“They are awesome! Sent photos and updates and really gave my puppy TLC. Let her sleep with them, they kept her busy, took her on walks. She was perfectly comfortable with them and looked great and fed amd clean when I picked her up. She's not even 6 months old so I was a nervous mommy, and they did a great job!”
“We love Claire from the first moment we meet her! We felt that we are leaving our little puppy in good hands!

It looked like our puppy had so much fun with Claire and her dog and we will definitely use her service again!”
“We left our two dogs with Jane for a few days for boarding, and we had a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, everything felt easy and trustworthy. She kept us updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. When we picked them up, they were in great spirits and settled back home comfortably, which says a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and attention she gave them, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring place for their pets!”

They sent the best pictures, took him on park outing and were so flexible and kind. I really couldn’t have asked for a better fit. I’m relieved to know Fergus has a safe place to land when I travel. Thank you guys again!”
“We had never been away from Buck for two weeks before, but we didn’t worry because he was in the best possible hands with Leigh.

I’m so grateful to have found Leigh and would recommend her without hesitation.”

Pete area and thrilled we have found the perfect sitter for our pups! You won’t regret booking with Dian.”
“Highly recommend Jaime to watch your dog and/or visit your cat while away! I was fortunate enough to find Jaime for our most recent trip to watch our dog Kodi (13 Year Old Lab/Aussie Mix) and to visit our cat Louis (6 Year Old Bengal) during our trip. Jaime was very responsive, sent updates, and is a knowledgeable/aware sitter. Her home is great for pets as well. Kodi seemed to have a great time with her and we’ll look forward to having her stay again.”
“Amy was great, my dog felt very comfortable at her house and got along with her dog perfectly. My dog can be anxious and have trouble eating when we leave but we had absolutely no issues since she had one on one with her. Amy even had no problem keeping her an extra day when our flight was delayed. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you Amy!!”
“My dog Piper generally has a lot of anxiety so I was worried how she would be when I left her. But Piper loved being with Francesca! Piper was content when I picked up her up at the end of her stay. I could tell that she was well taken care of and given lots of TLC. Thank you Francesca! 😊😊😊”
“Laurie was absolutely wonderful with our Border Collie puppy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. She has two amazing dogs of her own, and it was clear right away that all of the dogs got along beautifully, which gave us so much peace of mind. Laurie kept us consistently updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which we truly cherished—especially since this was our first longer time away from our dog. Her communication alone made the entire experience stress-free. Her backyard is fantastic, with a high, secure fence that our dog absolutely loved. It was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her home. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the care and attention Laurie provided. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be reaching out again anytime we plan to travel. Highly, highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
Our dog Griffin is an older, golden-doodle. 17 years old. William provided the comfort and care w we’re looking for in a provider. He is an excellent communicator… fast responses and considerations. His home is clean and comfortable. We will happily use him again.
Ruthie and her husband were incredibly kind and took such great care of our Benny. They kept him active, happy, and well loved throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the frequent photos and updates, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away knowing he was in such good hands. We would happily trust them with Benny again!
my past dog sitter moved away and Savannah was able to help me with a last minute booking, she was incredibly caring and made sure to send me lots of pictures and updates of my baby! diego seemed really sad to leave her which is always a good sign! i will definitely be using her services again!
I just moved to St. Pete and am very thankful to have found Lauren so last-minute when a work trip popped up! Communication and scheduling were very easy. She asked questions about Casey's care/routinr and made me feel very comfortable leaving her. I also got daily pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend Lauren and will be rebooking for sure!
Jane and Dan were absolutely amazing with our two dogs again. This is our second time using them and they honestly treat them like their own. It is such a relief to know that we can go out of town now and not have to worry. We were previously using a local big name boarding facility and had some bad experiences. The dogs are so happy at Jane and Dan's,l and it is like being at a home away from home where they get constant care, cuddles, kisses and playtime, and we get lots of updates and pictures.
Amy was amazing! She met us for an introduction on relatively short notice and made us feel at ease from the very beginning. Our dog is an old lady with a few personality quirks due to her age and she never made her out to be a burden in anyway. She fulfilled all of our expectations and made us feel comfortable that our girl was getting the same love she would at home. We will definitely be using her again!
Amy was a great sitter for our dog, Theo, while we were away on vacation! She was easy to work with, sent great photos and updates, and even bought Theo a ball that she sent him home with. He has played with that ball daily! Her dog and Theo got along well too. We will definitely consider her again for our future needs. We're happy to have found her!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Gulfport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gulfport on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,133 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Gulfport sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Gulfport landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
