“Pepper's 1st overnight...she was shy at first but couldn't resist Brittany and Steve's belly rubs. Their home and personalities provided calm for my skittish pup. I would highly recommend this loving couple.”
“Jeff’s stay with Tracey and Ziggy were fantastic. I cannot thank her enough for taking great care of Jeff, sending updates, and being flexible! We had a meet and greet prior to Jeff’s stay, and it went swimmingly! Tracey was cautious and gave us warnings for Ziggy’s excitement, but Jeff is the same way. So, I was not worried one bit but appreciated the warning. She was accommodating to Jeff’s exploration of her home and messy drinking. She asked great questions specifically about food since Jeff stayed with her over Thanksgiving. As a fellow dog mom, i felt reassured! On the day that I dropped off Jeff, I had to have someone else drop him off and Tracey was extremely flexible with that as well as timing. I shared a note with general instructions and information for Jeff. Daily, she would text me with updates from Jeff’s POV which i thought was adorable! Pick up was also a breeze even though I wasn’t there. I normally have to follow up with sitters to ask if Jeff needs his evening feed, but before I could get to it, Tracey texted me! It’s the little things that count. Tracey went above and beyond my expectations! Jeff will definitely be back to stay with her in the future. 10/10 would recommend.”
“I couldn't sing higher praises of Rachel! Rachel's about me is exactly who Rachel is. A respectful, humble, and down to earth person with a deep reverence for animals and their pet parents. I had to go out of town on a family emergency, and Rachel generously accommodated me into her schedule. This is the first time that I have ever left my fur child outside of family Care, so I was naturally nervous. At the meet and greet I was instantly put at ease and the environment she creates for the pets she watches is exactly the way that I would keep my house. I felt put at ease talking to Rachel and had full confidence leaving my dog with her. Rachel's neighbors even had high praises of Rachel of how kind she is, and how much she loves animals! She took great care of my fur child, and even spoiled her more than I do! Daily walks, play time, letting my dog pick her favorite spot to take her daily naps, giving her allergy medicine and a lot of love! She went absolutely above and beyond my expectations. My dog got in the car and decided Thank you so much Rachel, not only for loving my fur baby as much as I do, but also for taking a part of the stress of this trip away! You are my definite go to for watching my dog, and my dog has her new favorite friend!”
“Grace was an amazing sitter! Our girls can be a handful and she made us feel at ease and confident she had everything handled. She was very communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, so kind, and was overall a breath of fresh air to work with! We will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you again! :)”
“I felt very secure with Linda taking care of my dog over the weekend. My dog immediately took to her and was happy and affectionate towards her when he returned also. I know he got a lot of snuggle time which he needed.”
“We knew from the meet & greet our pups would be in great hands, staying with Jennifer. She sent us photo updates throughout their weekend stay, and we were able to see all the fun they were having while staying with her. We truly appreciated knowing our dogs were happy and comfortable while we were away. I would highly recommend Jennifer, and we will be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Beverly is a wonderful dog sitter! Our little Rosie was clearly right at home with her, right away. We could tell Rosie felt very comfortable with Beverly, as she has a way of making dogs feel safe and calm. We are truly grateful for Beverly's kind and gentle way of caring for little dogs like ours - she is someone you can absolutely trust to love your fur baby as her own! Thank you so much Beverly! :)”
“This was our first time to use Rover and we were nervous about leaving our senior dog with someone new but once we met Cathy and introduced her to Baby, we knew he would love his stay with her! Cathy is a very caring individual who asked lots of questions so she could understand how to best care for Baby. Being that he’s a senior dog, this was important to us. She sent pictures and updates the entire week and Baby seemed to feel right at home. We would highly recommend Cathy and plan to ask her to pet sit for us again in the future!”
“Will was awesome! Took the best care of my senior dog and sent lots of pictures! It was nice knowing while we were away Sadie was being taken care of so well. She had a blast. Highly recommend!!!”
“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.”
“Amy was wonderful. She kept me updated on my pup during my vacation, which did alleviate stress from me being that this was my first time leaving him with anyone else. Thanks again. I’ll definitely be returning my pup to see you soon!”

I loved the daily updates and pictures she sent. As a bonus her dog is super friendly and it was nice knowing my dog had a good friend to hang out with”
“AJ did an amazing job taking care of my sweet angel, Luna. Before her stay, we met at a park so she could get comfortable with him, and I really appreciated that he took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand. When I dropped her off, Luna immediately felt at ease, especially with all the toys he had ready for her. She absolutely loved the dog obstacle course he put together in the courtyard! Throughout my vacation, AJ kept me updated with photos and regular check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. It truly felt like he cared for Luna as if she were his own. I highly recommend AJ to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter.”

“I had to find a pet sitter on short notice. Teddy, Cooper and I were very impressed with Christina's large outdoor space, pool, lanai and comfy spacious home completely set up to make dogs feel welcome and comfortable. Christina is very experienced with dogs including rescues. Both my dogs had a great time with Christina and her dogs. They had enough space, activities, play time and made new friends. Its very much a retreat for dogs. They are looking forward to their next stay.”
“Armando recently watched my beloved dog Dot. He is so loving and caring, he gave her a loving home away from home. He sent pictures, updates, and my phone calls. I am highly recommending Armando as a caring, loving dog sitter, thank you Armando.”

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! 🐾❤️
Kelly was absolutely amazing with my golden retriever, Leia\! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving Leia in her care\. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs\. Kelly sent me lots of photos and videos throughout Leia’s stay, which I absolutely loved and really put my mind at ease\. Leia looked so happy and relaxed, and I could tell she was being very well cared for\. Kelly was also wonderful to work with , reliable, easy to communicate with, and incredibly flexible\. Finding someone you completely trust with your dog is such a great feeling, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave Leia with Kelly again\. I highly recommend her and feel very lucky to have found her\!
Joli was amazing with Brann. She contacted me every day on how he was and what he had been doing that day. She sent great pictures and let me know how much she and her family enjoyed his company. There was never any doubt in my mind that Brann was in safe and caring hands, even with his special needs. I will absolutely be contacting her again.
Briannon took great care of Jimin during his 5 nights stay. She is definitely the best you can get for dog care - communicative caring and just made everything super easy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gulfport is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $61 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 3,130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gulfport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
