much). Thanks so much!”
“I would, with out a doubt, recommend Katy as your next pet sitter/house sitter. She is very sweet, prompt, detail oriented and most importantly takes excellent care of your kiddos (animals). Thank you very much Katy... until next time!”

“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.”
About: As a former dog groomer of 4 years, I have experience with many dog breeds, including giant breeds, senior pets, and special needs dogs! I moved to Florida last year and miss working with so many dogs. I’m very active, and happy to adventure with your pets outside, or lounge around with them for a bit if that’s more their style :) I work part time as a barista in town, with a flexible schedule. I can easily work around odd hours and events to prioritize your pets schedule I prioritize safety and fun when sitting for anyone, including family! I have several dog grooming certifications, one of which included an aggressive dog training course & insight to behavior cues. I’ll always be aware of our surroundings and keeping an eye on your pet!
“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.”
About: My mother is a verterinarian so I grew up around her veterinary clinic assisting her with tasks. This has helped me really understand our pets and their needs. They will be taken care of and in good hands! Please note: I’m currently accepting bookings within the Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach area only. Feel free to message me with your location before booking if you’re unsure whether you’re within my service area! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my schedule. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, making sure they receive timely walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep them on their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep fresh water available, make sure they’re fed on schedule, provide exercise and playtime appropriate for their energy level, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep your home clean, respect your space, and send regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Catalina was amazing! She went above and beyond just checking in on our dog. She came multiple times a day and spent hours with our dog. We have a 100lb Doberman with alot of energy and she kept him very entertained! Very personable and kept us updated on our dog! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Brook was absolutely amazing with our pup and home! As a first time user it was great to have such a communicative person to ease our anxiety. Got so many pictures and videos to know our baby was well taken care of. Will definitely be using again!”
“Lilly did a great job taking care of our dog, cat and home. She communicated with us and sent us pictures of our pets daily. She works remotely so she was able to keep our pets on their regular schedule. I highly recommend Lilly to care for your pets and home.”

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.
About: Thank you for considering me to take care of your pet/ house sitting needs. As a long time caregiver and homemaker, my compassion for quality care comes naturally. I have been a dog lover and owner all my life. With decades of experience with a variety of breeds from Miniature Poodles to Great Danes. Potty trained well behaved dogs preferred. I know how challenging it can be to trust someone to help with caring for your property and pets, I will do my best to provide top notch services. I have two female spayed dogs. One miniature Dachshund, and a rescued Husky mix. They are friendly and get along with most well behaved dogs. My current schedule is open most days, unless I am traveling. I have flexible availability to meet your needs. Most bookings are confirmed immediately or within 24 hours I have a fully fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. There is plenty of space for outdoor playtime and completely dog friendly indoors. Space is available for crating
About: I had my chihuahua for 17 yrs & he was more than a pet to me. I will care for yours the same. Thank you I am a hairstylist who makes my own schedule so I am available & flexible with my time and hours if given proper notice. Thank you! I Can crate your pets if needed. I live across from the beach if they like walks. I will always use a leash and send pictures for you so you don’t miss them to much 😄

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cocoa Beach
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Finley was so well cared for, and it truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was consistent, thoughtful, and reassuring — we loved receiving updates and photos. Our home was also treated with so much respect. Everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. It’s such a relief to come home to a happy pup and a well-kept house. You can genuinely tell how much care and attention was given. We are so grateful and would absolutely book with Kristen again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach 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.
