“Molly was amazing !!!!! You can tell immediately that she loves animals and will be perfect to put your mind at ease knowing she will take care of your fur babies !!!! She communicated with us to keep us up to date and she was timely and dependable !!!!”
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies while we were away. Because we arrived back home around the times that Nicole had been coming to care for them in the evening, our cats came running to the door and seemed disappointed when they didn’t see her. I can’t give enough praises on how Nicole got on Miss Monster’s (aka Jezebel) good side and worked her magic while giving her the twice a day insulin shots she needs. And Toby keeps looking for his new best friend! We will definitely be calling on Nicole again in the future.”
About: Hi there! My name is Kira and I'm 24 years old. I am a hug animal lover and have been taking care of pups and cats since I was very young. Growing up my step father was a vet tech, because of this he brought us along to pet sit for dogs and cat while people were away. I also have a cat name Walter and a dog named Disney who I love and care for. I also work front desk at Dogtopia of Viera were I have learned more about dog care as well. I understand how stressful it can be with leaving a pet at home by themselves and I want to help make that process easier for both you and your pet. I can't wait to get to know you and your furry friends! I am currently working only Mondays and Tuesdays in Rockledge from 1 PM - 7:15 PM. I will occasionally go up to Orlando for quick trips as well. Either than that I am free. I have experience with all different environment for you pet. I follow any instructions for your pet weather it's feedings, walks, medications, ect. Whatever you need.
About: We adopted our first pups in 2004 and cared for them for 18 pup-snuggled years. During that time, and since then, we have rescued, fostered and adopted animals of all kinds to include chickens, ducks and a pig named Kevin Bacon! Currently, we're home to Guinevere, the mild-mannered, 6 year-old rescued mutt. We do have an 11-year-old hooman "puppy" who is just as loving and respectful of animals as we are. We will love and care for your fur-babies as if they were our very own. We are home almost all day, every day, so your pet will never be alone. I homeschool our son, and my husband works from home. Your pet will have ample opportunities to play outside in our 1/2 acre back yard. Our neighborhood is very quiet with houses situated on ~acre lots. We have neighbors with dogs, but they usually just run over to the fence to say hello and then go about their business. In our home, your fur-babies can roam freely, and they will have access to our 1/2, partially shaded, completely fenced-in back yard as often as they need. If your dog is one who prefers walks, our peaceful neighborhood has lots of places to explore; there is a nice park 1/2 mile away where they can sniff around where all of the turtles and ducks like to hang out. Pups who stay with us overnight are welcome to stay in their crate (if that's what they prefer), anywhere in the house, and, likely, on one of our beds.
About: I grew up in a house with lots of animals, dogs, cats, chickens, even some more exotic ones like iguanas, tarantulas, rats. I have experience with horses, goats and livestock. As well as an associates in Veterinary Technology, along with that comes experience handling and giving medications. I'm currently going back to school for an Environmental Science Bachelors. My dog is also on 2x day walk/ 2x day eating schedule so I am happy to accommodate any special needs! I have a sweet almost 3yr old dog that would happily keep any animal company, a yard to play in and lots of toys. I have multiple crates to accommodate if your pet would prefer to have a safe space. I would love them like my own!
“Lois was absolutely amazing with our dogs and cats! She took her time with them and they warmed up so fast with her! She is great at communication and pictures which we appreciate because we miss our fur babies so much when we are away from them. We 100% recommend her to take care of your fur babies while you’re gone. ☺️”
“Thank you to Isaac for taking such good care of our Chelsea the cat. He is very kind and respectful of the animals boundaries. It was reassuring to know she would be well taken care of while we weren’t home. If anyone needs an animal sitter, contact Isaac, very nice young man.”
“Alex is an incredible dog sitter. Our wheatens are high energy and Alex does a great job of tiring them out. We know we can count on her, she is dependable and dedicated to our fur babies.”
“Brian is the absolute best sitter on Rover! My doggies adore him and are always smiling and very well-fed each visit. He always updates me with messages and photos of my babies and is very responsive and attentive to their needs. Whenever I have to travel now, I have to first make sure that Brian is available to take care of my babies before making any reservations! He is a very flexible and responsible sitter and I’m always at ease whenever my doggies are eating and playing with Brian. Many thanks as always Brian and I’m sure my doggies are looking forward to seeing you again!”
