I was surprised how quickly she won him over and loved seeing pictures of Binx playing and eagerly accepting Alyssa’s attention. Alyssa is dependable and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Alyssa and look forward to booking her to care for my sweet boy in the future.”

About: Tail-Wagging Adventures & Five-Star Drop-InsFrom spunky small breeds to playful mid-sized sidekicks, I love them all! I specialize exclusively in neighborhood walks and drop-in visits for small to medium dogs weighing up to 40 pounds. As a lifelong animal lover raised on a farm, I speak fluent dog body language and know exactly how to match their unique energy levels while keeping them completely safe and structured. Having loved my own two precious dogs through 15 beautiful years all the way to the rainbow bridge, I treat every single walk and check-in with the ultimate respect, care, and a healthy dose of fun.Here is how I give your fur babies the VIP treatment:Tailored Neighborhood Struts: We don’t just walk; we explore safely! I keep our pacing perfectly matched to your dog's size and energy level, ensuring they get the perfect mix of exercise and sniffing time.On-the-Dot Drop-Ins: Need a mid-day bathroom break, a fresh bowl of water, a quick feed, and an emergency belly rub while you're at work? Consider it done. I bring a reliable, joyful presence right to your living room.Instructions Followed to a T: Whether your pup has a highly specific feeding routine, strict house rules, or a special trick they like to show off before getting a treat, your manual is my absolute blueprint.Because I am meticulous about following detailed directions, you can enjoy your day knowing your dog’s routine will be honored perfectly. Let's get your pup's tail wagging! Maximum Flexibility for Mid-Day Walks & Timely Drop-Ins!Because I work part-time, my schedule is extremely flexible and open, which makes pet care a seamless and joyful part of my daily routine! I am not tied down to a rigid 9-to-5 desk job, so I have the unique freedom to structure my days entirely around the needs of my furry clients.Whether your cat requires a morning check-in on the dot, or your small-to-medium dog needs a high-energy neighborhood stroll right in the middle of the work day, I can accommodate those precise timeframes with ease. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate myself fully to each drop-in and walk, ensuring I am never rushed and can follow your pet's routine to an absolute T. Your pet's schedule becomes my schedule! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities when entering your home. Because I am a dedicated pet owner myself, I treat your space and your fur babies with the ultimate respect, care, and vigilance. I have a strict, structured safety protocol for every single drop-in visit and walk:Scent Mindfulness & Cat Safety: Managing a multi-cat household means I am deeply familiar with cat redirection aggression triggered by foreign scents. For the safety of your kitties, I ensure I carry zero home cat pheromones or scents on my clothes or hands when entering your home, creating a stress-free environment the moment I arrive.Secure Home Management: I double-check that all doors and gates are securely locked when entering and leaving. I am meticulous about home security, key handling, and ensuring your property is exactly how you left it.Reading Body Language: Raised on a farm, I speak fluent animal body language. I know how to read subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or illness in both cats and small-to-medium dogs, allowing me to adjust my approach to keep them completely comfortable and safe.Instruction Blueprint: Your house rules and care sheets are my absolute blueprint. Whether it's complex medication management, strict feeding boundaries, or keeping a 40lb-and-under pup safely away from larger hazards on a neighborhood walk, I follow your directions strictly to a T.

About: I've had cats and dogs of my own throughout my whole life and I have cared for other peoples pets since I was in elementary school. From your more common house pets like cats, dogs and hamsters, to some more uncommon pets like lizards, goats, horses, cows and pigs, I love and have cared for them all. It is so fun connecting with other creatures, learning about them, seeing their personalities and forming a connection with them! I work part time and my schedule is very flexible, so having pet/house sitting jobs is a perfect way to fill my schedule. I can come and go as necessary to take care of the little fur babies and plan each day accordingly. I want to care for your fur babies in whatever way makes you feel most comfortable. I will follow the instructions that are left for me and if I have questions during my time caring for them, I will ask. I like to send photo updates as well so you can see your little babies and feel comfort and ease knowing they are being taken care of!

