“Kadence was terrific with our babies. We were out of the country but she sent updates, photos and a video. She stayed at our house and took great care of our pups. She’s been very reliable and my dogs love her. We will definitely use her for our next trip!”
“Jonathan exceeded all expectations and was so nice and professional. He was awesome with Pebbles. I appreciated that he came to meet us and especially Pebbles the evening before sitting. It gave us both time to get to know each other and ask any questions we might have which made the evening of pet sitting seamless. I couldn't give enough stars or recommendations for Jonathan. He was amazing with my Pebbles ❣️”
“Excellent sitter! Got her for a last minute house sitting and she followed instructions exactly and both my dog and cat were very happy with her all weekend. Very friendly and responsive!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals on and off since I was 12, starting by helping neighbors and others with pet care as a side gig. I continued doing this while working through school and during the early years of my teaching career to supplement my income. I’m now a proud dad of two kiddos and two cats, looking for ways to earn some extra income to help support my family while my wife stays home. 🧑🧑🧒🧒 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide care before my workday, as well as during breakfast, lunch, and dinner times. With nearly two decades of experience caring for animals, along with having two cats of my own, I understand how important it is to provide loving, attentive, and reliable care. My background as a teacher has also helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and dependable care while their owners are away.
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!
“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: I’m a caring, responsible animal lover who understands how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks, and companionship. My background in healthcare has made me extremely attentive to detail, dependable, and comfortable following specific routines and instructions. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications with clear instructions, and any special preferences that help your pet feel at home. I also know how much peace of mind matters to pet parents, so communication is important to me. You can expect updates, photos, and lots of love for your furry family member while they’re in my care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have flexibility throughout the week to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’m also able to accommodate pets who need a little extra time, companionship, or a more consistent routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. We also have a friendly 25-pound miniature Goldendoodle in our home. I always take each pet’s personality and comfort level into consideration when introducing animals. Our home also has a separate living area upstairs, which allows us to comfortably keep pets separated if needed for safety, feeding, rest, or simply because they prefer their own space. I’m careful to follow each owner’s routines and instructions so pets feel as comfortable and secure as possible while in my care.
“Anastasia never fails us. She is super with our dogs and loves to watch them. Our pups and house are left in tip top shape when we arrive home. There are little extras she does that blows us away. She is our go-to for pet care these days.”
“Lauren was AMAZING! This was one of the first times we went out of town and didn’t feel anxious about our dogs being taken care of. Her communication is great. We received lots of pictures and updates. She spoiled our pups. Super thankful we found her!”
“Cathleen was great. She watched Otis for 6.5 hours in our home while we went to an event. Felt comfortable with having Cathleen in our home and very comfortable with her watching Otis. We will book Cathleen for our next event!”
About: Love all animals and caring for them like my own. Piece of mind for your fur baby while you’re away :) I like to send pictures daily and keep you posted on how your animal is doing Working flexible hours right now. Can be available when needed during the week and/or on weekends. Home is pet friendly. I have no pets or children at this time I have a fenced yard. No other animals right now. Pet friendly/non smoking home. Enjoy walking big/small dogs. Happy to come to your home as well to walk/play with/feed animals of all kinds
“Jessica was awesome with my babies. From playing ball with them, to walking and cuddling them she was really what they needed that day. Great with communication updates and pics. Highly recommend.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I currently work as a Kennel Assistant at an animal clinic, where I care for dogs and cats every day. This professional experience has strengthened my skills in handling pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities while paying close attention to their comfort, safety, and daily routines. I also have a degree in Biology from Moscow State University and hands-on experience training service dogs. At home, I have two dogs of my own—a French Bulldog and a Chihuahua—and over the years I’ve cared for many other breeds as well. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own pets. My goal is for every dog or cat to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. I always make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and each pet’s personality and comfort level. I want every pet to feel as relaxed and cared for as possible. Working in a veterinary clinic has also taught me to recognize changes in a pet’s behavior or condition and respond calmly and appropriately if something seems unusual.
“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 grown up with dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience with cats I currently work at a hair salon 4 days a week with a very flexible schedule. Also I am able to take breaks if needed. I will only be available to come to stay at your house and pet sit. I love to go on walks and spend lots of time outside

Kadence was absolutely amazing. We were able to book her last minute for house sitting and watching our 4 pups.. she definitely went above and beyond making sure they were taken care of, even when we had to abruptly extend our trip. She also helped bring in some important packages for me. If you need anyone to trust your home and your pets to, Kadence is it!!
Shannon is fabulous as always. Bentley had a poopi accident and she took the time to clean. When she housesits she cleans and takes out the trash as well for me. She’s very tidy. Very communicative and sends me updates throughout the day on Bentley. I appreciate her very much and will use her services again.
Skylar was great! She came by to meet the hounds before staying the first time, and went over the written instructions with me very carefully—making sure she understood emergency vet information, etc. Skylar checked in exactly as requested so I didn’t worry for a minute. She also asked a good clarifying question about one dog’s prescription medication, which made me comfortable she was very careful with the Rx. The house was spotless when I returned home—she had even changed the sheets which I totally did not expect! Most important, the dogs were calm and obviously had a fine time with their holiday sitter!!
We have some energetic dogs, and this was our first time with Jonathan. He did a wonderful job keeping them happy while we were out of town. He made our trip preparation worry free, kept us updated with photos of the pups, and most of all kept them safe and happy. 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 West 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 West 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 West 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.
