“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.”
“If you're looking for someone to take care of your pets look no further. Ashley went Above and Beyond with our two 4-legged friends. Out puppy really enj I yed her company and sleepovers. Thanks SO much!!! 5+++++ Service!!!!”
“Lori is great. We are in Cocoa Beach part time and have not needed a dog sitter very much in the past. This time, we used Lori 4 times including a multi day sleepover, a one day sleepover, and two days of walking. We live on the 5th floor of a condo unit and it's a bit of a pain to take the dogs down the stairs to the dog walk area. Lori was very prompt, sent lots of pictures, communicated well and really seemed to like our pups, and them her. We will definitely use her again when we have a need.”
“Heather was a great sitter for our home and dog. She took the time to meet us ahead of time, learn about our pup’s quirks, and was respectful of our home while we were away. She was communicative and sent us the perfect amount of updates to give us peace of mind. We will definitely keep her in mind for future bookings. Thanks again, Heather!”
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!
“Brook was great with Sophie - playing with her and taking her for walks. She also brought my packages in, took my bins out on trash day and left my home neat. Brook stayed in touch with photos - much appreciated since this was the first time she fur-babysat in my home. I’d highly recommend Brook and I plan to schedule her services again.”
“Patsy is simply the best pet sitter. She loves on my puppy and gives her excellent care, she communicates and sends photos while I’m away, and she leaves the house cleaner than it was when she arrived. Thanks, Patsy!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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 😄
“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.
“Amazing dog sitter for my senior dogs! She was patient, caring, and truly understood their needs. Both of my dogs absolutely love her. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands. I would happily use her again for in-home dog sitting.”
“Priya provided excellent care for my cat while I was out of town. Her attention to detail, thorough care, great communication, and flexibility made such a difference while being away. Prior to booking, she took the time to fully understand my cat’s needs, typical behaviors, and preferences. She provided consistent updates on my cat’s behaviors and feeding schedule and followed everything to plan, with photos. Arriving home, my cat showed no signs of anxiety and everything in my home was taken care of. I highly recommend her and look forward to utilizing her again, knowing my cat’s care is in great hands!”
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.
“this young lady watched our two dachshunds overnight in our home. one of our dachshunds is handicapped with some paraplegic issues which affect her ability to control her bladder. We keep her in a doggie diaper when inside. she also needs to be lifted up and down so no jumping, stairs, etc. Lyris did an excellent job. she arrived on time, displayed a true caring attitude towards both our pets and us. We returned home to a clean house and two happy dogs. Will definitely call on her again...and again.”
About: I have been surround by dogs my whole life both big and small, rowdy and timid, and anything in between. I have a Chihuahua rat terrier and a Berniedoodle at the moment and love them both dearly. I have also dog sat and walked dogs for my neighbors for the past five years. I currently work a job 2 days a week, so I have a very flexible schedule to be able to be with your pets! I work Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings but I am able to come both before and after my shift to walk or feed your babies. To help with the safety of your pet I will always follow the instructions given to me to ensure your baby does not feel any discomfort.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cocoa Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cocoa Beach on Rover is $58.23 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 675 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cocoa Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cocoa Beach. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
