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’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, and love going on walks and spending quality with pups. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for both young puppies and sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all of the love and care they need! While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised - either on walks or a secure lead. I will follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, making sure they are safe, happy, and loved. Whether at my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and keep you updated throughout the stay!

About: My whole life I've been around dogs, whether that be big or small. I've been getting around cats more as well as i have always had fondness for them too! Now that I'm in college, I am away from my dog and lizard. But I still do find ways to interact with animals on campus! I have a small dog at home named Krypto that I love and give all my attention. I give every pet all the attention they deserve!

About: Hello! I have been taking care of family and friends' pets of all ages, including dogs, cats, fish, and rodents since I was in elementary school. I love going on walks outside as well as playing with and loving on all kinds of animals. A friend had a hedgehog and I loved his spiky self! I have had dogs my whole life and currently have four rescued cats, one of whom I nursed from two weeks old after she was abandoned by her mother on the streets. Only two of the cats live with me in my current living situation, but they're all still in my heart! They just live with my partner in another state because I currently live with my mom and she said I could only have two with me. :/ Trust that if it was up to me, I'd have all four! I also live with my mom's 3 dogs, a German Shepherd, a Poodle/Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever mutt, and a lil 4lb baby that is scared of everything except the giant dogs she thinks she can fight with! Because of the big dogs I live with, I do know that I unfortunately cannot handle walking a large, strong dog that is not leash trained because they will absolutely drag me all the way down the street if they take off running. I won't let go, but they'll take me with them! If you have a low energy/senior larger dog, or have a fenced-in backyard and are okay with us having our active time in the backyard instead of going on walks, we can discuss the situation! If I say no, please do not be hurt or offended. It is for your pet's safety as well as my own! I am currently only working on Rover, so my days are pretty free! I spend most of my days hanging out with my own pets, junk journaling, going thrifting, stalking eBay for vintage clothing and home decor finds, reading nonfiction books, and watching way too many video essays on Youtube! I do not currently have the space to care for a client's pet in my own home (between my mom and I, there are already 3 dogs and 2 cats in one house!). I have years of experience house and pet sitting in others' homes, and always take care of their places even better than my own. If you would like me to grab the mail, check for packages, or do light maintenance housework (separate from your pets' needs) while I stay at your place for an overnight, just let me know and I'd be happy to discuss whether I am able to help!

About: Hello! I’m a student at ball state, and I grew up with 2/3 dogs always at home. I had to help with feeding, house sitting, cleaning up accidents, and walks! Some of my older pups needed medication so I have some tricks there. I’ve also house sat/puppy sat for family friends and love just relaxing with dogs! I’m a biggg cat lover, and we grew up with 3 of them. I’m a sucker for a cuddly cat, but I’ve also taken care of cats that don’t care about me and I respect that. I scan for normal liter box usage (cat pee is a problem if not cleaned!), fill, and wash water bowls! Either way I love animals, I’m looking to take my hometown experience to Rover and help your pets in Muncie(ish) area! :) I work part-time as an IT specialist, and am a college student. With remote work and limited classes I can make a lot of times work! I can plan around my classes gaps to stop by and take a little walk with your dog(s), stop by after work to hang out with them for the evening, and go in before work/school to make sure they get some morning stretches/potty break! I understand you’re trusting me inside your house, so I want you and your pets to be safe. Always lock doors going in and out is very important! Also, not touching your stuff, it’s not my business! For the pet care, I want to make sure they have their needs met and they are enriched. Playing with them, and allowing time for them to sniff while walking are important to me! I want to ensure your pet is in good hands by going the extra mile to give them all the love!

“Payton was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and Payton made me feel completely comfortable leaving my pup Louie with her, even when he got sick last minute and needed a house sitter instead. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand, sent lots of picture updates, and took him for a long walk so that he was worn out when I returned. I completely trusted her (a pharmacist!) to give my dog his meds as scheduled. Since then, we've used Payton for drop in visits as well. She's reliable, great with our pup, and as an added bonus - she left the house super clean after my dog ran through covered in mud. Highly recommend Payton!”

About: I grew up around untrained dogs, not afraid of any animal. I had two cats of my own and raised them from kittens so I’m great with cats!! I am nice and patient and have never been one for caging in animals unless it’s to travel to appointments, so your little loved ones will always be free to wander with me. I like to give them freedom to explore. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I like to play a lot and encourage activities. I try to put on interactive games and toys are highly encouraged to bring! I do freelance work so if I’m pet sitting your baby will be the number one priority! Open space apartment, I like to be outside a lot so I will spend a majority of time allowing your pet to be free and safe if they’re an outside animal. We have local shops within a mile that allow cats so if you’re open, I can allow your pet to go for outdoor time.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, because growing my family always had pets. I love animals and my family can rely on me when it comes to caring for their pets. Having pets and growing up around all sorts of animals has encouraged me to expand my knowledge and kindness to help other’s when it some to taking care of their pets. I’m comfortable around all dogs and cats. When I take care of pets I dedicate my time to care for all of them and their needs. My schedule does change a lot when I go ba k to school or during the summer time as well I at the moment I have part-time availability and can house sit and walk dogs. I will also take last minute bookings on the weekdays, and cancellations. I also travel quite a lot so i apologize in advance for my opening. When it comes to taking care of dogs and other animals, I make sure to take them out on the leash and try to get in at least two walks everyday, as well play with them so they’ll sleep well later on.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was little - from dogs and cats to reptiles and small pets. For almost a year now, I've been a volunteer with Midwest Pet Refuge, working hands-on with cats and a variety of small animals. I've fostered cats for the past 8 months, including newborn kittens who needed bottle-feeding from just a day old. I also have experience with rats, bunnies, guinea pigs, reptiles, and dogs, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. I'm patient, gentle, and genuinely love getting to know each animal as an individual. When I'm caring for your pets, they'll be treated like family - safe, loved, and cared for with experience you can trust. Pet care is an important part of my week, and I make sure to set aside dedicated time when I can be fully present and attentive with your animals. Dedicated Pet‑Care Days: - Sundays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM - Mondays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM - Tuesdays: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Thursdays: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM These are the days when I can focus entirely on your pets — keeping them comfortable, following their routines, and giving them the same gentle, family‑style care I give my own animals. If you need Pet-Care on different days or times, message me and I'll see if I can fit you in. I volunteer at Midwest Pet Refuge 3 days a week. Those days are dedicated to rescue work, so I typically don’t take on additional pet‑sitting during those times. Between my volunteer work, home life, and my scheduled pet‑sitting days, animals are at the heart of my weekly routine. The structure helps me stay reliable, consistent, and fully available for the pets in my care. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest. I treat every animal like family — following their routines, giving them attention the way they like it, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with shy or sensitive pets, and I always make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away.

I know It takes a lot of trust to let someone watch your precious fur babies and I would be more than honored to do so. I have always had such a strong bond with animals and my love for them continues to grow each and every day!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Muncie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Muncie on Rover is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $29 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 249 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Muncie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Muncie. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.

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.
