“Dash just loves Carl and Linda. He always gets excited when we turn onto their street. They are always our #1 choice when finding a place for Dash to stay. Thank you Carl and Linda.”
“We were happy to find Jolene as it was nice to know that our dog would have some cat and dog company whilst we were away. As an older boy traditional dog boarding wears him out. He just wants to nap in peace with a like minded companion. Upon meeting Jolene I felt confident that Sampson would be comfortable and well looked after. We enjoyed the photo updates provided during our absence. I believe Sammy dog enjoyed his time. Thank you. Jolene. It was lovely to meet you.”
“So appreciative that they were able to watch Lucy last minute and over a holiday weekend. They sent pictures each day so we could see her and how she was getting along in their home. We will rebook for sure!”
“We are so appreciative of Cassandra. She took wonderful care of our Bailey-girl. Bailey was welcomed and fit right. Cassandra has a big heart for animals and manages her home and visiting pets with precision. She is organized and the dogs are always safe. The daily pictures and activities was a wonderful add. We will definitely use her again.”
“Lori was fantastic!! She sent us lots of pictures of our pups while we were gone and we knew they were being taken care of :) and they made a new friend with her dog Honey as well!”
“Carissa took great care of our fur baby. She sent updates frequently. She was extremely accommodating even though I got confused with the schedule. Our puppy was well cared for. I will definitely book again.”
“Gerardo was AMAZING! I went out of town for a wedding and he sent me pics and updates multiple times a day. I also had a delayed flight coming back home and he was extremely flexible. He also very professional and easy going. Thank you Gerardo for taking care of my baby. I’m sure he had a great time ?”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“Lori is professional, courteous and extremely responsive. I received pictures daily of activities and on goings with my dog. I have never boarded my 15 year old senior maltipoo before and Lori's care put me at ease while I was away. I love the service she offers of picking up and dropping off which allowed my to deal with the chaos I had to prior to helping a family member move to another state! I highly recommend her and already have her booked again real soon!”
“Was wonderful with our puppy and even helped us out last minute. Overall a great experience and sent us lots of pictures. Will definitely use again when in the Orlando area!”
“She’s absolutely the best! Don’t get me wrong — all the dog sitters I’ve had through Rover have been amazing, but she’s definitely my favorite. I’ll absolutely be rebooking with her!.”
“Our dogs usually travel with us and since they were unable to cruise with us, this was our first time boarding them. Susan took the most excellent care of Wally and June. She and her daughter were extra loving and sent daily updates with photos which made our vacation as relaxing as possible. Even though this was our first time boarding, Susan made us feel comfortable because she was/is so loving, genuinely kind and attentive to our furbabies. Our older dog, Wally can be emotional and stubborn at times with eating. Susan went above and beyond to ensure Wally ate, and she also sent updates on Wally’s eating patterns. We highly recommend Susan and will certainly book again. Thanks again, Susan for taking such great care of Wally and June. We appreciate you!”
About: I’ve always had a great love for animals! Growing up with three dogs and three cats taught me how to care for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve also helped bring displaced dogs from Puerto Rico to the mainland United States to find loving homes. Along with cats and dogs, I’m familiar with caring for other animals, including guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes and enjoy providing walks, playtime, baths, and plenty of love and attention. I also have six years of experience as a nationally registered pharmacy technician, which taught me the importance of following medication instructions carefully and watching for potential side effects. Please share any medication or injection needs beforehand so we can discuss whether I can provide the appropriate care. I’m available Monday through Friday after 4:30 p.m., with early morning walks also possible, and all day and overnight on weekends. My husband and I coordinate our work schedules so your pet can receive more frequent attention and companionship. For boarding, pets are typically alone for no more than 4–6 hours at a time. We’ll confirm our schedules before booking to ensure we can meet your pet’s needs. I’m easy to reach and happy to follow your pet’s routine and specific care instructions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work full time, but I make time before and after work for attentive care, playtime, and companionship. I’m flexible with pet sitting in your home and happy to discuss a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. For boarding, my husband and I coordinate our schedules so pets are typically alone for no more than 4–6 hours at a time. I’ll confirm availability and time away before each booking to make sure we’re a good fit for your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your care instructions and make sure doors are securely locked after arriving and leaving. During walks, I’ll keep your pet leashed and maintain a safe distance from unfamiliar animals. I’ll also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Ive worked with several dogs before, in a groomery and I know how to deal with multiple kinds of dogs ! I can work with any time , very flexible schedule Im currently without a job other than something thats only once per week, so I can work pretty much all day if needed, around 10am to start I will walk them every two hours and make sure they have plenty of attention and affection from me. They will never be left alone unless your dog wants it
About: I've always had dogs since I can recall. I currently have a senior dog who is a diva so I understand spending some extra energy on the older animals. I also had cats in the past and have helped care for them in other's homes. My schedule is flexible. I am an early riser, so late nights probably won't work. Most days will work and I will respond quickly if I am unable to assist you. I am discreet and focused on safety when visiting other's homes. I ensure instructions are followed so the pets are taken care of as expected.
