About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up in a household with five dogs and three cats, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for friends and family whenever they need someone reliable to watch their pets while they’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s taking dogs on walks, playing with them, or giving cats the attention and affection they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently serve in the military, which has helped me develop strong responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. While I work during the day, I have the flexibility to stop by during lunch breaks and am available before and after work for visits, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. My schedule is generally very open outside of work hours, and I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. My apartment complex has plenty of walking areas and open space, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel relaxed and secure while their owner is away. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs, energy levels, and personalities.
About: I have had my own dogs, cats, birds, fish, and gerbils. I treat them all with respect and love. I am very reliable and responsible. I currently have an open schedule, so can be flexible and we can discuss options as needed and work around what fits for everyone involved. I can care for any pets to suit the needs of the pets and their humans, and can adjust as needed to accommodate unique situations.
“Nicole did an outstanding job watching are dogs, one of which is a special needs dog. She took great care of them and kept up up to date on all activities, eating, and medicine. Our vacation was so much better just knowing we had someone as caring and dedicated as Nicole. We will definitely use her again. Five stars!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life. I had my Lola 14 years. She was my travel buddy and my best friend. We swam in the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Mediterranean. I have no problem with breed, I have been around many breeds and have love for all of them. I play music 2-3 nights per week and work from home, so I can do lots of potty breaks and walks throughout the day. Also, able to give medications throughout the day. I have had well trained dogs and love working with them. I will take good care of your puppies and rub your older dogs hips. 😊 I work weekend nights playing music. I do voiceover work from home. I wake up early I have a very open schedule and am available anytime. We have three cats where I live. I play with them and they wait outside my door every morning.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.

“Krystal was fantastic! She sent me pictures every day either of Lucy eating, following a trail of treats or sitting in her lap. Her bowls and litter boxes were all clean and it was so nice knowing she was being looked in on. I highly recommend Krystal and will be using her again.”
“Theresa really helped me out in a pinch, and right around the holidays too! She is friendly and easy-going, punctual, and reliable.

Book her today - you won't be disappointed!”

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.
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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Gulfport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
