“Brittany and Stephen are very caring and did great with our 2 older pups. We appreciate them and they have made our pets feel safe and comfortable. We would recommend them to anyone for dog sitting or daycare.”
About: I am a friend to all animals, I don't discriminate! I'm a lifelong Floridian so I love all kinds of wildlife and have a big appreciation for nature and love to be outdoors, taking dogs to the beach or on long hikes. I also am a huge cat person and am mom to 3 cats🐈⬛. I love all dogs– big, small, hyper, cuddly, lazy, energetic. I've had 2 dobermans in my life so I'm very good with what some would consider "scary" or misunderstood dogs. I've taken care of rottweilers, pitbulls, staffys, retrievers, shepherds. I also had a chihuahua for 13 years, a pet bunny, tons of fish & turtles, a bird, and dozens of cats. So I'm well versed in a lot of pets and understand how important they are to us. I can take care of multiple pets at a time! As long as your pet gets along with other animals they are welcome in my home. I will treat any pet as if they are my own baby. I can provide 24/7 supervision & separation from other animals. I can provide hourly potty breaks and exercise. I work from home so I can take care of pets every day. I wake up at 6:30 /7am to begin taking care of my cats and whatever pets I am boarding. I have availabilities 7 days a week. I can take 2-3 pets on for boarding at a time, depending on size. But I have plenty of room and space for pets to be more than comfortable. I take them for walks as soon as I wake up and feed them all breakfast, then take them out at least 4-5 times a day. I lay on the couch with them or take them to the dog park. If your pet has a specific routine just fill me in on the details and I will treat them as if they were my own! I live in a home with a backyard and multiple rooms for space for pets. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where I can walk dogs for miles and miles! If a pet requires any type of specific space, I have room to provide it for them. I have dog gates & a big guest room so separation is easy and I have a screened in catio for cats
About: I am a work from home sitter with a fenced in yard who will be your pet's full time care giver and best friend while you are away!! I am a work from home sitter with a fenced in yard and have plenty of time to entertain and care for your fur baby. I have a private fenced in yard and a 3 year old Goldendoodle who would love to be best friends with your fur baby. He's very social and loves to play so we'll want to make sure your baby is social and is interested in lots of play time and attention. I am a professional ball thrower and love to spend as much time as possible with the babies.
About: I have been caring for dogs most of my life and love every dog as if they’re my own. I have experience with all life stages and personalities - whether your dog is high energy and needs lots of playtime or is a senior who just wants to relax and be loved on. I am used to medication management, special diets, mobility challenges and bottle feeding. My adult dog, Olive, is always looking for a new friend to play with. I also foster puppies from time to time, so there may be lots of new friends for your pup to interact with while they’re here. I tailor my care to match animals’ personality and routine. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether that is day care during the day or a long-term trip, they will be in good hands. I am fully remote and will be with your pup(s) all day. We will have plenty of outdoor play time during the day and always make time for afternoon naps. There is a nice 3 mile walking path by my house, so if your dog is very active and likes to walk or run, I would love to bring them along. For less active dogs, there will always be a comfy spot on the couch for them! I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for them to explore. My dog, Olive, loves to run around back there. There are also cooling mats on the back porch if your dog likes to sunbathe.
About: Hello! New rescue mom, available for part time pet sitting and/or boarding. I have a very friendly 10 year old Bassett hound mix rescue . I have a very comfortable home, steps away from the downtown Gulfport. Why I love dog sitting: I prefer doggies to humans most of the time! Some call me a dog whisperer- I am instantly very close and make sure to have a bond with each and every animal...I understand separation anxiety can sometimes be challenging so I do my best to treat doggies like lil human beings- making them as happy and comfortable as possible! I make sure every animal has individual attention, care and love while mommy/daddy are away. Meet my pets Harmony. About my yard I do not...I have a small back porch, but I generally walk my dogs 2-3 times a day, and take them to the dog park to get exercise. If I watch your pet during the week, I work from home and can stop over frequently to let them out mid-day. I love taking long walks too! [If your doggie can keep up with me ;) ] I work remote and happy to take the pups out as often as necessary and love taking walks or to a dog park if that is your preference. I stay and work from home and attentive to the dogs needs and they are welcome in any area or on my furniture, and welcome to sleep with me or their doggy beds or crates.
“Brianna was absolutely amazing with Ashe! She was able to watch my dog very last minute and Brianna responded within minutes! I will be booking again l and highly recommend!”