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!

Carl & Linda always take such excellent care of our Athena. This time Athena needed more attention due to medical issues that popped up. We almost canceled our plans, but once we got Athena stable, we knew she would be in great hands. Carl and Linda are extra caring and loving. We will never hesitate to book with them and even have more scheduled
Marley (11 years old) stayed with Mandy for a long weekend, and I couldn't be happier with how it went! Mandy is so knowledgeable about dogs' social behavior, and her setup is ideal. The fenced yard is huuuge, with plenty of trees and grass, and so much space that each dog can choose whether to play with the group or have some room of their own. There were multiple dogs during her stay, and Marley, who prefers a quick greeting and then to explore solo, had plenty of space to do just that. The property is so clean and well-kept, it looked like a paradise for Marley! Marley hadn't been in a group setting with other dogs in years, so I was hesitant at first. Would Marley like it? Mandy started with a calm, no-pressure meet-and-greet that included a 4-hour trial stay, with updates during the trial so I could see how Marley was doing. By the end of the trial, I felt so comfortable and confident in Mandy that I was genuinely excited for Marley to have this new booking experience! When we came back for the actual booking, Marley walked right in on her own - she was excited too! She didn't even look back! During the stay, Marley had gradual introductions to the other dogs, one-on-one time with Mandy, and quiet time to rest. It felt like a structured day at summer camp. In the past, Marley's stays with sitters were mostly spent relaxing on the couch with walks around the neighborhood, which is very much an extension of her home life! So it was wonderful to see her get a more active, social experience while still having downtime when she needed it. Mandy sent daily videos, which were so helpful. I got to watch Marley interact naturally, explore the yard at her own pace, and really take in a brand new experience. When she came home, she slept the entire day, which tells me she had a full and happy stay. If your dog is a senior, on the independent side, or hasn't been around other dogs in a while, I can't recommend Mandy enough. We will definitely be back!
Maria was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies, Bailee and Brynlee! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Maria went above and beyond to make sure our girls were happy, comfortable, and spoiled. She kept us updated throughout their stay and sent us the sweetest pictures, which meant so much to us while we were away. She took them on walks, brushed their teeth, brushed them, gave them lots of love and attention, and even let them sleep with her! She also gave them homemade peanut butter and pumpkin treats that her dad made, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! It was obvious that Bailee and Brynlee were getting so much love and attention while they were staying with her. Maria didn't just watch our dogs—she truly cared for them like they were her own. ❤️ We are so grateful we found her and would absolutely trust her with our girls again. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for someone who will love, spoil, and take wonderful care of their fur babies! 🐶🐶💕
Priya is an amazing sitter and took excellent care of my Pug! She is kind and professional, and made sure Matias was comfortable right from the start. The communication was great and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend bringing any pet to Priya and I look forward to seeing her again! Thanks!!
Angelina was so incredible with my babies! They can be needy but she was so patient with them. She sent updates and pictures daily, they got lots of walks and adventures! She even gave them baths before they left. She was very easy to work with schedule wise as well which made drop off/pickup effortless!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Cocoa West can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cocoa West home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cocoa West.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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.
You and your Cocoa West sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
