“Marlene was absolutely fantastic with our cats! We got regular updates, they CLEARLY adore her and we came home to the SWEETEST series of notes “from our cats” which we loved!”
“Kimberly was thoughtful, communicative and vary caring. I was totally at ease while being away from my big old boy. She sent pictures daily with updates and I appreciated that she left my home clean. I definitely recommend Kimberly for any pet sitting (or house cleaning)!”
“Allison was wonderful. She arrives on time, was super sweet with our 4 yorkies, young and old, played fetch with them, snuggled on the couch and slept in bed with them. We were able to enjoy our 4 night vacation without any worries at all as she checked in with us each the morning and evening with pics/videos, updates and was super nice. Thank you so much Allison we will be sure to have you watch our fur babies again you were amazing!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Paige took care of my pup exactly the way you would want someone to. She’s sincere and genuine. Couldn’t recommend her more. Thanks for being awesome, Paige!”
“Alyssa took care of Luna at her home while we were on vacation for four days/three nights. Luna took to her immediately and it was clear that Alyssa has a lot of love and experience with dogs. She was loving and caring and sent us a photo of Luna twice daily with a sweet and fun caption. Alyssa has a wonderful dog, Ace, and Luna and Ace played well together in her spacious fenced in back yard. We were comfortable and enjoyed our time away, knowing that Luna was loved, well taken care of and also well exercised. She had a sweet playmate with Ace the whole time which is a real bonus! We will definitely ask Alyssa again to take care of Luna, when we have to travel without her. Thank you Alyssa for taking care so wonderfully of our Luna !”
“What an amazing experience we had with Blaize. She communicated with us every day, let us know how things were going and was so patient with our dog whom has major storm anxiety! She left our house very clean and we will definitely look to use her again! Highly recommend”
“Dan (and Bruno) were awesome! Murphy was so relaxed and not dressed when we got home. He got along famously with the two of them. We could tell he hadn’t lacked for any attention while we were gone. We will definitely be booking him (and Bruno!) in the future.”
“It was such a pleasure for us to know that Amy was at our home taking great care of Whiskey! When we met Amy for our meet and greet we had a feeling that they would get along great and they did! Thank you Amy for taking care of our home as well and for your kindness and professionalism throughout. We look forward to having you come over again and spend some time with our whiskey ;-)”
“Amaya was so amazing!! She took great care of my pup and followed her strict feeding schedule. Bella was very happy to see her! Will definitely use her again if I am going out of town!”
“Aimee is amazing!! She was so great with my Shih Tzu, Bailey!! She was so accommodating. My trip was last minute and unexpectedly had to be extended an extra day and she was wonderful about it! Bailey is scared of storms and unfortunately there was some bad weather while I was away. She made sure he was comfortable, calm, and safe. She sent regular updates and adorable pics of Bailey! She took excellent care of my plants and my house in addition to my little guy! I already have her booked for another stay in September. I highly recommend her!”
“Ben was accommodating by fitting us in on short notice for house-sitting. He was very detailed in his care for birdie, making note of Birdie's temperament toward strangers, feeding behavior, and idiosyncrasies. We will definitely be using Ben again for house and dog sitting needs. Thank you Ben!”
“Brianne was amazing! She was so responsive, giving me tons of updates about my dog Yuki. I can tell that Yuki loved her visit with Brianne and that she treated Yuki with so much love, care, and attention. She really went the extra mile in every way.”
“Julianna was great!!! She took care of my 2 dogs including a puppy. She was responsive and sent great pics and videos. She arrived early and stayed late since our flight was a late one. She left my house very clean and that was a treat to come home to. I would recommend her to my friends and family!”
“Sarah was very responsive, sent lots of pics, and the best thing was she forgot something at my house and stopped by after I got home and my dogs were jumping for joy to see her again so they clearly had a lovely weekend with their new friend! Thank you for taking great care of my furry babies!”
“Mr. Jason was absolutely amazing in taking care of my husky. He followed all my instructions and went above and beyond, taking my boy on walks down the trail. If you want someone who will be attentive to your dogs needs and provide them with all the love, cuddles, and attention, this is the sitter to book. I have booked several sitters before on this app, but I dont think my boy has ever loved and missed a sitter before. He definitely misses hanging out with mr Jason.”
About: I have been a huge animal lover since I can remember. I have been a proud dog momma for most of my life. My beautiful four legged son, Camper, is a great pyrenees/lab mix (very BIG boy). I personally trained Camper in obedience with the use of my knowledge in ABA. I am currently in graduate school working towards a degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis. Thanks to my experience and training, I am able to help train various different animals. I am also skilled in administering medications to both cats and dogs. I have open availability as of now, monday through sunday, any time. So you just let me know! Looking forward to meeting your fur babies :) My daily routine with the pups, looks like getting up, taking them for a nice long walk, playing outside, feeding them breakfast, being lazy on the couch and giving LOTS and LOTS of cuddles. Eventually we head back outside to get some zoomies out and will go on an additional walk if needed, then we head back in for dinner. There are many potty breaks, play time, and treats if necessary in the middle! I plan on giving your pups (and cats) the same kind of love, care, and attention that I give my own.
About: Dogs have been part of my life forever! I’m excited to give your furry friend plenty of love, attention, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I work from home so it offers me the flexibility to care for your pet. As a former dog owner I understand pets need love. I prefer to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I know from experience how much comfort that gives the dogs

I had Lacy watch my pup overnight for 5 days and she did such an amazing job! My dog is very particular with people and she loved her. She sent me lots of updates with pictures and left my house super clean. Even washed my sheets and towels before leaving! I felt really safe leaving my dog alone with her and she’s going to be my go to sitter from now on :)
Thank you Reanna for doing such an excellent job watching our puppy Butters!! She was able to help us last minute and did an amazing job, came home to a super happy and calm pup. She made sure to send picture updates, played with him and helped with his potty breaks. Cannot thank her enough!
Ali was wonderful! She came to our home prior to her first booking so she could meet our dog and they could both be comfortable. I was able to show her around and tell her more about some of his special needs. Ali was right on time, sent great pics so we knew he was happy and provided him the exact care he needed. I could tell when she visited that she was good at listening to his cues and learned quickly his likes and dislikes. We are so happy to have found her!
Brittany was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough! My dog is older, so I often feel guilty leaving him, but Brittany was so attentive and communicative that I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care for several days. She also kept my home clean and organized, and sent several updates/pictures while I was gone. I really trust, Brittany, which means so much to me as a dog owner. I will be booking with her again!
Dan was a total life saver. I had an important trip planned but my dog with chronic health issues had a flare a couple days before I had to leave and my prior arrangements fell through. Dan accommodated us at the last minute, was fully understanding of the situation, and went above and beyond following near hourly instructions for meds, feeding, and working around my dog’s anxiety. I came back to a happy, healthy dog and my home just as I had left it. I will definitely be using Dan again.
Cannot say enough good things about Joli. She stayed at our house for almost two weeks while we traveled internationally. She left our house SPOTLESS, leaving it cleaner than when we left. Our dog had the time of her life and got so much love and cuddles. It was so nice having peace of mind our little stage 5 clinger was a happy girl. If I could give 10 stars I would!
Zlata has stayed with our dogs more than three times now, and we absolutely love having her in our home with our fur baby! She gives me so much peace of mind and allows us to travel for business without having to worry about Louie. Her communication and responsiveness are always great, which makes me feel even more comfortable knowing Louie is happy and everything is going well while we’re away. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust with him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Gulfport is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $77 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gulfport walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gulfport maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
