“Kristin was amazing! Trixie had so much fun. Kristin sent lots of pics and took great care of my fur baby. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Kristin. ?”
“Claudia was great! I had realized I still had my furbaby's dog bed in the car after I got home from dropping him off and I did not have to drive back because Claudia had an extra dog bed. She is very nice and took good care of my dog during his two-day stay. I loved getting pictures and updates while I was away. It definitely gave me peace of mind. I’d happily book with her again!”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up with cats and dogs to spending the last four years working with an animal rescue, caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s what drives me. I’ve helped care for rescue animals and pets of all personalities and needs. My goal is always the same: to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I'm currently working part time. I can be available in the mornings before 8am and most afternoons after 4pm. My working days change, but I am happy to fit what is needed in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard. I do have two friendly dogs whome are kenneled off and on, and 2 cats. I also foster and help care of others animals in their homes and sometimes in mine for periods of time.
“Sandy is amazing! She truly took care of our pups as if they were her own. She sent us the most precious pictures and kept us informed the whole time we were away giving us complete peace of mind. We are so thankful.”
“Angela took great care of Kian! She sent me plenty of pictures, took him for long walks, and made sure his stay felt like a vacation too! I’ll absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
“Jayne loved on my baby as if he was her own! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog-mom to care for my Bucky-boy. I will absolutely use her again, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet-sitter. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, and her husband also built a bond my dog. I’m on my way to pick him up now, but I have a feeling that he isn’t ready for his “vacation “ with Jayme and her family, and the other dogs, to end quite yet.”
About: Pets (and working animals) have always been in my life. Currently I do have dogs of my own and always have. Moved to the city and sure do miss my goats, chickens and most of all my potbellies that couldn't come 😭 My father was an animal scientist and I've been around animals of all sorts since the day I was born. I'm a stay at home mom with my youngest at 11 years old. My entire day is free! If I'm not caring or playing with a four legged friend or two webbed feet I'm not having fun! Safety for your pet is most important. Playtime would be wherever you request whether it be your own backyard, walked on a leash, dog park or inside playtime. Your pet will be treated with the utmost care with lots of fun with the safety of him/her always in mind.
“Jesse was amazing! He accepted my booking on very short notice and took excellent care of my dog, Xena, all weekend. He kept me updated, was reliable, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Xena was happy, well cared for, and I could tell she was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jesse again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Dianne took great care of our pup! Drop off and pick up we’re easily scheduled and our pup came home happy and well cared for! Dianne sent pictures and was easy to communicate with!”
“Cierra was fantastic! She sent me daily pictures of Mulata our dog and was very communicative. Very easy going and I highly recommend Cierra. Mulata got a long great with her puppy too so everything was great!”
About: I’ve lived in many different places, all of which I’ve connected with neighbors, friends, and relatives with animals, and I just love animals mostly dogs because I’ve grown up around so many of them and been able to care for them I have 3 dogs of my own two of which are siblings pets so everyday is just pet care, as in letting them out, feeding, watering, bathing when needed, playing, etc I treat every animal in my house as I would my own, they get all the same love and attention as every other pet in the house
“I cannot recommend her enough!!! She took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. Provided a warm and loving environment and had a large yard for our dog to run and play. She sent pictures multiple times a day to show us how much love and attention that Pepper received throughout her stay. She was safe and loved and we will rebook Verdrana for every future trip!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
We needed someone to sit our girl while we traveled to get married and for our honeymoon and I’m so glad we found Sarah! Our puppy immediately felt safe with her, and Sarah sent a few pictures throughout her stay. She went above and beyond to make sure our Sundae was comfortable and that means a lot to us. Fast to reply too!
After having a surgery come up, I contacted a sitter I had never used. We met up and let our kid's play together. Everyone got along and she was super easy to get along with as well. I took the pups over to a very clean house and they seemed to have a great time while I was in the hospital. She dropped them off at the gate, plenty of conversation and pics during the stay, would DEF choose again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gulfport is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $43 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 of October 2026, there are 107 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gulfport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Gulfport can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gulfport home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Gulfport.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Gulfport sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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 MS 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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
