“Brittany took such great care of our 8 month old puppy Peach. She sent us pictures and updates every day, and I truly felt like my baby was being taken care of just the way I wanted. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Claire is amazing ! This was our first time using Rover and we picked a winner all around. I received daily updates with pictures of Gaby and Keyser! Gaby was well taken care of and was treated like she was,at home while we were away. I would highly recommend Claire as she will certainly be our Rover choice again”
“We went on a week long cruise, and Leigh took amazing care of our two pups. They had an absolute blast! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with pictures while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Leigh and family, for taking such wonderful care of our babies!”
“Elisa always takes extra special care of our dog, Maizy. I feel at ease leaving her with Elisa because I know she is going to make Maizy right at home with her dogs. I highly recommend booking your pup’s next stay with Elisa!”
“Shadow loves spending time with Billy. He’s always well taken care of. I appreciate how detailed Billy’s reports are- he lets me know about my Shadow’s mood, eating habits, how he’s settling in, etc. Although I miss my Shadow when I have to travel out of town, I know he will be in great hands living the retired life with Billy and enjoying a yard to roam around in. I’d book Billy again for long trips!”

“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!!”
“We're so glad we found Lauren! She and her husband were so gracious and accommodating. We got many photos throughout the stay which was so nice! Ella had the best time playing with other dogs. She was completely tuckered out on the way home. We will definitely book again!”
“I loved that when we went to the meet-and-greet, Grace went straight to the floor to caress Arena. From the beginning, she was warm and professional. She has a lovely home, and she made us feel welcome. I would not hesitate to bring my puppy back to her, and I hope she is available next time we need boarding services for our sweet Arena.”

“I can’t stress enough how stress-free my trip was knowing Jane and her partner were taking such good care of my girls. I knew they were going to be treated like family and loved on the entire time I was gone. Jane provided updates and videos I was so happy knowing they were happy girls living the beach life as if they were their own. They were excited to see me, but I could tell they felt right at home and would love to stay hunting lizards and squirrels forever. 100% would book with them again.”

William is the absolute BEST sitter! He takes great care of my labradoodle and I always know he’s in great hands while I’m out of town. My boy is high energy and needs LOTS of love and he gets everything he needs and more with William! William is always so flexible with our timing and is always willing to accommodate to our needs if plans change. He always updates us with pictures and messages with how our boy is doing. I am so happy I found such a wonderful person that I can trust with my baby!
Keeley was absolutely amazing with Taco! She watched him for a week, and Jay and I loved all the adorable pictures she sent. Leaving him behind is always the hardest part of traveling, but seeing how happy and well cared for he was gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, patient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire stay. We’re so grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough. We can’t wait to book with her again!
We had an amazing experience and couldn’t be more grateful! We found ourselves in a last-minute bind and were incredibly nervous about leaving our fur baby with a sitter for the first time. From the moment we reached out, Joshua was responsive, kind, and so accommodating to our last-minute boarding needs, which immediately helped put us at ease. The setup was welcoming and clearly designed with the dogs’ comfort and safety in mind. One of our favorite parts was receiving pictures and updates throughout our dog’s stay. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our fur baby was gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious Joshua genuinely care about the animals he looks after, and that level of care made all the difference. We are so thankful for the excellent communication, flexibility, and love showed our fur baby. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate place to board their dog!
Savannah took good care of Jumo. She is very knowledgeable, caring and loving towards dogs as Jumo seemed to be very accepting and comfortable — no nervousness or behavior problems reported. Out of town, I got pictures and reports of how Jumo was doing which made me feel at ease and comfortable that Jumo was being well cared for. I would recommend Savannah to anyone who needs to board their dog. 🙂
Mark is an angel! My pup, Fernie, is a 17 year old maltese and I had to go on a mandatory work trip for the week. I just moved to the area and so happy I found Mark on this app. He was very caring, asked specific questions about how to care for Fernie. He didn't have any other pets in his home, which was very nice since Fernie doesn't move around so well. Mark sent me a picture every day of Fernie. He went to the store to buy her some diaper pads, he gave her meds to help with her anxiety. Mark is truly special and if I ever have sitter needs in the future, I will definitely be contacting him.
Jennifer and her family treated my two goldendoodles like they were part of her own family. The whole family loved and enjoyed them, and Jennifer sent me wonderful updates and photos, so I never worried the whole week we were gone from them. This was such a positive experience for my dogs and me. You could see how happy they were in all of their photos. Jennifer was pleasant and patient and such a great communicator. I appreciated the peace and confidence of our doodles being in her care and we will definitely be utilizing her professional services again in the future.

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.
