“Molly was amazing with my 12-week old puppy! Sent tons of pic/video updates, administered meds including foam when he was itching. She had her sweet Olive girl + other pups during the stay - Molly actively supervised play, had separate feedings, and ensured there was no resource guarding which put my mind at such ease. Tribe will only to Molly’s from now on!!”

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.
Absolutely amazing. I could not recommend her more. I was so pleasantly surprised at the updates and the clear content and happiness on my dog’s face being there. I was almost worried that she wouldn’t come home with me and wanted to stay there. Molly is amazing. I am definitely using her again. I could not recommend her more beautiful backyard to play Clearly a loving house. With the most amazing baby girl of her own that is so sweet and loving that I believe my Bella wanted to take her home with us. Molly is a rare find and clearly a very loving person.
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! :)
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. 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
Michelle was awesome! She was very attentive to Slater, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and had everything he needed while we were away. I loved getting her daily updates and knowing our dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their pup!
Claire was amazing! She sent regular photo updates and detailed notes throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kona was happy and relaxed I picked him up. I’m glad he had another dog to play with. I will definitely book with Claire again!
William and his family were absolutely wonderful with Tequila during his two-week stay! I was nervous about leaving him for that long since he’s still young, but they all made me feel so much more comfortable knowing he was being well cared for. His family was incredibly welcoming and really made Tequila part of their household while he was there. William kept me updated throughout the trip with messages and pictures, and was always responsive whenever I checked in. Tequila came home happy, healthy, and clearly very comfortable with everyone. I’m so grateful to William and his entire family for the time, patience, and care they gave my boy. I would absolutely trust them with Tequila again! 🤍
Kylee was amazing. My dog can be timid and have separation anxiety when she's away from me, but Kylee gave her the best vacation. She kept us updated and communication was great. Our dog had a great time with her and absolutely adored her. I highly Kylee for your dog sitter. We I'll definitely use her again - thank you!
Laurie is a one of a kind boarder/sitter❤️. There will never be another like her! She took care of Jersey like he was one of her own. I appreciate Laurie & her husband for loving Jersey. We are going to miss you so much since we are moving out of state. Godspeed 💜🐾
Peggy was wonderful! We felt completely comfortable leaving Penny with her, and we really appreciated that she sent us pictures every day. It was so nice getting those little updates while we were away and knowing Penny was happy and being well cared for. We would absolutely book with Peggy again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gulfport on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,101 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.