About: I understand how much pets mean to the people who are lucky enough to have them, and I will treat yours as I would my own🩵 Caring for animals has been a long time passion of mine. I spent 7 years as a veterinary technician working across small clinics, a large animal hospital, a specialty oncology and internal medicine hospital, and a mobile vet practice. I take pride in the years I spent as a vet tech and the skills I acquired. I served as a lead technician and head surgery technician, and fiercely loved and respected every patient I cared for. I'm experienced with medication administration, SQ fluids, and injections, and I bring a calm, patient approach to every pet I work with. At home, I care for my own two dogs, I also previously rescued and loved my late dog Lily and provided special care and daily dedication after she was diagnosed with Cushing's disease. I also cared for an FIV-positive cat through his own health journey over the 19 years we spent together, so I understand what it takes to nurture pets through both easy days and hard ones. The time we are given with them each day is so special and I intend to treat your pets like the angels on Earth that they are. My schedule is pretty flexible! I am available most mornings & early afternoons, evenings are limited to a few days a week. (usually unavailable during the evening on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday.) Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority, whether I'm in your home for a drop-in visit or out on a walk. I treat every home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own, securing doors and gates, following your specific instructions for feeding, medication, or routines, and staying alert to anything that seems off with your pet's behavior or health. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and under close watch at all times, avoid unfamiliar dogs or situations that could cause stress, and pay attention to weather and pace so it stays safe and enjoyable. I am knowledgeable in dog/cat first aid and carry an emergency pet first aid kit. My background as a veterinary technician means I know what to watch for if something seems wrong, and most importantly I do not panic when faced with stressful or emergent situations. I always communicate promptly with updates, photos, or any concerns during my visit💌 you can rest assured that your pet (+/- your home) will be cared for with the highest consideration of all details. 📝📋🩺🩹🧰

About: I'm a photographer that almost exclusively works from home. I can ensure not only a comfortable environment, but professional quality photos by the end of your fur babies stay. I've taken care of dogs since I was 15, but have had a paralyzed miniature dachshund in a wheelchair for 4 years. I manually expressed his bladder as he was incontinent, distributed oral medication, and managed that while having another miniature dachshund in the household. I'm very comfortable with special needs animals and their care. I also have experience injecting insulin for diabetic pets in need. I am currently working as a self employed photographer. I work from home and edit. Occasionally I will have a photoshoot but that is never more than a few hours and have a roommate who is able to step in and let the dogs out if needed. If given advanced notice, I can arrange my schedule to be home. I'm always happy to take photos of your sweet babies and send plenty of videos as well. I have a fenced in yard and have had two pets in the past. I currently am a pet free home and love all the animals that I watch like they’re my own!

About: Having had dogs my entire life, caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I also have personal experience caring for a cat with Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome (FHS) who has undergone multiple knee surgeries and replacements due to luxating patella. This has taught me the importance of attentive, gentle care, recognizing changes in behavior, and following post-surgical care instructions closely. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring, capable hands. I’m looking for a flexible, work-from-home opportunity that allows me to do something I truly love. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have a special place in my heart for animals, so caring for your fur babies would be such a rewarding experience! I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when their routines are maintained and they receive plenty of love and attention. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I’m experienced with cats and dogs of all ages, including senior pets and animals recovering from surgery, so I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and paying attention to changes in behavior. I would make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

“I don’t even know where to start. I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and was panicking about my cats and my apartment. Illeana responded right away and stepped in when I really needed someone. She met me at the hospital to get my keys and took such good care of my babies, sending me pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. But what she did beyond that completely shocked me. I came home to a clean apartment. She took out all my trash, cleaned my kitchen, washed dishes, bought bowls for my cats, left cleaning supplies and even flowers on the counter. She showed me so much kindness during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had. I have no family or friends in this country so she’s the only one I had during that time. She is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. I will never forget what she did for me and my cats. If you’re thinking about booking her, please do. She’s amazing.”

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years, pet-sat for friends and family, and have been walking/sitting dogs on Wag! and Rover since February 2024. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I’m reliable, attentive, and love making sure every pet gets safe, fun, and personalized care! I’m a senior nursing student at UNF. I have class Friday mornings and clinicals on Wednesdays, but otherwise I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and overnight stays! I prioritize safety, reliability, and your pet’s comfort in every visit. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and any health concerns. During walks and drop-ins, I use secure leashes, double-check doors and gates, and provide constant supervision. I’m attentive to body language, hydration, and overall well-being, and I always leave your home clean and as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy.

About: I took care of my family dog for years! After moving to away from home, I miss taking her on walks every day seeing how happy it would make her! I was sole provider for her, as I walked, fed, and bathed her while taking her to any vet appointments! I’m currently in graduate school and working full time. I am available after 4pm Friday - Monday, before 5pm on Tuesday, and all day Wednesday and Thursday. I definitely do not have a strict schedule and it can easily be discussed if I am needed outside of my listed availability! I have a kitty fur baby now and I love making sure that she has toys and things to keep her mind busy! Making sure our pets are stimulated and not bored is so important to me.

Candice was great at taking care of my two kitties! I have a kitten and senior cat who require extra care given their ages and Candice went above and beyond. She provided a photo and update every visit which put me at ease. She has a very kind demeanor and left my house as good (if not better) than I left. I would recommend Candice for future pet care and hope to rebook her soon.

Baylee always does such a great job that I’m starting to wonder if my cats like her more than me 😄! They come out to greet her during each visit which is a rarity for my one cat as he tends to be very shy. I’m so glad that I don’t have to worry about my guys while I am away because she always provides plenty of pics so I can see that they are well fed, litter clean and happy to get some company. Thanks again as always!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Neptune Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Neptune Beach is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 November 2026, there are 369 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Neptune Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Neptune Beach. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitter.
