“Marlene does an amazing job making sure our dog is comfortable and happy! She really goes above and beyond to help calm him down and soothe him since he can be very anxious around new people. We highly recommend her services!”
About: Growing up with dogs, I love all dogs like my own! Playtime is my favorite time of the day and my large backyard is the perfect place for any breed and size. 🦴 I am home the majority of the day, so your pup will get all the love and attention their heart desires. 🐶 I cared and provided medical care for my diabetic dog with back leg paralysis for 10 years so I have experience with administering medication and attending to any medical needs! 🐾 Wake up & let’s go for a 1 mile walk! 10K steps! A little snoozing time afterwards, then another walk to the park and let’s play fetch! Afterwards dinner and then we’re watchin tv! I love sending photos!! I’ll happily send you pics coming and going. I always over-communicate & will do whatever required to make owners feel secure.
“It was my first time booking through Rover, and thanks to Amaya this will now be my go-to. Baxter is usually very tentative around strangers, he's very timid and definitely fears the unknown, but Amaya was so great with him. She's patient and knew exactly how to entice him to warm up quickly. Baxter came home in the best mood. Amaya showed up on time and she was super sweet. Definitely will book again!!”
“Colby is so communicative! His initial response to my inquiry was timely and I love how he keeps me posted on how Roy’s walk went. He is reliable and friendly. Roy really enjoys his company!”
“Ali is AMAZING! She was super flexible when I made schedule changes last minute and loved on my pups so well! She was very communicative and sent photos and videos with updates. I had no fears having Ali come over and take my crazy dogs for a walk while I was away at work. I will definitely be rebooking, thanks again Ali!!”

About: Hi there! While I'm new to the St. Petersburg area, I’m not new to caring for pets, specifically dogs. I've cared for my own dogs since high school, and have experience with many breeds while working at a dog kennel and specialty pet food shop. I also have experience caring for pets of friends and family when their people are away. I enjoy long walks with my own dogs, rain or shine, and look forward to sharing those with your furry friend as well. My backseat is equipped with a seat cover, so let's hit the road! While I have experience with many breeds, I prefer working with small to medium breeds. I work full-time outside of Rover, so my availability fills up quickly. Let me know if you think we'd be a great fit! You can find me outside just after sunrise walking my dogs around the block, and again at sunset throwing the ball with them in the backyard. When caring for your pet, I engage them in their favorite activities, whether it's playing catch, walking, or solving puzzles. I'll keep you updated with photos and videos, so you always know your dog is happy. I’m experienced in handling special needs like feeding schedules and medication. My goal is to make your pet feel at home!

My sister recently adopted a sweet little angel kitty Lola and I’ve helped my old roommates out with their cats 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! • 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.

About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers raising Pugs, and I’ve since had an English Bulldog and now a Frenchie of my own. I have a special place in my heart for smush-faced breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs, but all pups are welcome! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and will make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I work from home during the week, which means your pup won’t spend the day alone while staying with me. I have a large backyard for play and plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. My dog loves to spend the day napping in my bed. He’s pretty docile and lazy during the day when he wants to be. However he will always play host and entertain guests to fit their needs. I have a large backyard where they can roam and play.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
Dan has been incredibly kind and patient with our pitty, who can be wary of strangers. He respects our dog’s boundaries and takes the time to listen when we explain his triggers and needs. Dan is also accommodating and quick to respond! We look forward to booking with him whenever we go out of town. Highly recommend!
Dylan is fantastic! He took our energetic Honey out for an hour walk everyday for 2 weeks, sometimes even to the beach! Honey looked forward to her new friend everyday and came back happy and tired. Dylan is communicative, dependable and thoughtful about his approach. Highly recommend!
I can't recommend Chloe enough. She's new to walking Simba, but she already went above and beyond — I forgot to schedule her for a day I was working, and she made time to fit Simba in anyway, even though it wasn't planned. That kind of reliability and care means everything, especially with a new walker. So glad I found her on Rover — Simba's in great hands."
Great experience! She took great care of my dog and was very considerate throughout the walk. I especially appreciated that she checked with me to make sure my dog was comfortable walking the full 30 minutes rather than just assuming. Would definitely recommend her!
Devin & Kylie were great. Our older dog who can’t hear, can’t see very well and usually doesn’t like strangers did really well with Devin &Kylie. They took Precious for 3 walks per day and fed her AM and PM. I was really apprehensive at first but would recommend them and use Devin & Kylie again.
Michael was honestly amazing, I contacted him a little bit last minute due to a work trip but he happily accepted and made time to come see the dogs beforehand and they loved him from the start. They aren’t small dogs, and he had zero problem handling either one and dealing with the them. He was so awesome with updates and photos throughout the whole week it helped me feel so relaxed and at ease. The pups looked incredibly happy in every photo and in every walk and gave them everything they needed from a food and supplement stand point which was really awesome. I really appreciated everything Michael did for us he was a rock star!
I’m so glad we found such an incredible dog sitter! Our pup was clearly spoiled and living his best life while we were away. The daily updates meant so much and gave us total peace of mind. Mia truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gulfport. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
