About: Animals are my life and I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. Seeing an animal happy and well cared for is one of my greatest achievements. I have adhered to strict feeding schedules, performed light grooming responsibilities, and am capable of administering medication as needed. You will return with a happy pet and a clean home free of any pet messes. Exercise is an important part of your pet's long term happiness and health, so I provide leashed walks, and play dates at various locations such as the beach, nature preserves, and parks. Friends and family have always relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and entertain their fur babies. Pet care is my full time profession, I'm available throughout the day, evenings, weekends, as well as holidays for all of your pet care needs. I live in a condo community and have a friendly Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix dog that loves to have visitors. We have a community beach that allows dogs on the beach, which is great for those dogs who love the water!
About: Hi! I've been taking care of furry friends since I was 11! I’m kept on my toes by my 1 year old mini dachshund, Koda, who I've raised since he was a baby. I also have experience with senior care through my little old man, Hawkeye. I'm a current law student and young professional and I would love to help others who need some pet lovin’ worked into their busy schedules! There's no puppy too energetic, sleepy, or playful!! My pup has separation anxiety so I am very familiar with pets sometimes needing a bit of extra care. When your furry friend is with me, they will be my #1 priority and receive all of my attention and love! I'm currently in law school, and working part time, and would love to work with you to find how we can work pet care into our schedules! I have a fully fenced back yard, and gates that can be used inside my home. I have a friendly, if not sometimes shy, mini dachshund that loves playing with smaller dogs especially or just sleeping on the couch all day! We’re both comfortable with and enjoy any level of play.
About: I’m an animal lover through and through! I love walking dogs, training pups, and relaxing with cats. I’ll treat your pets like family! I work from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM during the week, but I have a lunch break that I can dedicate to walks and home visits! I’m very available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding. I love long strolls, cuddles, and spending quality time with animals. Caring for pets is something that genuinely makes me happy, and I love making it part of my daily routine. Whether it’s getting outside for some fresh air, keeping your pet company, or giving them extra love and attention, I’m always happy to make time for them! I always respect each owner’s instructions, their pet’s routine, and the homes I visit. My goal is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands. I have a fenced in dog park within my apartment complex as well as other dog parks in surrounding areas if the pet were to stay with me! Additionally, growing up with a variety of pets has taught me patience, understanding, and a love for all animals, regardless of their species, personality, or individual needs. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Excellent care and attention! Nastasia is very loving and caring with my Chihuahua Rasta- and I absolutely love getting all the photo and video updates! I can tell my puppy is happy to have her come hang out with her!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so they have always just been a part of the family. I make all animals feel seen, loved, and cared for. I go out of my way to ensure the happiness of the animals and do what’s best for their wellbeing as if they are my own. My sister recently adopted a sweet little angel kitty Lola and I’ve helped my old roommates out with their cats as well! I recently just graduated from USF with a BFA in Theatre Arts, with that comes the free time and schedule as my choosing until I book a gig :) I have full time availability as of right now and would love you help you with your fur baby! I will not bring pets into my home but can definitely visit yours and your fur baby as needed! I look forward to meeting you and your fur child! • 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtim and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.

“Sidney was wonderful! She sent me a note and multiple pictures during her drop in visit, she did everything as we discussed and more, you could see how much Smoky enjoyed her time with him, I would not hesitate to recommend her and use her again.”
“My partner and I went on a last minute trip. We could not find boarding for our pup. We came on the app and began to message people. Armando responded within minutes. During his visits he was very patient and followed our requests. He sent us updates after every visit. He actually spent the 30mins with our dog on every visit. We are very pleased with his services.”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I am almost always around and will take the dogs out every 2 or so hours.

I have a very hard time leaving him anywhere (other's homes/kennels) worried that he won't get the proper care, so know that I will treat your furry friend as if he or she were my own.

About: I've been a pet owner/lover for as long as I can remember! I started off by volunteering my time in a Humane Society in Casa Grande, AZ when I was about 12 years old. From there, I eventually adopted my first dog - a chihuahua named Moose and I’ve been a dog parent ever since. I grew up adopting and fostering a few pound puppies in need of loving homes. I am lucky to have grown up in a dog loving home! I eventually got a job working at a kennel free dog daycare. There, I expanded my knowledge of dogs, caring for them and their owners, as well as living out one of my dream jobs. I did in-home visits, pickups, and stayed many holidays with my favorite furry friends. After leaving my job at daycare, I had a little free time and decided to pick up some independent dog walking and sitting jobs and eventually joined Rover. I’ve cared for dogs in Arizona, Oregon and now Florida. I am currently in St. Petersburg, FL where i live with my 4 dogs and partner. I have flexible availability and can usually make things work! I have extensive knowledge of dog behavior, care, administering medication, and have cared for dogs of all ages. I can't wait to meet some new furry friends! I’m currently a tattoo artist and have flexibility availability as I can make my own schedule. My partner works from home so he takes care of our pack while I’m able to go out and work! At my house - I have a fenced in yard, someone is almost always there, and we have 4 very friendly dogs of our who we take to our neighborhood dog park/bar a couple times a week so they do get along very well with others and are up to date on their vaccines. At my clients home - I’m able to stay as little Or as much is required.
About: I have had a dog for the first 15 years of my life. Also, being a triplet, I have dog-sit both my brother and sisters dogs as well as a lot of my other friends dogs over the past couple of years. I love watching dogs and can’t wait to watch your dog in the future! I work from home everyday so taking care of your pet won’t be an issue. I don't have a pet as well so I love having the company of an animal during the days and nights. I have no problem letting pets on couches or beds. I love to be petting pets whenever I can throughout the day and really enjoy the presence they bring. My golden retriever passed a couple years ago so I really like having the company of a pet. Maybe soon I’ll have one of my own!
“Hannah has taken care of my girls many times. She is consistently excellent and I am so happy to have her help. It is a huge relief to know that she is taking care of my pets and keeping an eye on my home when I travel for work. Thank you!!”

Amazing experience!! Skylar is professional and quick to respond. She is attentive and followed all the instructions I left for my dog Wrigley. She also kept me updated while I was away w plenty of photos. I can gone from vacation to a happy and well cared for pup!
Another great drop in visit from Dylan. Thank you so much for always being so flexible and accommodating, within reason, and so so comunitive. We are so glad we get to continue working with you and can't wait until your next visit taking such good care of our girls.
Lisa was absolutely AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She truly goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her enough! My pets instantly adored her, and it was so comforting knowing they were happy, loved, and well taken care of while I was away. Lisa is incredibly caring, attentive, reliable, and clearly has such a genuine love for animals. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and I came home to happy pets! I will definitely be booking with Lisa again. If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further! 🐾❤️
Sam was so amazing with my girls, if I could leave more than 5 stars I would! She is timely, accommodated all normal routines, does well with my older dog who needs extra care and medications, and sent me so many updates it truly felt like my babies were in the best care! If anyone is like me who is normally anxious leaving their pets with someone new or unfamiliar, fear not! Sam will give your babies plenty of love and attention and it will show! I can’t even being to express my gratitude! Highly recommend!
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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gulfport is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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 6,645 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Gulfport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
