“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'.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Hi everyone! I just signed up for rover and I’m super excited! I’ve had animals all my life. Big dogs, small dogs and cats. I know the responsibility that comes with them and how they need to be taken care of. In my eyes I see it as my pets being my children. I make it very apparent to clean and make sure that they are comfortable. Especially in your home. I am currently not working at the moment. So I am available anytime all the time ! I am looking for a part time job but nothing in the works yet ! I will be able to come and see your pets whenever you need. Whether it’s just for the night maybe a couple of days or just even popping in while you are working ! I do prefer to see your fur babies in your home. I think it reduces stress levels for them when they know they are in their own space and territory. But if it’s needed to be in mine that’s more than welcomed too! My space is very clean and they will have a fenced yard to fro-lick and play as much as they want to ! I do have dogs which might be a deal breaker, but I will make sure to keep your fur baby comfortable until they see you 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..”
“Patsy took care of my 3 dogs like her own. She quickly earned their trust while we were away. Even our 16 year old ate while we were away which is unusual for Emma. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”
“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.”
“Wow- Wendy is so kind and thorough that we were blown away. She kept us totally updated on our dogs, loved on them so much, and left the house absolutely perfect. By far the best sitter we have found through Rover. Cannot thank her enough!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Kya took care of our pup in our home for 5 days while we went on vacation and she was awesome! She is so kind, responsive, and most importantly she took great care of our girl! Kya also took good care of our home! Will recommend her to everyone we know, and will definitely be requesting her for future care!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a Great Pyrenees of my own, so I'm comfortable caring for large, powerful breeds that need confidence, patience, and consistency. I also have experience with Pit Bulls and understand that every dog is unique and deserves individualized care based on their personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic, laid-back, shy, or strong on the leash, I focus on providing safe, dependable, and loving care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I own and operate my own online businesses, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I can often accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Because I set my own hours, I'm able to provide reliable care and give pets the time and attention they deserve rather than trying to fit them around a traditional 9-to-5 job. My flexibility also makes it easier to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to meet whatever your pet's needs are. Whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship, I'll follow your instructions carefully to help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I believe consistency is important, so I'll do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I'm always happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“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.”
“Lori is great. We are in Cocoa Beach part time and have not needed a dog sitter very much in the past. This time, we used Lori 4 times including a multi day sleepover, a one day sleepover, and two days of walking. We live on the 5th floor of a condo unit and it's a bit of a pain to take the dogs down the stairs to the dog walk area. Lori was very prompt, sent lots of pictures, communicated well and really seemed to like our pups, and them her. We will definitely use her again when we have a need.”
“Savannah is an absolute sweetheart. Our puppy Enzo was very comfortable with her and she took great care of him. She communicated with us while we were gone and sent photos of Enzo being absolutely content. I definitely recommend Savannah!”

Kya took care of our pup in our home for 5 days while we went on vacation and she was awesome! She is so kind, responsive, and most importantly she took great care of our girl!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockledge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rockledge on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 930 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockledge. 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 Rockledge 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 Rockledge 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 Rockledge 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockledge. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
