“We booked Amanda to house and dog sit our two pups while we were out of country with limited communication access for two weeks. After having a phone call and then a meet and greet with her, we felt 100% comfortable with her staying at our house and watching our pups. Amanda is down to earth, friendly, and easy for people and dogs alike to get along with. On return, we were not disappointed. The house, pups, and plants were all very well taken care of. We could tell our pups had a blast with her. We are sad to learn that she will be moving away before the end of the year- we would without question book her again. Thank you, Amanda!”

“Kendall was awesome! She went above and beyond for us during her stay in our home with our golden retriever Jax. She stayed over the Halloween weekend and helped with trick or treaters, while also making sure our Jax wasn’t too anxious. She let him sleep in bed with her like he does with us and showed him lots of love. She is super friendly, thorough and trustworthy. The home was clean and kept up very well while we were gone and she kept us in the loop whenever she needed to step out and leave him for a bit. We will definitely be booking with her again and would recommend her.”

“Christopher was so great, & accommodating on such short notice. He really made us feel comfortable especially with it being our first time using Rover. He was very communicative through the whole process, and we loved the pictures we got of our boys while we were gone for the night. When we got home the dogs were so calm & tired, so I know they enjoyed their time with Christopher. Thank you again Christopher!”

About: I have three cats and have been a lifelong dog owner (I don't love that word, but you get the point). Unfortunately my soul dog, Axil passed away almost 2 years ago. We loved to go on walks, runs, car rides, and any kind of adventure together and your dog will fit right in with my active lifestyle. I have a blind cat that is fine with all animals of any size. I also have another cat, Giuseppe that keeps to himself for the most part b it does love a good walk outside (on a harness and leash). I recently foster failed a third kitty, Benito because he is in heart failure and is don't want to add any stress to him by finding him a forever home. His forever home is with us. He takes heart medications twice a day and is also on Prozac as I believe he was previously abused. I'm comfortable administering medications to cats and dogs. Anyone can tell you I love cats and dogs and take great care of both! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm currently in town for the foreseeable future as I got laid off last year and moved back in with my mom from Austin. My three cats live like kings in this house. I am attentive to their needs and give extra attention if they need it. I like to play and make sure they are active by going outside for walks or playing with toys inside. I only work part time right now with a flexible schedule as a freelancer. I am able to adapt to your cat or dogs needs. I am extra careful with any clients' pets as I am aware of the level of trust it takes for someone else to watch my own pets. I extend extra care and grace for cats who are shy but I usually am able to get them comfortable around me. I adhere to any of their routines down to the minute and happy to care for your pets exactly how they should and need to be cared for.

Carrisa was great, she messaged me daily and Shadow seemed calm when I got home. I know my girl needs a lot at this time in her life, but Carrisa seemed to just roll with the extra patience she needed. I appreciate everything she did for her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gulfport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Gulfport is $22 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $27 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.

As of November 2026, there are 108 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gulfport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gulfport walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gulfport maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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.

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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
  • 97% 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.