About: Home away from home level love. Expect expert level care, with lots of love, play and snuggles! I only take a few dogs at a time, so that it doesn't get too crowded and everyone gets plenty of attention. We take puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, guinea pigs...you name it! I work from home, so I am rarely away from the pups on weekdays. Drop off times are pretty flexible. Pick up time ends at 8pm. I love when I have conference calls at home and the dogs make a cameo appearance. It makes everyone's day! I have a nice fenced in yard with shady spots throughout. There is a pool that the dogs can swim in if they want. I also have security cameras inside so I can check in when we are not home. Dogs love our doggie door for the freedom to come and go.
About: Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some extra playtime, or a potty break while you’re at work or away, I’m here to help! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve. I’m currently in law school, which means my schedule can be flexible. perfect for fitting in walks and visits during mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I’m responsible, punctual, and always make sure pets (and their owners!) feel comfortable and confident with me. When I visit a client’s home, your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to leash preferences and any special routines. I’ll always double-check that doors and gates are secure, and I never let pets off-leash unless it’s in a fully fenced area (and you’ve approved it). I take time to help your pet feel comfortable around me by using a calm, gentle approach and giving them space to warm up if needed. I pay attention to body language and make sure every walk or drop-in is positive, fun, and stress-free. You can trust that I’ll treat your home with respect. I’ll leave things exactly as I found them and ensure your pet is happy, safe, and cared for before I go. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a loving, reliable companion while you’re away.
About: I love animals and treat them like my own. I hug them, hold them, kiss and play with them. I previously had hundreds of animals on a farm in Seminole Fl. From ducks, chickens rabbits ,cats and dogs, to goats, pigs, cows and horses. I like to make them happy because it warms my heart and makes me happy! I'm very patient, compassionate, hardworking, trustworthy and loyal to people and pets. If your pet is with me they will be safe and loved. I have been a homecare person for an elderly family member and have taken care of my friends animals when they have gone out of town. They have all said how clean I keep their home, and it looks like it did when they left.
“Never really thought I would be able to find someone like Kelly.... professional, friendly, Lily loved her, sent me pictures and kept me in the loop. I'm taking Lily back tomorrow for doggy daycare so that I can enjoy Memorial Day knowing she will get excellent care. I will be a repeat client.”
“Laurie was the best!! She sent me so many videos of my dog Nike playing and he had a ton of fun with all the dogs there. She has a huge backyard too so Nike had plenty of room to run around in. She even managed to tire him out by midday which is an almost unheard of fear. Definitely will be booking with her again!”
“This was my dog Maeve's first time doing doggie daycare with Julie, Brian, and their dog Horatio, and she had a great time! They kept me updated during and gave me a full report afterward. I'll definitely be making this a regular thing!”
“Evette and her sweet lab Lady made our fur babies feel right at home! They were so happy/relaxed/tired from playing all day when we picked them up! Evette was so professional and accommodating, easy to trust right away. She sent so many amazing updates and photos about their stay together! We will for sure be asking her for help again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
Mark took great care of my two small pups when I took them to his home for doggy daycare. He was kind and knowledgeable, sent photos of their stay, and communicated often and clearly with me. His home was clean and welcoming and felt very safe for the dogs. We will definitely use Mark’s services in the future.
If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! Finding someone you truly trust to care for your baby is incredibly difficult, but Emma and William exceeded every expectation. They didn’t just watch Brisket, they treated him like he was part of their family. Throughout the day, I received multiple updates and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he even had a personalized treat bag complete with a hand-drawn picture of him and a sweet little necklace! The best sign of all? He came home happy, content, and completely exhausted from all the fun he had. It was obvious he was loved, cared for, and had an amazing time. We will absolutely be bringing Brisket back and cannot recommend Emma and William highly enough. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our little guy! ❤️🐾🥰
Brittany and Stephen were really great. I was a bit concerned because my Chiquita is a senior dog and has cataracts. Scooter on the other hand is very energetic even at 14. I'm very happy with the care they provided. The "kids" looked happy and ready when I picked them up! Will definitely use them again!

Rashaad was wonderful from start to finish! He made me feel comfortable knowing that Arlo was safe, happy, and well cared for. Communication was quick and easy, and setting up a meet-and-greet was seamless as well. His spacious fenced yard and sweet dog, Onyx, made it an even better experience for Arlo. I really appreciated the photos and update while I was at work. We will definitely be booking daycare with Rashaad and Onyx again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Gulfport on Rover is $32.75 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Gulfport commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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. 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.
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.

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.
