“Kadence was amazing!! She stayed at our house with our dogs for a 5-day trip and we felt completely comfortable knowing both our dogs and our home were in such good hands. She followed their schedule, kept our house super clean, and was great about communicating with us and sending updates throughout the trip. She is so kind, genuine, and trustworthy, and you can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. She even got them a toy, which was so sweet and thoughtful! We came home to two very happy pups and our house exactly how we left it. We would 100% trust Kadence to stay in our home and watch our dogs again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker and sitter!”
“Jaxon was very professional and even came by for a second visit prior to our trip for a refresher since we booked a couple months in advance. She gave great updates and left our house the way she found it. We felt at ease our entire trip. Will definitely use her again. Thanks Jaxon!”
“Hailey took wonderful care of my pets and home while I was out of town. My two pups were happy and Hailey took great care to make sure their days were as close to normal as possible. We will definitely have her sit for us again in the future!”
“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: 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!
“Caitlyn went above and beyond with our pets. We were able to rest assured that they were in good hands. She was also willing to help us last minute and we couldn't have asked for more.”
“Amber was amazing! My dog was comfortable with her from the beginning, and I felt confident leaving her in Amber’s care. I got plenty of updates with photos. I’m looking forward to having her work with Ivy again.”
“Diana was wonderful watching Barney for a house sit when I was out of town for a few days. She provided very frequent updates with pictures and my home was in the same condition if not nearer than when I left..”
“Ruby is awesome! Our babies really enjoyed her company and warmed up to her really quick! Will definitely keep her in mind for our future needs! Book with Ruby for any of your needs! 🐾”
“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.”

“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!”
“Nicholas was a great sitter and did such a great job taking care of my two dogs! He was communicative, responsible and sent updates and pictures regularly. Nicholas is professional, kind and is very gentle with dogs exhibiting anxiety. I would use Nicholas over and over again!”
“Patsy is the best dog sitter one can wish for. She stayed an entire weekend at our house looking after our dog Cricket. She took excellent care of our baby and made sure he took his medicine on time. She kept us updated by sending text messages and pictures. We were able to relax and not to worry while we were away. I can highly recommend Patsy and from now on we will only go way and leave our dog behind if Patsy is available.”

We would 100% trust Kadence to stay in our home and watch our dogs again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker and sitter!
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.
Susanna was amazing with my (sometimes shy) pup! She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog can be a little nervous meeting new people, but Susanna was so patient—she got down on her level and let her warm up at her own pace. Before long, my girl was wagging and cuddling like they’d known each other forever. Came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a tidy house! Will absolutely book Susanna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.
This was our first time having Logan stay with our pups and cat and will not be the last. She was amazing and brought me great peace of mind knowing our fur babies were being well cared for while we were away. Thank you Logan and we look forward to having you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cocoa West on Rover is $32.64 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 1,232 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cocoa West. 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 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 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.

- 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.
