About: Both me and my husband have owned all sorts of pets through our lives, growing up with countless dogs, cats, birds, horses and anything else in between. We both love the outdoors and have flexible schedules so someone is always home to play and keep watch. Currently I am working from home! Because we love to travel we don’t currently have our own fur babies to love so we would love to get to spoil yours with all the love and attention we have! We are patient and understanding to every animals unique needs, including how short, long and often they need to be walked. How much attention they need or if they have separation anxiety from missing their owner. We would love to be their home away from home! I’m currently working from home so there is always someone available to watch and love your pups! My husband will also be here in mornings and evenings to help share some of the love! We live in Gulfport in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. We love to go on strolls and enjoy the outdoors! Depending on what your pup needs we are able to accommodate. We also have a fenced in backyard for the pups who might not be able to walk long distances.
“It was a great pleasure meeting Marlene. She asked a lot of questions about my dogs on our first meet and greet. To which I thought was very professional and very compassionate. Thank goodness I found a great dog walker.”
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.
“Devin did amazing with my two doodles! He left great notes about their walks and took a bunch of pictures to keep me updated. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Will definitely be using him again, they had a blast and loved him!”
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!
About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! 🤍 I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in loving, capable hands while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, including managing multiple dogs in one household and following individualized routines and medication schedules. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize communication, consistency, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work remotely full-time, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I love staying active, getting outside for walks, and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. I’m especially available on weekends and can coordinate weekday visits around my work schedule. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs to make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I have experience caring for pets in their own homes, including extended house sits and caring for multiple dogs at once. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to maintain their usual routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any specific care instructions. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s individual needs, and always happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in loving, responsible hands! 🤍
“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, I'm Andrea! 🐾 I'm a reliable and caring dog lover in the Gulfport area. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to give your pup lots of attention, love, and exercise! I’ve been happily married for over 25 years, and our family wouldn’t be complete without our adorable and rambunctious mini Aussiedoodle, Ollie. 🐶 I love to walk, walk, walk! Whether your dog is big or small, young or old, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’ll also send you updates and photos during our time together so you can relax knowing your pup is in great hands. For dog-sitting, we have a large fenced-in yard with plenty of room to enjoy some outdoor time. I’m excited to meet your furry companion! ❤️ If you have any questions or special requests, please reach out anytime—I’m always happy to chat! 🐾 I'm currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible therefore I can come and go as needed. I should be able to accommodate anytime. I have a fenced in yard and one 10 month old puppy, we were a 2 dog household till recently so little Ollie would some playmates!
“Hannah handled my energetic, strong puppy very well! She was on time and very communicative. We had an unusual and confusing situation as our dog was in our RV in a campground and she was able to navigate that easily.”
“Goose loves walking with Emma! Emma is very good with Goose and prompt with her arrival and departure times. She sends us fun pictures of their walk. Thanks Emma! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“My dog had a great couple of walks with Tracy! She sent great photos and updates while they spent time together, which made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. :)”
“Claudia has been amazing for us, we have 2 larger dogs and she handles them like a true pro. We always get tons of pictures and updates, she's taken a huge burden off of us when we vacation. Thank you!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars! Above and Beyond! Dan was absolutely amazing! I booked him last minute for a late-night walk with my doggos, and because apparently I enjoy making life unnecessarily complicated, I accidentally sent him to my OLD address! 🤦♀️ Not only was Dan incredibly understanding, but he willingly drove nearly 9 miles out of his way to get to the correct address and make sure my pups were taken care of. No complaints, no attitude, just genuine kindness, flexibility, and professionalism. It’s not every day you find someone willing to go that far above and beyond, especially late at night and on short notice. Dan truly saved the day (or rather, the night!), and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate dog walker who genuinely cares. Thank you, Dan! You earned every one of these five stars! 🐾❤️”
“Lynn was great. Both of my pups were in good hands while I was traveling. Great communication before and during time when he was taking care of my dogs. Highly recommend and will use again should the need arise! Thank you!”
About: I own 2 cats myself and have taken care of and lived with dogs before as well. I am also open to animals that may have some disabilities as well. I am located on St Pete beach but am open to the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I am currently in school and work part time. I don’t mind dropping in or going on walks on days I work as well! I like to care for pets based on the how the owners would like them to be cared for. I would appreciate some instruction and background on them!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I’ve been 10. I’ve cared for my own dogs, friends and families dogs as well. I’ve been trusted by many to play, feed, walk, and care for their dogs. I’ve always had dogs and would love to spread some more dog love!! I am always available in the evenings to provide services for both cats or dogs! Tuesday and Thursdays I have more available during the entire day. I live in an apartment, so I would primarily be visiting homes. I can clean up after your dog and take them to parks for play or just in the backyard!

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.
