About: I am available to care for your animals in your own home. I have many references of house sitting, as that is my speciality. I have experience with short stays of house sitting and have stayed lengthy times as long as five week stints. I have had animals my entire life since I was a little girl, and love being able to take care of animals when their owners leave for travel. I usually watch dogs and cats but also have experience with horses and reptiles. I treat your animals like I do my own, lots of snuggles, brushing and care. I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies and if they require medication I can administer that no problem. Please reach out with any questions!
“Cohlee really saved us in a last minute request to come and take care of my two boys multiple times over the weekend. I received great communication, photos, and confirmation the dogs were eating. My mind was at ease and I was able to enjoy a last minute vacation because of Cohlee!!!”
“Mary is super friendly and respectful. Our dog adores her and can't wait to see her. She always shows up at the agreed time and contacts us if there is a problem. The pictures she sends us are adorable and we always feel assured our dog is well cared for. I highly recommend her (although I'd like to keep her a secret lol).”
“Thank you, Amy, for dropping in on Rasta. He was fed, let outside, and in the presence of good company! 🤗 Every time I tell him she will be checking in, he definitely gets excited, which helps me feel less guilty about not being with him for extending periods of time. 🥲”
“Rachel was fantastic and I came back to my place looking just as good as I left it. She mastered giving my diabetic cat insulin injections and both cats were in good spirits.”
“Thomas was amazing. When he initially came to meet our dog they had an instant connection. Throughout the process, I was updated with photos and messages on how things were going. I will definitely book with Thomas again!”
“I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! From the moment we first reached out, her responsiveness was exceptional. Appointment requests were always answered within minutes, making scheduling incredibly easy and stress-free. One of our biggest concerns was having someone we could truly trust in our home—and this sitter exceeds all expectations. She respected our space, kept everything tidy, and we always felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such capable and reliable hands. What truly sets Tessa apart is her remarkable attentiveness to our dog’s special needs. Our aging Weimaraner has a unique diet and medication schedule and some specific behavioral quirks, but Tessa took the time to learn every detail and made sure our dog felt happy and safe. We regularly received thoughtful updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while away. If you’re searching for a quick-to-respond, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter, look no further. Our experience has been nothing short of outstanding!”
“Amanda was fantastic with our cat and rolling with some last minute changes for the visits. Our cat loved her and we felt very comfortable with her watching him and our place while we were out of the country. She’s a true animal lover and treats the pets under her care like her own. Thank you, Amanda!!! Highly recommend 🙂”
“This is our second time with Amy and she was just as amazing as the first time! My flight was canceled and we ending up needed extra care for our dog and Amy was so communicative and responsive to this last minute change! Thanks again”

“Excellent choice for our Kitty. Lacey did daily drop in visits while we were gone and sent daily reports and photos. Our Kitty was well taken care of. Highly recommend Lacey.”
“The pets love Mary Anna and she did a great job. She went beyond my basic request to just let the dogs out by giving the pets extra attention and play time. Will be using her again!”
“Katy took care of my three dogs for the weekend while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and kept me updated with photos and notes about how they did throughout the weekend. The dogs were so happy and well cared for! It was comforting to know my pups were in great hands while I was away. Thank you, Katy! We look forward to seeing you again :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
Our 7-year-old American Bulldog has always been a challenge to find care for. Until now, the only person we trusted to watch him was my brother-in-law. Our dog gets protective and anxious when we leave, and because of his size, many people are understandably hesitant to come into our home without us there. Dan went above and beyond by taking the time to meet our dog several times before our trip and doing a few trial visits to build trust. His patience, kindness, and calm demeanor made all the difference, and he ended up being the perfect fit for our pup. Knowing we had someone we could truly rely on gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We no longer have to stress about leaving town, and that is priceless. Dan is amazing, and we couldn't recommend him more highly. We can't wait to use his services again in the future!
Alison was so awesome! My dogs absolutely loved her and when I came home from my trip I could tell they really enjoyed their time with her while I was away. Alison was especially considerate with my senior dachshund who I was quite nervous to leave, but her separation anxiety was minimal thanks to all the love she got from Alison! Alison was great with juggling the needs of her along with my high energy 4 year old Irish setter. We will definitely be repeat clients!
Sara did a great job with our drop-in visits. I accidentally gave her the wrong lockbox code. She stayed patient and figured it out. Whew! Really impressive! She was punctual, communicative, and easy to work with throughout. I’d definitely recommend her and would book again.
Heather visited with Ruby before and were friends from the beginning. She was on time at the agreed hours and took care of Ruby with no issues. I found her to be friendly, reliable and pampering towards Ruby. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Ruby anytime. Thanks Heather, till next time!
Anika is hands down the best Rover sitter my fur kids have ever had. We all will miss her as we are moving out of state. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s responsive, reliable, communicative and writes the best report cards- I feel like I’m really caught up on the animals with her in charge. If you’re looking for a good sitter look no further!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gulfport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gulfport choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Gulfport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
