“Brittany and Stephen are wonderful people! They love your Family as their own. They have a beautiful home with a fenced in yard and my dogs love being with them. 11/10 would VERY HIGHLY recommend! 🌴🛬🌺🛫🌴”
“Skylar is amazing!!! Went above and beyond for us, and she took great care of my boy. Excellent communication and flexibility. Definitely had peace of mind with her and will book again. Highly recommend!”
“So happy I found Dan! My puppy obviously had a blast playing with all the other boarders as well as Dan’s puppy MACO- she didn’t want to leave! Also it was comforting to know that all the dogs that were guests at his house along with my puppy were all friendly dogs. They all got along well! A huge thank you to Dan for trimming my puppy’s toenails too! I will be using Dan from now on for my dog sitter. Thanks again Dan!”
“Cici loved going to Erandi's beautiful home! She sent lots of picture updates, and we'll definitely be booking again. I feel very safe leaving Cici here, she's an amazing dog sitter.”
“Our dogs loved their time with Gianna and her big yard out back! She sent daily updates and pictures. When we came to pick them up, they were very happy, will certainly be visiting again. Great stay, thanks Gianna!”
“This was our first time leaving our 85 lb Rottweiler mix, Sheba, since adopting her from the rescue about a year ago—and after meeting Dawn, we felt completely at ease. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Dawn would treat Sheba like one of her own. She has a beautiful home with a warm, welcoming family and a spacious, fenced-in yard filled with toys to keep Sheba active and entertained. What really stood out was Dawn’s genuine care and attentiveness. When Sheba woke up at 2 a.m. whining, Dawn not only took her outside but even spent the rest of the night on the couch to comfort her. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond like that. We’re so grateful to have found Dawn and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible sitter for their pet.”
“I left my dog with Tiffany, this was my first time using Rover and entrusting him with someone outside of my family or a close friend. Tiffany provided the utmost comfort and care. She relieved any worries I had and continuously updated me on how Buddy is doing and what there plans are for the day. I had an emergency and she was able to flexible with time. You can tell so easily that Tiffany cares a great deal towards animals and is the sweetest soul. She seriously goes above and beyond, this is the person you want watching your animals! She was able to meet all of my needs for Buddy and so much more. Thank you for all the care and all the love you provided Buddy, Tiffany. You’re an amazing human.”
“Kaitlyn did such an amazing job! She was wonderful and kept me updated throughout the week and sent lots of photos and videos! I would definitely recommend:)”
“We have used Nikki on multiple occasions for mid-day walks as well as multiple day/night stays for our two dogs, a Doberman named Maggie and a terrier mix named Widget. Nikki has been just fantastic caring for our girls! Maggie and Widget require specific care, and Nikki is always so accommodating, caring, thorough, and attentive. She took the time to arrange a "meet and greet" with myself and the dogs beforehand and made us feel comfortable that we were leaving our dogs in caring and capable hands. She had no problem accommodating special feeding and medication requests, and went out of her way to make sure the girls had plenty of activities to keep them busy and plenty of comfy places to sleep and relax during their stay. Her home is extremely dog friendly and she has a fenced yard with ample opportunity for exploring, playing, and swimming in the pool! She always provides us with many updates and pictures which allows us to relax and enjoy our time out of town, or to know our dogs are being well attended to during longer work days. We are glad to have found Nikki, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care for their dog(s)!”
“Christina, you are a life saver! Thank you so much for allowing Maple to stay with you and your group of doggo friends all day. You were so very nice and accommodating! Maple was one tired puppy after playing all day! Thank you for the pictures, updates and allowing her to visit with you even though her dads were late!”
“Amazing experience! Liz and her husband Bryan were wonderful to our pets while we were away for several days. We received check-ins from her everyday with pictures and updates of how they were doing. They cared for them as their own and provided a fun and safe experience for them. We came home to very happy babies! I would recommend Liz to anyone! P.S. to anyone with big dogs- our lab Smoky is 2-years old, 80 lbs, and obsessed with playtime. They were able to handle him effortlessly and were totally comfortable with his big boy antics. Again, definitely recommend!”
“Amazing! Cassandra was super nice and accommodating with my kitty, this was a very last minute and she went above and beyond to make sure Toshi was taken care of. Great communication!”
“My experience using Kriss' services was excellent. Kriss was on time for the pickup and delivery of our pet, Liza. Kriss updated me fairly often, giving me details regarding Liza's stay at her apartment. Kriss even sent photos and texts whenever requested and a couple of times, Kriss sent updates on her own. On the pictures, Liza always looked happy, groomed and clean. I will continue using Kriss’ services, and, based on my experience, recommend you continue placing pets under her care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
We couldn't have asked for better caregivers for our two dogs! They are kind, patient, and considerate. You can tell that they really do love pets! Our boys got spoiled with toys and lots of affection. We got updates throughout the day on how the dogs were doing and how much they were enjoying their time. That helped us enjoy our vacation knowing that our boys were in good hands. Also, the backyard is amazing, lots of room to run and areas to explore. Angela and Kenny were flexible with me and my schedule. They made the whole experience stress-free. I'm very grateful for that!
Pam is WONDERFUL! We have a 8 month old puppy and have had Pam watch her every time. She truly cares about the dogs in her care and it gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. Not only does she take them for walks, she practices training with her, takes her on adventures to the beach and to the park, and is always sending pictures and videos. She truly is the best. It can always feel unsettling leaving your pet with someone but with Pam, we know she’s in the best hands. 10/5 stars if I could!
Brittany was terrific. We are very grateful that she was available and amenable to care for our pug Bruno at the very last minute due to a sudden change of plans as we were leaving town. Brittany immediately bonded with Bruno and it was clear that he was enjoying himself. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Jackie! She was caring, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. We especially appreciated how many updates and photos she sent each day, which gave us peace of mind and made it easy to see that our pup was in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!
We're so grateful to have found Jennifer! She has a great space for the puppies and she lets our Honey snuggle with her on couches and beds, which makes her feel right at home. Honey always looks like she's having a great time in the pictures, and she comes home happy and tuckered out.
We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care Liz provided for our sweet fur baby, Pepper! From start to finish, Liz was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. Her communication was fantastic, and we loved receiving regular updates and adorable pictures throughout Pepper’s stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Pepper was in such loving and capable hands while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Pepper gives Liz two paws up! 🐾❤️

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Gulfport can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gulfport home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gulfport.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gulfport. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Gulfport sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
