“Great as always!! Marlene has walked and fed my Alfonse on and off for about 2 years now. Whenever my work schedule gets hectic enough to need a sitter, we return to Marlene because she is the best. The utmost in reliable professionalism!”
“Michelle has watched my two dogs several times. I always get pictures and know when she has been with them through the app. She does an amazing job. They are always happy when I get back home showing me they have been well taken care of. She comes everyday on our agreed times and feeds, walks, and spends time with them. My mind is at ease knowing Michelle is taking care of my little guys. Thanks!!”
“We had great confidence and peace of mind in leaving our senior kitty in Andrea’s care. In our first meeting we could see Andrea’s skill and experience shine through in the way she treated Giselle. Couldn’t be happier.”
“Thank you Lisa for taking care of my cat! She did an exceptional job - was very professional and communicated well. I strongly recommend her and will be contacting her again if I ever need a sitter.”
“Our first of many with Kim. We are on holiday for a while and expect many visits with Kim. She is everything we were looking for, professional, caring and a lovely personality. Trusted her with our FUR BABIES when we first met. Thank you Kim.”
“Devin and Kylie were incredible! They left extremely thoughtful reviews and pictures during each of their visits. This was the first time I ever used Rover and we could not be happier with how it went. We highly recommend Devin & Kylie and will certainly use them again! Your pets are in great hands with them.”
About: Raised with five pets and over a decade of experience, I've cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs. I have a border-collie mix that is timid at first but gets along with others! I don’t board more than one dog at a time to ensure the best care for your pet. Available for early morning and weekday lunchtime walks. Let's discuss your dog's schedule! I work full-time from home, allowing me the flexibility to take breaks for pet care. My mornings and afternoons are especially open. Just let me know your preferred time, and I'll be there! At someone else’s home, I try to make the dog feel as comfortable as possible with a new person in their space. I pay attention to the notes from owners.
“Brittany was amazing, really investing in making friends with our cats, even the one that was being standoffish. She also sent tons of pictures and a quick written update that I really appreciated. Looking forward to having her sir for us again.”
“Anika did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She was great at keeping us updated on what was going on with our dog at home. She even made extra visits to let our dog out when our dog wouldn't go outside due to bad weather. She really seems to love animals we would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Cohlee was amazing! She was super communicative and I could tell that she took great care of my pup - she sent me the BEST pictures too. I would definitely recommend her services and book her again.”
“Mary is super friendly and respectful. Our dog adores her and can't wait to see her. She always shows up at the agreed time and contacts us if there is a problem. The pictures she sends us are adorable and we always feel assured our dog is well cared for. I highly recommend her (although I'd like to keep her a secret lol).”
“We are so lucky to have found Kim!! My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and knowledgeable pet sitter. She sends hilariously detailed reports of her visits with our cats and the fun they get up to. We completely feel at ease knowing she is looking after our cats. We can’t praise her enough!”
“Alexandria was great with our pups!! She came to the meet & greet and asked great questions that made us feel comfortable with her taking care of our pups. She was very responsive for any question or check ins we had. Definitely recommend!!”
“Elise took great care of my older dog, Lucy. We were able to book her 2 days prior to leaving and she was very easy to communicate with. She was prompt with her checkins with Lucy and sent some pretty cute photos, too. We would definitely recommended Elise for any pet sitting needs.”
“Cassandra saved us at the last minute when we left on a trip. She is friendly, kind and made extra effort to get to know our Ragdoll cat who can be shy and ldifficult. We couldn’t have asked for more. Cassandra is absolutely the best!!!”
“Alison was fantastic. She came by for some drop-ins while I was out of town for the weekend. She was extremely communicative, came right on schedule, made sure every one of my dog's needs was attended to, and was super easy to work with. Zero complaints.”
“Sam did a wonderful job watching my two cats. She even got my shy boy to come out from hiding. It made me so happy to know he was being taken care of too. Will definitely use her again. Thanks!”
“Emily is very prompt with her communication and is very attentive to the needs of our pups which can fluctuate week to week. We appreciate her flexibility and communication when we can’t be there!! Highly recommended!”

Sam was so amazing with my girls, if I could leave more than 5 stars I would! She is timely, accommodated all normal routines, does well with my older dog who needs extra care and medications, and sent me so many updates it truly felt like my babies were in the best care! If anyone is like me who is normally anxious leaving their pets with someone new or unfamiliar, fear not! Sam will give your babies plenty of love and attention and it will show! I can’t even being to express my gratitude! Highly recommend!
Alix was fantastic! We received wonderful photo updates and detailed notes during every drop-in visit, which were twice daily. Alix followed every instruction perfectly, handled medications for two of our cats with ease, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!"
Our 7-year-old American Bulldog has always been a challenge to find care for. Until now, the only person we trusted to watch him was my brother-in-law. Our dog gets protective and anxious when we leave, and because of his size, many people are understandably hesitant to come into our home without us there. Dan went above and beyond by taking the time to meet our dog several times before our trip and doing a few trial visits to build trust. His patience, kindness, and calm demeanor made all the difference, and he ended up being the perfect fit for our pup. Knowing we had someone we could truly rely on gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We no longer have to stress about leaving town, and that is priceless. Dan is amazing, and we couldn't recommend him more highly. We can't wait to use his services again in the future!
Alison was so awesome! My dogs absolutely loved her and when I came home from my trip I could tell they really enjoyed their time with her while I was away. Alison was especially considerate with my senior dachshund who I was quite nervous to leave, but her separation anxiety was minimal thanks to all the love she got from Alison! Alison was great with juggling the needs of her along with my high energy 4 year old Irish setter. We will definitely be repeat clients!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gulfport on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,819 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gulfport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gulfport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gulfport. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
