“Monica is so friendly and has been great with our two pups! We have a large German Shepherd that can be a bit reactive in sporadic instances and a mini Goldendoodle who likes to be the leader of the pack. She knows how to handle and interact with both of them, is always very sweet and kind to them and understands their individual temperaments well. Monica is also great with communication and keeps us up to date on our pups over the course of her time with them as well as if there’s any schedule shifts that might need to happen. It’s nothing but happy tails when Monica comes by!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I started by watching my aunt’s dogs when I was younger, and for the last couple of years I’ve also been walking and caring for my friends’ dogs. Im currently working a full time job at a restaurant so im only looking for something between 7:00am-2:30pm. On my days off though it does change! I’m happy to accommodate whatever your pup needs to feel safe and comfortable, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m great at following instructions and can help with any specific medications, exercises, or routines your pup may need.

About: Hi my name is Mariah. I have always loved animals! I am full time in college to become a Veterinarian. I have my own pug and him being spoiled is an understatement. I also have a cat as well. He is just as spoiled. I am very flexible with times and areas. I work in Merritt Island, which is where I normally am but I live in Cocoa and can service anywhere in between. (Titusville, Port St. John, Cocoa, rockledge, Viera, depending on my location) Book me if you want someone to love your babies🤍 Pet care fits into my schedule because I have a lot of flexibility in between work and my college classes. Working around my schedule for your animals will make me happy. My pup runs the house and the cat is the head captain in charge. I take my pup all over and love to have his company. Mine are not in crates but if you need me to crate your babies just let me know.

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.

Voted MVP by the Peanuts senior league for both fetch and tug of war. My 2026 Mystery Machine is equipped with a dog play pen that clips in the back seat. This gives your babe the safety, comfort and style to travel on any pawsome adventures you'd like to send us on. I'm available for house sitting and drop in visits, walks. For those super busy pet parents I offer daytime field trips to dog parks and beaches. As well as groomer and vet round trip visits*. *For field trips that include transportation and up to 2.5 hours of time spent, roundtrip door to door book at my daycare rate. NOTE I DO NOT HOST AT MY HOME. Daycare rate only for field trips. Any outing expected over that 2.5 hrs should be booked at the house sitting nightly rate for a maximum of 5 hours from your door back to your door. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions on this. My goal is to be their shaggy and your "pet" nurse. Good grief Charlie Brown the search is over . . . 🐾💙 this momma bear has them 🫂❤️🧸 With the exception of 7:30-8:30 am and 3-4 pm (school pick up times / school days only) I am here and at your disposal.

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!

About: Please note: Earliest morning drop off starts at 7:30am and pick up time must be 5:30 pm at the latest. About me: At the age of five, I bought a dog encyclopedia and memorized every dog breed in the book. Since then, I’ve loved dogs the way a mother would love her child; I would have 101 Dalmatians if I could. Not only do I enjoy giving love to dogs but I enjoy the love they give to me. I have two dogs, a 3yo male Border Collie and a 3yo female Husky mix. They love all dogs, but can easily be separated from your dog if that is your preference. I work remotely as a librarian/federal contractor, so I am stuck at home all day. We take supervised potty/play breaks ever ~2 hours. Walks depending on the wether. I have a very large backyard with a pecan tree so there are many squirrels for the dogs to bark at and chase. Let me be the one to give your dog love while you are away! Schedule: It is a part of my daily life. The first thing I do when I wake is let the dogs out and feed them. And letting them out for their final potty break is the last thing I do before going to sleep. Safety, trust, & environment: Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my house. While I have a spare room that is dedicated to the dogs I care for (filled with dog toys and beds), they are also entitled to free reign in my home if they are able to safely handle that.

About: I had a reactive dog for the last 18 years. I understand the quirks and behaviors of dogs very well. I will always listen to the owner's advice and not assume that I know best. I am currently unemployed, so this is my priority! I am available 24/7 until I am out of town for family obligations. I am excited to get some much-needed exercise with your pets. I was a helicopter mom with my dog. I took him to the vet pretty quickly. I will notice any change in your dog and notify you right away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and am looking to extend my role. I have worked as a pet sitter before and have experienced doing different types of medications that might be needed. Looking for some work in between my day job. Right now I have full availability, once my schedule picks up I will become more limited. I’ve dealt with all kinds of animals and look forward to meeting new furry friends. I have leashes and treats for all types of dogs. While I cannot offer care for pets in my home, I can exceed the level of care needed in my clients home.

About: I’ve had multiple pets my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I’ve also pet sat and walked dogs for my neighbors and friends for many years. I’m very reliable, always on time, and great at following detailed instructions, so your pet’s routine stays the same while you’re away. I truly care about how your animal is feeling and what they need, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I recently moved back home, and pet sitting is now my full-time focus! I’m active, dependable, and love spending time with animals. My priority is always your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness. With open availability, I can be flexible and accommodate your pet’s specific needs, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else their pet needs. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of attention and a chance to burn off some energy. While house sitting, I spend time with pets so they have company and don’t feel lonely while their owner is away. I truly want pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for the whole time I’m with them.

“This was my first time using rover.com and I will most definitely use Monika again. I love the daily updates and the pictures that she sends. She took care of giving her medication and she was fantastic on every level. I was in a bit of a bind and had my flight canceled and she stepped right up and took care of my dog for an extra 2 walks. I highly recommend Monika.”

About: I currently play professional baseball and I have taken care of many animals from my family and friends in the past. My family owned many animals and I currently own my own cat. I have worked with large dog, small dogs and all the in between. I currently coach baseball lessons, so I am pretty free to take care of animals throughout most days. I usually block out my Lessons for an hour or two per lesson. I am the type of person to leave the place better than I found it. I am very respectful of places and make sure the animals do what they need to do before I leave.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with lots of personal experience caring for my own dogs, as well as family and friends’ pets. My husband and I rescued our 6-year-old pit bull mix from the SPCA in Titusville, so I know how rewarding—and sometimes challenging—it can be to care for dogs with different personalities and needs. We lost our other family dog last year who was my best friend. He was also a rescue but a lab mix and lived a full 15 year life. I’m comfortable with all dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime and ball throwing, a potty break, a meal, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m available weekdays and weekends throughout the day for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and provide updates so you can feel confident knowing your pup is happy and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and general pet care. I’m not able to administer certain medications, such as injections, but I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs before booking. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day on weekdays and weekends. I’m able to provide consistent, dependable walks and drop-in visits and can work with your pet’s routine and needs. I enjoy having pet care as part of my day and look forward to giving each pet plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to their behavior, surroundings, and individual needs while providing plenty of exercise, play, affection, and companionship. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and will treat your pet with the same care and respect I give my own dog. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Rockledge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Rockledge is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,611 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rockledge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rockledge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Rockledge after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockledge. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
