He is a true dog lover, no matter the age, the gender or the breed ... I recommend a thousand times.”
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.

“Thanks for watching Zeek again. He loves you guys. He is almost as sad to leave your house as he is to leave mine. Haha. A lovely home away from home. I always love all of the photos. He also keeps staring at my coffee table like “why don’t we have a giant bean bag too, mom?! 🙂”

“My boys love going to see you on their “vacation“. I never have a bit of worry and I enjoy the pictures and comments that you sent me while I’m gone. Thank you very much. If I could give you more than five stars, I certainly would. Thank you very much.”
About: I had my dog from age 6-18 and I was her main caretaker. I taught her a lot of tricks, so I am familiar with a lot of common commands. She was so special to me, so I can ensure that I will always treat your pets with the most kindness and respect to honor that bond. I am currently going to college, but I have a lot of flexibility. Early mornings are hard for me with my classes, but I am typically available in the afternoon and evening! While boarding, I have a fenced in yard as well as a nice neighborhood for walks. Either while boarding or pet sitting, I make sure that I learn their routines from you and make sure that I follow them as closely as possible.

We highly recommend Brooke and will definitely be using her again when we return to Tampa/St. Pete!!!”
“Nancy accepted my last-minute booking and took great care of Bailey for five days. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Bailey is doing great! I really appreciate Nancy's flexibility and care. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
We couldn't have asked for better caregivers for our two dogs! They are kind, patient, and considerate. You can tell that they really do love pets! Our boys got spoiled with toys and lots of affection. We got updates throughout the day on how the dogs were doing and how much they were enjoying their time. That helped us enjoy our vacation knowing that our boys were in good hands. Also, the backyard is amazing, lots of room to run and areas to explore. Angela and Kenny were flexible with me and my schedule. They made the whole experience stress-free. I'm very grateful for that!
Pam is WONDERFUL! We have a 8 month old puppy and have had Pam watch her every time. She truly cares about the dogs in her care and it gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. Not only does she take them for walks, she practices training with her, takes her on adventures to the beach and to the park, and is always sending pictures and videos. She truly is the best. It can always feel unsettling leaving your pet with someone but with Pam, we know she’s in the best hands. 10/5 stars if I could!
Brittany was terrific. We are very grateful that she was available and amenable to care for our pug Bruno at the very last minute due to a sudden change of plans as we were leaving town. Brittany immediately bonded with Bruno and it was clear that he was enjoying himself. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Jackie! She was caring, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. We especially appreciated how many updates and photos she sent each day, which gave us peace of mind and made it easy to see that our pup was in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!
We're so grateful to have found Jennifer! She has a great space for the puppies and she lets our Honey snuggle with her on couches and beds, which makes her feel right at home. Honey always looks like she's having a great time in the pictures, and she comes home happy and tuckered out.
We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care Liz provided for our sweet fur baby, Pepper! From start to finish, Liz was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. Her communication was fantastic, and we loved receiving regular updates and adorable pictures throughout Pepper’s stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Pepper was in such loving and capable hands while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Pepper gives Liz two paws up! 🐾❤️

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Gulfport is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.
There are 3,193 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gulfport. About 93% of Gulfport sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
