“Sydney is a keeper. Both of my dogs and the family love how punctual she was. Her attention to detail and a healthy attention to both dogs. She made sure to send pictures and updates. My favorite part of our first Rover experience is that Chase’s ball broke and Sydney got him a new one. I love that she went the extra mile for Chase and for us.”

“Candice was punctual, attentive, and so kind to my dog and two cats. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout her visits, and based on what she shared, even my pets, who are usually pretty wary of strangers, warmed up to her and came up to her for pets. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for in her hands. We’ve already got her lined up for more visits!”

About: I grew up in a home full of animals and loved every second of it. Being surrounded by dogs was such a special part of my childhood and helped shape my love for caring for them. Today, I have a 3 year old dachshund of my own who has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to know your baby is in safe and loving hands when you’re away. That’s why, on my days off, I enjoy providing that same peace of mind to other pet owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy incorporating pet care into my weekly routine. They bring a special kind of happiness and comfort, and I love having the opportunity to care for them when their owners need a helping hand. have a home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise throughout the day. Inside, pets are treated like part of the family and are welcome to relax, play, and roam comfortably in a safe, supervised environment. I understand that every dog is different, so I do my best to maintain the schedule and care they are accustomed to at home.

About: I have over 10 years of experience dog and cat sitting, and my love for animals started at a very young age. I have always enjoyed caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I also help train both of my dogs that I share with my dad, so I have experience with basic training and reinforcing good habits. As an athlete, I love staying active and taking dogs on walks, playing outside, and even going for runs if that’s something they enjoy! I am happy to accommodate each pet’s individual needs, personality, and energy level. In the morning I love to walk and run on the beach and in general. I also go on nightly walks. I go to work from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm during the day. In my home, pets are always a top priority. I believe they are family, not just animals, and deserve the same love, attention, and care as any other family member. Caring for a pet is a big responsibility, and I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved at all times.

About: Hi! I’m Lauren — an active, outdoorsy person who recently traded the corporate grind for a little more freedom, and I’m excited to spend some of that time with your dog or cat! I grew up with dogs my entire life and have years of experience pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love being around animals. I especially enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m equally happy hanging out with a pup who just wants some company. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, communicate throughout the visit, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for. I’ve also put in time sitting cats - including some high-maintenance felines that needed special medication administered. You can trust me to follow instructions closely! I have a very flexible schedule right now while I am pursuing entrepreneurial ventures. I’d love to use dog sitting as a regular part of my schedule to get outside and keep moving - recurring bookings welcomed! 😊 I am meticulous and am always sure to completely close and secure all gates, doors, exits, etc. I’ll always keep my eye on your pet to keep them safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a special love for them.

About: I am a positive and enthusiastic pet lover who has been dog sitting off and on since I was a teenager. I recently graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in political communication and have moved back home to Jacksonville. I currently work part time and am looking for a way to make a little extra money. I have a 15-year-old Shih Tzu and a 12-year-old Boxer mix. I have been taking care of my Shih Tzu since I was a child and I adopted my senior Boxer mix in 2023. I am extremely responsible and have been trusted with several jobs, including dog sitting and walking. I have experience with wound care, medicine (including administering eye drops), and bathing both small and large dogs. I live just a 1/2 mile away from the beach which is perfect for walks and playtime. I look forward to loving and caring for your pups just as I care for mine! My work schedule varies and is not consistent but I typically work Tuesday and Friday nights, and sometimes on Sunday or Saturday nights. I’m typically free in the mornings and afternoons. I live in a condo complex with my parents and our two dogs, but they are friendly with other dogs. The surrounding area/neighborhood is beautiful and is just a 1/2 mile from the beach, perfect for walks and playtime.

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.

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.

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. 📝📋🩺🩹🧰

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.

She was amazing with Capone, my American bully mix! She was always on time, super attentive, and made sure everything I asked for was taken care of. She went above and beyond during her visits and spent time with him rather than just checking on him and leaving. She would play with him, take him on walks, and even on a rainy day, she spent the visit hanging out and cuddling with him inside. She sent great updates after every visit, including multiple pictures and a little recap of how the visit went. She was also very respectful of the house. Capone was always so happy after her visits. I would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Neptune Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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 2,650 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Neptune Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.

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.
