“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!”
“My boys took to her immediately and one can be very attached to me so that made it so much easier to leave him! Very attentive to them and kept me updated frequently. Highly recommend her'.”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“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.”
“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! 🐾”
“Julian did an excellent job taking care of my cat Simon. He followed all my instructions exactly like I wanted. He fed Simon at the appropriate schedule, cleaned his litter box, and made sure his water bowl was clean and filled. He also took the time to play with him and pet him so he wouldn’t feel lonely. I would hire Julian to take care of my cat again in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“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!! :)”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have spent the last 9 years caring for pets for others. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am currently working full time. A typical day in my life looks like; waking up at 7am, taking the pups for a walk, everyone gets breakfast, short play time before I leave at 8:30. I stop in at lunch for potty breaks. Then my husband, returns home just before 4pm. Friday- Sunday, and Holidays we are home. I have a fenced in yard, although we don’t leave our pups out unsupervised. My husband and I have two sweet dogs of our own. Both are friendly and we would love to schedule a meet before a booking! Penelope (9) shih tzu, and Oakley (<1) Cocker Spaniel. For the safety of our pups we kennel them when nobody is home, but will accommodate what is best for your pup!
“Aspyn was absolutely amazing while we were away on vacation! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and attentive to all of their needs. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home, and we could tell they had received plenty of love and attention while we were gone. Aspyn was also very friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would wholeheartedly recommend Aspyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I'm a 30 year old that currently has three sweet dogs and a cat of her own! I love all animals and I have experience with many different dogs and cats- big, small, playful or couch potato. I'm attentive, energetic and willing to give your pet all the play time they need! Your pet will be treated like royalty, and given all the love and treats they can dream of. I'm flexible, responsible and have plenty of experience caring for both cats and dogs! All of my previous and current fur babies are rescues, and unfortunately, some had horrible past owners. This gave me experience working with pets with anxiety and fear. I'm great with training, and will give your pet positive reinforcement in the form of lots of love, belly rubs, and scritches! Your pup will be in safe, loving hands when I'm around. I'm willing to give baths as well as administer oral medication if needed, and send many updates and pictures during your service! I have a lot experience with senior pets, having had 3 senior pets of my own previous, and currently have an 11 year old senior who gets routine oral medication via pill and oral syringe, so I have practice with admistering both. Having seen many of my pets through their senior lives, I am quick to spot any signs of medical emergency or off symptoms. Your pets will be getting my 12+ years of experience with my own animals. I have a flexible schedule currently, and I'd be happy to do a meet a greet! I hope to hear from you and be trusted with your fur babies! My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I'll have plenty of time to pamper your fur baby! I'm available during weekdays primarily, and can be available most weekends given prior notice. I have a large fenced yard for your baby to run around and play in, and very friendly pets to keep your fur baby company, if they want! I can easily crate your pup if it is needed as well.
“Laura is a very sweet young lady! She cared for my pets as if they were her own. She kept in contact with me, sent pictures, and called with questions as needed. She followed all instructions perfectly! My pets were well cared for while we were away. We will definitely hire Laura again in the future!”
“Savannah was so good with my mister independent Shadow. Everything went according to plan. He was happy to see me upon my return and I could tell he was in a good place. Plus everything was perfect at my home. Savannah is a delightful person as well as a great animal caregiver.”
About: As someone whos had pets, and taken care of friends pets. Ranging from big babies like pitbulls, to feisty orange cats. I've seen it all, and best thing you can do is love them unconditionally cause they do it for us. And that's why I'm enrolled into college to be a veterinarian. Now if you would like for me to train them, I can handle things from regular tricks to patience and management control. For walking services open from 11am-7pm (Sun-Friday) Not Saturdays! Do provide information on theirr eating habits diet restocks and allergies, if set for an appointment I offer walking, feeding, bathing services, all based on the dog. As long as their is clear communicated with what's in their schedule and diet restrictions are. But do keep in mind I prefer to Petsit at the persons residence because mine isn't eligible.
“Jeremy and Shannon were awesome. My pups loved them. They sent lots of pics and followed all instructions well. They took great care of my home and were super responsive. I will definitely have them dog sit at my home again. Thank you both!”
“Lori stayed with our sweet girl for a week. We are so very grateful for the way she cared for Zoe. Zoe was one happy girl with Lori! She has little habits and Lori followed through with them. She provided daily photos and notes. Very refreshing to have someone that cares about your pet the way you do! Thank you Lori!”
“Lexie was great with our boy! She stayed at our house (and was immaculately clean) - but more importantly took great care of our dog. She sent regular pics and updates and gave us peace of mind. He is an aging dog with specific needs and she took amazing care of him.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cocoa West
This was our first time using a house sitter so we were a bit nervous because we were going to be away for 20 days. However, our worries were unfounded. Kadence did a wonderful job looking after our dog and cat. She did things that exceeded expectations, like taking my dog to a dog park and buying treats for the cat. She even bought my dog a new toy which is now her favorite. At the end of her stay she stripped the bed linens and washed them. The house was just as neat and tidy as we left it 20 days before. The next time we travel we will be sure to check to see if Kadence is available.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cocoa West
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cocoa West on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,202 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.

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.
