About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
“Ashlyn did I wonderful job of taking care of my cat! Hired her for drop in visits and she did amazing. Very attentive to instructions and great communication. My kitty loved her and I would definitely recommend her/will be using her in the future if I need to!”


About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!
About: I’ve always had at least one dog in the house. My family currently has 3 dogs and I’ve helped train and take care of 2 since they were puppies. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and we just rescued our 3rd dog who is 10. Before I go into work, I feed and let out the dogs. One of our dogs tore his ACL so I also tend to him with medication and making sure our other dogs aren’t getting him riled up. Throughout the day I let them out and stimulate them as well as feed them in the evenings. We have an electric fence at my house and also monitor the dogs when they are outside. We make sure they are well fed but not overweight and eating their food. We bathe them regularly and take them to the vet to keep them healthy. When watching other dogs, I make sure to follow instructions and keep an eye on the dog(s) when I’m with them. I make sure they are stimulated and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, geckos, and fish for years. I love taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently work early in the mornings and certain weekends during December-April. I am available after 3pm most days and I am flexible upon request between 12-3pm. I can crate your dog in home if you’d like after walks or drop in visits. I always make sure your fur baby has access to water at all times and food as instructed by the owners.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child. Beyond my own pets, I worked as an animal caretaker and cared for pets of varying ages and abilities. I’ve even given medicine to a baby chameleon! I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I will be on break until August. I have my own sweet dog that loves other dogs, but if yours needs walked alone, that’s okay too. I have always had pets of all kinds and I worked at petsmart as the animal caretaker, so I have experience with traditional pets as well as reptiles, birds, fish, etc.
About: I have experience with all ages of pets. I have a great amount of patience too with pets.I am also able to give medicine as well. I grew up around all kinds of animals my whole life. I’m currently working part time CNA doing home health. Monday-Friday! 8a-3p and Wednesday till 6! Weekends and weekday evening availability! As well as mornings on the weekend. I care for my pets and clients pets in a very loving manner. I always have patience and i do things how my client needs things done.
About: I have adopted several dogs from shelters over the years; all being larger breeds like German shepherds / shepherd mix as well as being both elderly and special needs dogs. This means I have experience in giving dogs medication, and giving them extra attention for any needs they may need. While they have been elderly that didn’t impair them for going out on long walks, or being large strong dogs; making me confident in my ability to safely walk almost any dog outdoors. While I've done a lot of stuff with older dogs that doesn't stop me from being able to keep up with a young energetic pup either! I have also helped out several friends with pet sitting their dogs many times. This has also given me experience in dealing with nervous / anxious dogs and their needs. I work a job that allows me to work from my (or your) home on most days and have no other set obligations. I do not have a job that comes with surprise emergencies, so once I agree to a time, I will be able to make it. You know how to take care of your pet, it's my job to imitate that while you are gone so they can feel safe or less anxious while you are away. With my experience with shelter adoptions, I understand that some pets may need special care and feel up to most such challenges. Honesty is my policy. While I don’t expect it, if there is something I am uncomfortable with, a task or sadly your pet and I aren’t compatible, I'd clearly say so at our first meeting allowing you the time to search for other options.
About: Experienced in caring for dogs from bottle fed newborns to extra needs seniors. I’ve lived on farms for a number of years and have a lot of hands on experience with an array of animals all ages and litters. Also experienced in basic positive feedback training and/or just giving your animal the love and care they deserve! I work from home so am basically available all day everyday. I can provide 24/7 care to your pet in the ways that are most comfortable for you i.e how frequently you want potty breaks to be done, feeding times, any training you want them to keep up with ect. I have a big fenced yard and two sweet dogs to keep your pet company! I can also easily crate your pet if and when you feel comfortable or keep them out and playing all day!

“Sophia was very good with the cats; I could tell by the pictures that she sent. They were friendly to her when they met her. Usually they are more aloof with new people they meet. Sophia took care of all the things we asked of her. I got a really good vibe from her and felt that my babies would be well cared for. I would recommend her, and we would hire her again.”

