“Just used rover for the 1st time and had a great experience. Kimberly was very professional, punctual and took great care of my dog. 10/10 if you’re looking for someone to watch your pet.”
“I could not recommend Alison enough - she was beyond amazing! We have a rescue dog who is very fear aggressive and Alison took the time to come meet with him to see if they’d be a good match. She is so patient and kind, and that’s all we wanted for our older rescue. Alison also communicated with us on everything and was very timely. I came home to a relaxed, well taken care of pup. 10/10, book with Alison!”
About: I’ve had dogs and/or cats since I was 4 and was always the one caring for them. I started pet sitting 6 years ago after watching a neighbors pet and realizing how much i enjoyed caring for them. I love walking, feeding and playing with them. On occasion i’ve found myself having to get them cleaned up after a day of fun so bathing isn’t a problem. I’m currently working part time from home and flexible with times. I’m an early riser therefore mornings don’t bother me and depending on distance I can be available in the evening. Currently I have two cats so their fun activities are kept indoors. There’s a cat tree they love to relax on and they both LOVE water so i’ll give them fresh water from the faucet. In clients home I’ll abide by any preferences they have for their pets and play with them non stop.
“Amazing experience!! Skylar is professional and quick to respond. She is attentive and followed all the instructions I left for my dog Wrigley. She also kept me updated while I was away w plenty of photos. I can gone from vacation to a happy and well cared for pup!”
“We could not be happier about leaving Devin to take care of our dogs. From building a great rapport with them to plenty of pictures and reporting each visit, Devin has proven to be the confident choice to leave them with again in the future. Thank you Devin for the peace of mind you gave us for our trip.”
About: I have been in the pet care world for most of my life. I have volunteered and worked in shelters since a young age. Through my 20’s I managed a small boarding and adoption facility. I have experience in all types of animals - from fish, to snakes, to hamsters, to rabbits, to cats and dogs (my fav!). I currently have two rescue pups. I truly love animals and enjoy caring for them. I have taken care of so many different types and breeds along with those that have medical needs and senior needs. Thank you for considering me to care for your family member! I have my own business which offers me flexibility with scheduling. I will always try to work with you on what your schedule needs are. Caring for your pets and making sure they are comfortable and have what they need is #1 priority. I will always go over what your pets needs are with you first before starting any job, so that I make sure they have exactly what they need. I pride myself on healthy, responsible pet care.
“Lauren is always amazing with my animals! I trust her completely when I need to leave my babies behind. She’s very reliable and I know my Border Collie loves to see her!”
“Lynn is always great and patient with my dogs. We have used him about five times and he is always on time and really communicative. The last time we had a different sitter cancel, and he was able to fill-in last minute. This time we had trouble with our garage opener, and he was very patient as I would sometimes not realize he was already there, and he would have to wait for me. He was always really patient with me and waited to make sure the dogs were always OK. I love having Lynn taking care of the dogs because I know that they are safe.”
“Sage was an amazing caretaker for my babies. They were very communicative about any issues the cats were having and sent loads of pics that made it clear the cats were very happy. Definitely recommend”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so they have always just been a part of the family. I recently adopted my sweet perfect angel kitty Lola and helped my old roomates out with their cats so I love them as well. I am a law student so I have 2-3 hour classes periodically throughout the week. I also volunteer as a Guardian Ad Litem and with gulf coast legal services so sometimes I have those obligations as well. I will not bring pets into my home but can definitely visit yours and your fur baby as needed! I look forward to meeting you and your fur child
About: I’ve been around animals all my life (born and raised on my family farm in Pennsylvania). My family has always had a dog and as an adult, I’ve had 4 Golden Retrievers. I absolutely love dogs. :) I am recently retired from the tech industry so my schedule can be very accommodating. I am available as early as 8am and up to 7pm. When I meet any new animal, I always allow them to greet me when they are ready. I will sit on the floor and allow them to feel comfortable before I approach them.