“Danielle is awesome!!!! She did such a great job at looking after our three cats. Normally when we come back from trips our animals are mad at us. Not this time! They are all happy and satisfied because they were looked after so well. Thank you Danielle!!”

“Sophia is AMAZING. We, the parents, didn’t meet her in person because we were out on a work trip and needed help last minute. Our dog had a mole that was in bad shape due to her licking on it, and Sophia took EXCELLENT care of her wound, was extremely careful, took pictures, and communicated with us all the time. She was sweet with our dog and patient while checking in on the wound and cleaning it and ensuring it was covered for the night. Our family members were taking care of our dog; they only speak Spanish, and Sophia managed to communicate and be super respectful and friendly with them too. Thank you, Sophia; you are an angel!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life I have walked them and played with them. Helped raise puppies and helped senior dogs take medicine and live their last years comfortably. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals. I have experience feeding all different animals and loving every animal. During the summer I work part time, I am a student at Florida Tech and live right across from the school so when the semester comes I can easily check on the animals when needed. I am home before dinner time most days and currently only work weekend afternoon shifts (12-5). I make aure they are fed when needed and have water. I love giving pets attention and there is a dog park on the apartment grounds I would take them to play at. I listen when a pet asks for something like going outside, and I always make sure litter is cleaned or poop is picked up.
“Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! Jessica was awesome and very reliable. She followed every instruction we left and never really needed extra guidance (which we wouldn’t have minded) but it was nice to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you so much again, will definitely use you again for any future trips.”
“Wendy watched my partner’s 3 cats while we were on vacation. She came over each day and pet and fed them and made sure their litter boxes are clean. Every day we got an update and pictures and this was a huge relief for us. Knowing they were well taken care of was worth it! Thank you Wendy.”
“Ashley has been SO wonderful! Luigi loves her visits and playing with her. She always sends thorough updates, and she takes the time to make sure that he gets what he needs during her visits, including love and playtime! I feel so thankful to have found her, and knowing that Luigi is in good hands has been a blessing. Ashley is the BEST!!”
“Celia is a natural with animals and was wonderful with my boys from start to finish! We were gone for 6 weeks but knew the whole time that our cats were in the best hands. 🤍 Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies and even going out of your way to make sure our home was in order! I highly recommend Celia to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, loving pet sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Melbourne
Molly is a gem! This was my first experience with Rover and I was a little tentative about leaving my cat Wally while I was traveling. Molly was so warm and caring, super communicative, and took great care of Wally. She helped with some more involved older-cat care and helped me coordinate with our vet while I was out of town. Would absolutely book her again next time I'm traveling. Thank you so much, Molly!
Sophia is AMAZING. We, the parents, didn’t meet her in person because we were out on a work trip and needed help last minute. Our dog had a mole that was in bad shape due to her licking on it, and Sophia took EXCELLENT care of her wound, was extremely careful, took pictures, and communicated with us all the time.

Kyle did an amazing dog with both my dogs and cat! I can tell he is a huge animal lover and he spent quality time with all my pets and I could see how much they enjoyed his company. Although I have a pet cam I appreciate that he went above and beyond with sending me multiple videos of my pets. He has earned my trust that he will not just check in but also give my animals love while I am gone :)
Fen was great! She was thoughtful and understood his needs. She had initiative and good suggestions. She updated me in everything. I felt at Peace knowing she was there, even though he is a shy ca that hides when he doesn’t know the person she could void on the predictablity she provided and ate and used the litter normally showing he was relaxed.Thank you Fen!
Mary went above and beyond to make sure Charlie (and our fish) were well taken care of during our trip. We never had to worry and she routinely stayed over the thirty minute time slot and gave him long walks to let him get his time outside in. He’s a bigger dog with some reactivity with small animals and she handled him with no issues at all and extreme care. From the pictures we got we could tell that Charlie really loved her! I highly recommend Mary for dog sitting!!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,124 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Melbourne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Melbourne stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 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 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.