About: I grew up with at least always one dog in childhood home and was one of the few, if not only, kid on the street that parents and neighbors would ask to not only watch their kids but also take care of their fur (etc.) babies . Cats and dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs, snakes, lizards and birds are all animals at one point or another I have cared for. I also believe every breed and age of dog or cat deserves as much love and care any any other breed or aged pet! I love the outdoors, including days that arnt sunny and bright, and would love to play and entertain your beloved animal while also making sure all their needs are meet. Home with time to share with your family pets! I try to give ample notification if any changes occur. I am usually very responsive to texting, more so when I am caring for someone's beloved pet. If a client would like to keep their pets stress levels lower while they are on their vacation by having me come take care of their pet at their own territory that is great! I will always take time to play, pet, clean up after and or feed your pet if that is the service you require. Dog walks usually wont end unless the animal has relieved itself (individual pet dependent) and they are smiling those big goofy doggo smiles. My previous occupation had me perform security so I understand the importance of people needing to feel safe and secure in letting someone into their home while its unattended. Please feel free to ask me any types of questions and feel confident that none of your information will be shared/copied etc in any way in addition to the sites our background check.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have a Great Pyrenees mix and Golden Retriever at home. In high school I helped train the golden retriever. This past year I have also been dog sitting an enthusiastic and energetic Australian Shepard. At my college house, I have also been helping train a one year old Golden Retriever puppy. I really enjoy running in my free time so I would be happy to run or walk your dog! I recently just graduated from Ball State University and am now in my first year of medical school. I currently have no other commitments outside of pet sitting and studying hard for school! I would care for your pet like my own! I would love to play with you pet if they are high energy or just chill and hang out with your pet inside if they just want company. I also love to be outside so I would be happy to go on walks or runs with your pet.
About: I have always had pets growing up. Mostly Cats. I also really enjoy walking. I walk my dog, Charlee a lot and she would love a friendly walking buddy. If I have to walk your dog alone that’s fine, just let me know! :) I’m currently working part-time so, I will have plenty have time to walk and care for your pets! I am free every day except for Wednesdays. I can keep your pets company or entertain your dog by walking and playing with them. No Animals can stay in my home, but I am okay with staying in your home! I would take care of your home and your pets just like they were my own. I am a honest trustworthy person. I care about everyone and their animals! :)
About: I have owned 3 dogs myself. 1 in the past & 2 currently. I do all training & grooming myself. I also have been offering these services for awhile so I am experienced at working with a wide variety of dogs. I am an entrepreneur. I currently do grooming & training services on the side already. I love working with dogs in any way, shape or form. I have lots of flexibility for dates/times. My dogs both have kennels & are well trained with them. I would prefer your baby has one as well (I also have extras to use). They will be let out for potty/play breaks a minimum of every 2 hours in the yard with privacy fences. They will also have fresh water available at all times & snacks as needed.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, either in my own household or my friends! I’ve always enjoyed having a relationship with pets and have a deep love for all animals. Communication with owners and attention to any specific details regarding the pets is something that I feel is my specialty! I also am very flexible and willing to accommodate my plans for the sake of the owner. I currently am a college student at Ball State University and in my senior year. My class load this year is relatively light and looking for some part time work. Besides class and studying I am flexible almost every day. I currently don’t have any pets in my home but one thing I always try to make sure to achieve when meeting new pets in a new environment is to be friendly and don’t be shy or scared when meeting the pets for the first time! Treat them like you’ve been friends for years even though you just met them!
About: We’ve had animals since our whole life, me and my partner love to take care of the animals and would love to meet all of your animals and to take care of them, take them on a walk, etc I’m currently working part time, my partner, Taylor is a online college student so we have a lot of time between us to go and take care of the animals whenever it is needed (: When I’m at your home I’d watch them all the times, put on leash everytime we go out or go on a walk, make sure they’re keeping themselves busy
About: I have had many dogs throughout my life. From Cane Corsos, to Corigs, I can handle it! Your pet will be in safe hands with me! I work full time but am available most mornings and several breaks throughout the day. I also have availability on weekends and the flexibility to help when needed! I can take your dog to the dog park if preferred over walking. I have experience walking dogs both big and small. I love playing with dogs!
About: Growing up with pets I always had an appreciation for animals and a genuine love. When I started college, I knew I did not want to have a pet of my own until I could provide the emotional, financial, and physical care for the pet. I started dog sitting during my undergrad when one of my professors needed helping caring for her coonhound. From there, I fell in love with dog sitting and was really able to expand my network with working with smaller dogs, cats, and larger dogs. I believe that the animal needs to be put first, so I will always ensure that I will come stay in house, administer medicine, and exercise pets to their needs. I always communicate with clients and will send as many photos as you wish. Believe it or not, I once sent my first dog sitter over 200 photos of her dog while she was gone for a week and yes, I still have those photos on my phone. The pet and owner will always come first I work a full time job but my job does not demand working past 5 so I can always ensure I will be there after work hours. My job is flexible and I live close to home. I am free most weekends and week nights and always prefer staying in house at the clients. I believe it more comfortable for both parties. I always follow what the client requests. I live in an apartment complex but it is spacious and located in downtown so I have access to trials and parks to walk pets. I feel comfortable putting pets in my car and always driving with caution.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since the time I was very little. I just have a passion for animals and they bring me lots of joy! I’m very free since there’s summer. So I’m pretty flexible and free in morning and and evenings. Really anytime, I love going on walks and usually out and about! I have a fenced yard. My house is pretty big, there able to be out and about! I’m able to be flexible and do what you ask for your animal

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Muncie 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.
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 Muncie 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. 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 .

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 Muncie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