About: Pets have always been apart of the family and yours will be no different! I am so Ready to love your furry friends and keep them safe while they are in my care. My schedule is open. And flexible which is perfect for a quick visit or drop in to show some love and care to your furry friends. As a dedicated and reliable pet sitter, I prioritize creating a comfortable, safe, and loving environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routine—providing personalized care, regular feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and plenty of affection. In my home, pets are treated like family, with a cozy space to relax and thrive. For in-home visits, I ensure pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their daily habits and routines. My goal is to give pets the care and attention they deserve, and provide owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in great hands.
“I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! From the moment we first reached out, her responsiveness was exceptional. Appointment requests were always answered within minutes, making scheduling incredibly easy and stress-free. One of our biggest concerns was having someone we could truly trust in our home—and this sitter exceeds all expectations. She respected our space, kept everything tidy, and we always felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such capable and reliable hands. What truly sets Tessa apart is her remarkable attentiveness to our dog’s special needs. Our aging Weimaraner has a unique diet and medication schedule and some specific behavioral quirks, but Tessa took the time to learn every detail and made sure our dog felt happy and safe. We regularly received thoughtful updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while away. If you’re searching for a quick-to-respond, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter, look no further. Our experience has been nothing short of outstanding!”
About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers raising Pugs, and I’ve since had an English Bulldog and now a Frenchie of my own. I have a special place in my heart for smush-faced breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs, but all pups are welcome! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and will make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I work from home during the week, which means your pup won’t spend the day alone while staying with me. I have a large backyard for play and plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. My dog loves to spend the day napping in my bed. He’s pretty docile and lazy during the day when he wants to be. However he will always play host and entertain guests to fit their needs. I have a large backyard where they can roam and play.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Gulfport is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
This was my first time using Rover and I couldn't be happier. Alyssa was super prompt during the booking and greeting process and as soon as we met her we knew we made the right choice. Our cat McKenzie was very well cared for, and with each passing day and photo updates, we could see him change and become more and more comfortable. Final day, flat on back, paws up, just totally relaxed. Thank you, Alyssa for a wonderful experience for all of us.
Linzey was so good with my three boys my cats Especially my one that has cardiomyopathy he takes medicine for He ended up getting real sick, while I was away on a cruise Linzey did everything she could to get him to an emergency hospital because he was in critical condition Even though I didn’t have great service she did everything she could to inform me and she let me know at the hospital what was going on If it wasn’t for her he wouldn’t have made it. She was great with my other two cats as well. I will definitely be using her again
Sidney was wonderful! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat while I was away. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciated Sidney’s kindness and attentiveness, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
We are so happy we were able to book Kylee last minute for our 4 months old kitten! She showed up promptly at each scheduled drop-in and took care of everything Pixel needed while we were away. Litterbox cleaning, feeding, so much play time and cuddle sessions plus plenty of treats to keep Pixel quite happy! We also got a ton of photo updates with each visit which helped ease some of my worry about leaving our kitten home for the first time but she made sure to communicate consistently and we had nothing to worry about. We will definitely book Kylee again int the future!
Amazing experience!! Skylar is professional and quick to respond. She is attentive and followed all the instructions I left for my dog Wrigley. She also kept me updated while I was away w plenty of photos. I can gone from vacation to a happy and well cared for pup!
Sarah was phenomenal! She communicated with me daily, sent so many photos of our babies, and wrote detailed summaries after each visit. She went above and beyond and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our cats clearly loved her, and it was such a relief knowing they were happy and well cared for. We couldn’t be happier and will absolutely book with her again! 💗
Another great drop in visit from Dylan. Thank you so much for always being so flexible and accommodating, within reason, and so so comunitive. We are so glad we get to continue working with you and can't wait until your next visit taking such good care of our girls.
Lisa was absolutely AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She truly goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her enough! My pets instantly adored her, and it was so comforting knowing they were happy, loved, and well taken care of while I was away. Lisa is incredibly caring, attentive, reliable, and clearly has such a genuine love for animals. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and I came home to happy pets! I will definitely be booking with Lisa again. If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gulfport is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 6,871 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gulfport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gulfport. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
