About: I have been happily adopting animals into my family home since 2005! That comes with hands on experience with training, quality care, and an extreme love for pets and animals! I have been pet-sitting for years, whenever I can add it to my schedule it becomes a priority! I am a recent graduate from Pennsylvania State University! I studied Psychology and Neuroscience, and I moved to Florida to work for a year before returning to graduate school. I would be available for drop-in visits during the week in the mornings, and in the evenings I have open availability! I have experience with training, and handling animals that require extra care and comfort! I aim to not only make your animal(s) enjoy our time together, but for you as the owner to have a positive experience as well!
About: I have experience in dog training with 3 rescue pups (and 2 cats) of my own, so a bit of chaos is no stranger to me ;) I’ve made it my life’s mission to give animals the best lives they can, and I understand that their time on Earth with us is limited. I want to make sure that your pet is in the best hands while you’re away and give them the care they deserve❤️ I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, and before I became a dog trainer, I worked at a kennel, daycare, and boarding facility. In fact- I’m going to college to study animal behavior now in Saint Petersburg, FL! Your four-legged child is my top priority, and I’m very flexible to meet their needs because every animal is different! I work as a part time dog trainer, and I am currently going to college to study animal behavior and psychology. I have two dogs, three cats, and two bunnies of my own, so it's safe to say I am more than equipped to handle anything at this point!! Animals are my entire world, and my dream is to open my own rescue one day. I'd love to help your fur babies while you're away to make them feel comfortable and loved:) I recognize that every animal is different, so I want to work with you to make sure your pet is getting the care best suited for them. I have worked with dogs of all backgrounds, and understand that needs are different for everyone. I will make sure they are being cared for in the most appropriate way for them, and will communicate with you to make sure their needs (and yours) are met!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Gulfport is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 6,740 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gulfport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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 Gulfport. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Gulfport after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gulfport. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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. 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.
