Alison came HIGHLY recommended by two of my best friends and I could not be happier to have booked with her. My pittie mix can be veryyy anxious around new humans but Alison was patient with her and took such good care of our girl after she accepted our very last minute booking. We will absolutely be using her in the future!

Amazing as always. At this point, we’ve been hiring Marlene on and off for 6 YEARS. If her schedule matched with ours, we’d ask her back indefinitely. If you’re lucky enough to see her available, hire her! Your pets will thank you!

Heather visited with Ruby before and were friends from the beginning. She was on time at the agreed hours and took care of Ruby with no issues. I found her to be friendly, reliable and pampering towards Ruby. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Ruby anytime. Thanks Heather, till next time!

About: I am a friend to all animals!! I'm from Florida so I love all kinds of wildlife and have a big appreciation for nature and love to be outdoors, love to take pets on long walks and go to the beach with them. I've had dogs of varying sizes, from chihuahua to doberman, so I can handle a few different dogs on a walk. I'm fine with any activity level, dogs who like to nap all day or dogs who need to be taken out multiple times. I am also the worlds biggest cat person as I currently am mom to 3 cats, Sasha, Isis, and Frank!! I do absolutely wonderful with cats and am very good at taking care of them and understanding their needs, their boundaries, and their social cues. Not just cats and dogs I've also had bunnies, fish, turtles, and birds as well so my love for animals goes deep. I understand how important they are to us so I would take care of any pet like they are my own. I work from home so I can take care of pets every day. I wake up at 7 am to begin taking care of my cats. I have availabilities 7 days a week. If your pet has a specific routine just fill me in on the details and I will treat them as if they were my own! I live in a home with a backyard and multiple rooms for space for pets. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where I can walk dogs for miles and miles! If a pet requires any type of specific space, I have room to provide it for them.

About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.

Katy took care of my three dogs for the weekend while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and kept me updated with photos and notes about how they did throughout the weekend. The dogs were so happy and well cared for! It was comforting to know my pups were in great hands while I was away. Thank you, Katy! We look forward to seeing you again :)

Thomas is hands down the best dog caretaker I have ever used; truly appreciate the care he provides! There is always a sense of stress and worry when traveling and having to leave my fur child behind but we did a greet and meet beforehand and Thomas was amazing with my baby boy from the start! Thomas was very supportive, responsive and genuinely cared for Buddha while I was away; going above and beyond expectations and cared for the wellbeing of my dog. Words cannot express how thankful I feel but here’s a shot, THANK YOU THOMAS!

If I could give her 100 stars I would! She took such good care of all my babies while we were gone and got pictures of everyone when she went to check on them. I’m new to the area so I was a little nervous about leaving them but Amy completely gave me peace of mind. You can tell she is an animal lover and they love her right back. She was awesome? Thanks so much Amy! <3

Samantha was absolutely amazing with Quinn! I can tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals and makes yours feel loved and doted on. She was reliable, professional, and made sure to keep me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My quinn was loved on, well cared for, and extremely comfortable with her from the moment they met. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure all of his needs were met, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitting experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Anika is hands down the best Rover sitter my fur kids have ever had. We all will miss her as we are moving out of state. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s responsive, reliable, communicative and writes the best report cards- I feel like I’m really caught up on the animals with her in charge. If you’re looking for a good sitter look no further!

Kylie was beyond amazing! I love to travel but have always been stressed whenever away from my boys & was never able to leave for the length of time I’d like. Kylie made the whole experience so smooth & so easy! Not once did I stress on vacation & they even went above & beyond, asking if they could help groom Jerry! I’m beyond grateful to have her in my life now & will book her instantly whenever traveling. I would recommend her to anyone & everyone! She cares about your pets & your household. I came home to clean dishes, litter & happy kitties! We love Kylie!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Gulfport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Gulfport on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 105 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gulfport. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
