“Colleen was great w/ Sheba! She was very responsive to messages and questions, and communicates in a very clear style. I got really cute and thoughtful photos showcasing Sheba eating and general antics. I'm pretty sure she misses Colleen more now, than me when i go away. i will def work with her again.”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life (born and raised on my family farm in Pennsylvania). My family has always had a dog and as an adult, I’ve had 4 Golden Retrievers. I absolutely love dogs. :) I am recently retired from the tech industry so my schedule can be very accommodating. I am available as early as 8am and up to 7pm. When I meet any new animal, I always allow them to greet me when they are ready. I will sit on the floor and allow them to feel comfortable before I approach them.
“Devin was awesome! He was recommended by a friend and did such a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away. He provides detailed updates at every visit and lots of photos which we really appreciated. Thank you, Devin!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so they have always just been a part of the family. I recently adopted my sweet perfect angel kitty Lola and helped my old roomates out with their cats so I love them as well. I am a law student so I have 2-3 hour classes periodically throughout the week. I also volunteer as a Guardian Ad Litem and with gulf coast legal services so sometimes I have those obligations as well. 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
“Amy watched over our pups for two straight weeks while we were away visiting family. She routinely went out of her way to make sure they were happy and healthy (even visiting them a little more when there were thunderstorms!) and stayed in communication with me through everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to give us piece of mind that our babies were cared for ❤️”
“Last minute notice to Laurie and she was able to watch Coco. Laurie was loving, kind and happy to spend time with her. She communicated and made me feel super at ease that Coco was ok without me. I was able to relax and enjoy my quick overnight away! Very thankful for Laurie! Will recommend her to many friends and use her again in the future.”
“Thomas was fantastic!! He took great care of our Oakley on short notice. He was super flexible with the holidays and helped relieve so much stress for us! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares for their pet as much as their own!!”
About: I’ve always been the go-to person in my family and friend groups to rely on to watch and care for cats and dogs of all sizes for years! I’m super passionate about animals and love being able to provide pet parents with the relief knowing their babies are well taken care of. I currently go to school in the mornings, and work part time but I’m usually free weekdays after 1 pm and all day weekends for visits. I’m available for overnight stays any day. I’m unable to care for pets in my home, but I will gladly come to yours where they feel their safest to provide care and company for them.
“Samantha is amazing. My cat Marilyn was so happy and comfortable, which means everything to me. This was a last-minute booking and she really helped me out in a pinch. I would absolutely book with her again.”
About: My work allows me to work from home and I also leave the house to meet with clients out in my community (as a Real Estate Advisor) which allows me the flexibility to care for pets through the day. We are up at 5am and generally go to bed around 10pm. I am self employed (Real Estate Agent) so I have a flexible schedule and work from home and when I leave I am away from home for about 2-4 hours. I have a quiet home in a quiet safe community. I keep busy at home throughout the day with working on the computer to doing basic household chores and some gardening so your dog will stay stimulated and keep active. And there’s plenty of rest and relaxation too! SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT: I offer both EXCLUSIVE boarding starting at $60/night and MULTI-family boarding starting at $35/night - your choice depending on your dogs comfort level with other dogs. If you choose EXCLUSIVE Boarding or Daycare, your dog/dogs will the only dogs in my home when they stay. I have a nice fenced in backyard. And I NEVER LEAVE YOUR DOGS OUTSIDE ALONE OR UNATTENDED. If your dog is accustomed to going to kennels or doggy day care then I also offer a reduced rate for MULTI-FAMILY BOARDING in which your dog(s) could be with dogs from other homes, depending on your dogs’ temperament and disposition. I DO NOT MIX AGGRESSIVE DOGS TOGETHER. I know my regular clients very well and understand which dogs may or may not be a good fit for each other. If your dog likes being crated at night or when I leave the house , I do have crates. Just let me know your preference and if your dog has any anxiety or fears. Tell us how you like your dog cared for and we will make accommodations accordingly! I live in a quiet neighborhood so I can also take your dog for a stroll or an active walk (weather permitting). In the middle of summertime I am very careful so as not to overheat your pup! I am self employed and leave the house from time to time (real estate agent) so some days I’m home all day and other times I’m gone for about 2-4 hours.
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!
About: I’ve spent my life caring for animals of all kinds, including horses, rabbits, cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have four cats and experience caring for pets of all ages and with medical needs. I’m comfortable giving oral medications and injections, and I’ve cared for cats with complex conditions, including FIP, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), asthma, allergies, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism. In Los Angeles, I worked with local cat rescues, and earlier this year I fostered a five-week-old puppy full-time for three months before helping him find a wonderful forever home. One of my own cats was diagnosed with FIP, and I never gave up on her. After that, I helped the owners of two other cats with FIP by administering their injections and supporting them through treatment, and both cats survived. I owned my horse from 2001 until she passed away at 25 years old in 2024, which taught me a lifetime of responsibility and commitment. My own cats have traveled to 16 states with me, and I love taking pets on walks, hikes, and safe adventures. Because I work remotely, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m reliable, patient, and would do anything for animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the day. My own pets are my top priority, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s playing, going for walks, giving medications, or simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, making sure your pet is fed, exercised, played with, cuddled (if they enjoy it), and given plenty of attention. I’ll clean litter boxes for cats, take dogs on walks, and administer medications if needed. I know how important peace of mind is, so I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos while you’re away. I’m also very understanding of anxious pet parents, so you’re always welcome to message me with questions or check in at any time. If you have pet cameras in your home, I’m completely comfortable with that too. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I began pet sitting as a freshman in high school, alongside nannying and babysitting. In this time, I have taken care of birds, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and chickens. I am currently a senior at Florida State University studying Criminology. As I am almost done with my undergraduate degree, I only have to go to class twice a week. I am available to pet sit pretty much every day of the week and am able to stay at the home with your pet if needed. As I have my own pets at home, as well as the rest of my family, I do not offer petsitting out of my home. However, I am available in most areas of Tallahassee, and am willing to stay overnight with your pet if needed (at no additional fee from my daily rate).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
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! 🐾❤️
Brittany was absolutely amazing! I have both a dog and a cat, and she took such great care of them. She arrived on time for every single check-in and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend with tons of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. On the last night, my AC unexpectedly went out, and Brittany immediately alerted me. She was incredibly helpful and was even able to get it turned back on for me. She also showed so much care and concern for my dog by turning on a fan and giving her some ice water since the house had gotten a little warm. Brittany was so kind, considerate, reliable, and attentive to both of my pets. She truly went above and beyond. She is hands down the best Rover sitter I’ve had, and I would absolutely use her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home!
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!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gulfport. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
