“Issabella did a great job!! 5 out of 5 stars - highly recommend!! She is our #1 go-to for pet and house sitting. Timely, professional, courteous, communicated daily with us and we loved all the pictures showing our “furlittles” playing, snuggling and snoozing. Thank you, Issabella!! … Bing & Lilly can’t wait to see you again!! 😊”
“Jessie was great! She took great care of our dog and home. Highly recommend for your house sitting and pup sitting needs. Looking forward to having her back when we take our family vacation.”
“Heidi did a great job watching my 107 pound big boy. I was a little hesitant booking on this app again as I’ve had not the best experiences in the past with other sitters. However, I am glad I took the chance. Zeus was very well taken care of and I especially loved how well she was able to handle him when walking around.”
“Emma was amazing. We have three dogs and she kept me updated on each and provided me updates regarding our home (there were a lot of storms in the area). She was flexible with times and was open to extending her support should we want to extend our vacation a bit. I will 100% book with her again!”
About: I can take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My parents little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her. I've been taking care of my parents new puppy while they are away as well. I'm available at any time during the week including overnight hours. I'm currently unemployed and done with school. I'm typically able to go anywhere on short notice. I live in an apartment with my husband and it has a side door leading outside. The area is safe along with the neighborhood next door.
About: I began volunteering in an animal shelter with both cats and dogs when I was 8. I’ve continued ever since, and have been doing independent drop-in and overnight pet care for friends, family, and my community since I was 12. I prioritize maintaining care routines, animal enrichment, and ensuring that pups and cats and happy and safe. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in to say hello, or an overnight visit, I want to make sure pet parents know their animals are in loving hands. I’m currently a graduate student at Ball State, meaning I have plenty of availability in my schedule! I am consistently available before 12pm, and am also available evenings after 5pm. I will not be able to accommodate pets in my home due to my lease agreement, but I’m so excited to come to your pets!
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 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
About: Have had many dogs and cats in a city environment and many in a country environment. Been taking care of them since I could remember! Pretty flexible and open, I work from home. I live with my girlfriend who is also on rover. Just reach out and we can talk about it! I recently moved into a great neighborhood! There are plenty of dog owners in my area so you don’t have to worry about anything, we’re a big community!
About: I currently do not have a car but I will show up on the times I’m scheduled! My boyfriend may take me sometimes or my mom, they will not come into the house or anything while I’m working, just drop me off & leave! I’m available basically every single day! Feel free to send a message any time! I’m completely fine with exotic animals as well! Just let me know how to care for them :)<3 my schedule is pretty flexible! I would absolutely love to find repeat clients! I’d prefer if you was in Muncie as I currently do not have a car and would hate to make my rides drive out long distances! Either leave a note with the instructions or in a text is fine! I will always provide my phone number for any and all visits!
About: PSA: I do not offer boarding! Over the course of my life, I’ve been around and cared for animals. My friends have asked me to take care of mostly cats, but I’ve also looked after smaller/medium sized dogs, and a few different reptiles. I am good with dogs at almost any age, but especially older dogs. With cats, I can do just about any age! I’ve taken care of cats in my own home since I was 5. I’ve bathed cats, dogs, reptiles, and I can give necessary care if it’s needed! I currently have a very open schedule and am able to give animals proper attention! If I so happen to have plans, my calendar should be updated. I am also open to negotiate time, just contact me! Currently my little cat is more accustomed to the indoors and is not used to being around many other animals, because of this, it is preferable (and by preferable I mean I cannot sit for your animal in my home) that I sit in my client’s home! I would need to know the basics such as: where your pets food is, toys, cleaning supplies in case of emergencies, and any other special or necessary things you would like me to do regarding your animal (if there are any). On a side note: I am no official expert by any means, but I am one to be observant of your animals behavior. This of course means I understand when your animal needs food, wants to play, or needs to use the bathroom, but it also means that I can read emotions pretty well. I can read expressions of animals fairly well and I’m usually able to tell if something is bothering them. If you believe something is bothering them, please don’t hesitate to tell me as I will try my best to investigate! I believe animals show us what is wrong with them through their own signs of communication. If I’m able to help in anyway, I will!
“Payton was awesome! She sent me pics and updated me multiple times over the weekend. She was extremely easy to work with snd I will for sure use her again in the future. Thanks again Payton!”
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: Hello! My name is John my best friend is Shaggy, we welcome pets into our home! I work from home a lot so your pet is well cared for. I have a fenced yard and on nice days I open the patio doors so that they can go in and out as they please I know Shaggy loves that freedom to go outside any time and then come back in for shade, water and of course a nap. Overnight stay dogs get their own climatized room. Cats can protect the rest of the house (Doggie vacation from all the protection they know is their responsibility) We have a convenient location near BSU that's great for dog walks. 30 minute walks are available in my area at just .50 cents per minute and that includes waste removal, what a deal! Day care is awesome never again will your dog be bored at home alone. Tails are always wagging here! Book your stay or schedule a walk around the famous BSU duck pond for your fur babies. Rest assured they will be taken care of, I've loved dogs and cats for many, many years. I am currently semi-retired so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I always go outside with the pets so your pets are never left alone. I have a fenced yard attached to the backyard of my house with a privacy fence facing the road and a doggy portal so your doggy can see dog walkers at the roadside. (See photos)
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!
“Bella was GREAT with our pup! He can be a bit of a handful from time to time and she managed his weirdness extremely well. She left our home nice and tidy as well. Will definitely be asking her to watch George again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Muncie on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Muncie. 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 Muncie 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 Muncie 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
