“Sarah was extremely easy to work with and Jasper had a great time with her dog Jimmy and her family. Communication was excellent and Jasper loved his time at her home!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitters! I can’t recommend them enough. I received ample updates and they so kindly went with the flow when I experienced flight delays. Rufus had the best time ever!”
“Megan and Erika took excellent care of my dogs and I highly recommend them as sitters. Their home is perfectly set up for dogs and the place is cute, clean, and well maintained. Communication was excellent throughout the stay and my dogs were happy. I will use them again.”
“Kali was absolutely amazing! We have brought our dog to her twice now and she has had a blast every time! She is extremely flexible and takes amazing care of our dog! I could not recommend Kali more!”
“Mary is the best sitter we’ve found in Asheville. She is quick to communicate, sends plenty of thoughtful pictures and has a large space for the dogs to play outside. She gave my dogs ample walks and they got along well with her two sweet dogs. 11/10”
“Sophie had a great time with Alexis and Addy! I got pictures and updates from Alexis daily on how Sophie was doing which was such a relief for me. Sophie seemed very relaxed and at home during her stay and I will definitely book her again! Wag on?”
“Liz and Logan were such amazing pet sitters! We booked with them a couple weeks before our trip and quickly arranged a meet up to ensure everyone got along. I was thrilled to find a sitter nearby that would take our pup for 12 days with such short notice. Our dog was so well taken care of and we got updates the entire time. I love how they work from home and have a fenced in yard, it was nice to know they were spending lots of time together. They even allowed him on furniture and to sleep in bed with them. I would highly recommend them for any of your pet needs!”
“100⭐️ Our girls stayed for a week and were in heaven! Playing all day, long walks, and snuggles in the bed! My dog mom heart is beyond grateful for Alyssa & Brian! They’ve made an incredible home dedicated to their love of pets. They even taught our lab to use the auto ball thrower in 2 hours where I’ve been trying for months! Alyssa & Brian are incredible! I trust you both so much & appreciate all the love you give our girls! 🐾”
“Elizabeth was amazing with Tex! I got daily updates and Tex seemed to really enjoy himself at their home. Communication was very easy from a meet and greet beforehand, to drop off, updated throughout his stay, and pick up. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you need a stress free place for your pet to stay while you’re away!”
“Bingo had another great experience with Charlene. She is kind and reliable. Her house is definitely a hub for pup activity as she hosts multiple dogs at once. This is perfect for social dogs who enjoy canine and human company alike. She took good care of Bingo and we're grateful for her help.”
“This was our second time using Robin, and she is truly fantastic! She previously took wonderful care of another pet of ours, so we already knew we were leaving our pup in the absolute best hands. From start to finish, she was a great communicator—always quick to reply, clear, and incredibly easy to coordinate with. She is also amazing with updates; we received regular photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind and let us see just how much fun was being had. Their setup is absolutely perfect. They have a great fenced-in yard that offers plenty of secure space to run around. Plus, their own small, friendly, and playful dog, Winston, was the perfect host. He is so sweet and playful, making the stay feel like a fun puppy vacation. We love having a trusted, reliable go-to sitter and will absolutely continue booking with her.”
“Paul & family were great! We needed a sitter for Gator on short notice, and he was so attentive and caring. He kept us updated throughout and made sure Gator was comfortable and having a good time. We really appreciated the communication and knowing Gator was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Paul!”
“Haley was terrific! Very very accommodating and knowledgeable about dogs. My dog absolutely had a great time. Loved Haley and clearly was in great shape when I came to pick her up. I would definitely use Haley again!”
“Thank you so much to Jill for taking care of Jean. I have never met anyone more responsible and reliable with whom I could leave my dog. No complaints, my dog loved it and would be happy to ask Jill's help many more times in the future :)”
About: Hey! I'm Sadie. I've lived in West Asheville for about 4 years now. I'm a former overnight pet sitter and dog trainer/handler at Evolutionary K9 in North GA. As well as a former Kennel Tech at a Daycare/Boarding & Grooming spot in Black Mountain. I have taken classes on Dog Cognition + Emotion through Duke University. I love animals and have my own 9 year old Siberian Husky who I spend most of my time with when I'm not working. I've been in animal care this for roughly 10 years. I have taken care of young dogs, senior dogs, dogs/cats with special needs, goats, snakes etc and would love to give your babe the care they need when you're away. I'm typically available for drop by walks, visits, boarding and general care throughout the week and weekends dependent on my work schedule. Thanks and look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have my own pup at home so I do not do overnight stays but I do boarding and I am flexible throughout the week/weekends dependent on my work schedule. I would be happy to drop by and feed, walk and/or play with your pets while you're at work, etc. (My husky is an escape artist so I am extremely careful and mindful when walking anyone's pets!)
About: I have been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats, and birds. When I moved to the U.S, I lived in the country side with many dogs and thousand of birds (literally). Now, I have a little Chihuahua mix; he is like my baby. I also help my friends sitting their dogs when they are out of town. I love animals; I like to play with them and give them a lot of attention. I have experience administering medication to pets either orally or injectable . I am educated and trustful person who will respect your home and your pets. I am able to pass a background check if it is required. I have a cellphone and my own car. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone. Our jobs are very flexible, which means we can take your dog for walks during the day. I have a very friendly old Chihuahua. My house is big, comfy and very clean. It's at the end of a cul-de-sac, so there's no traffic.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swannanoa
Rudy loves Jackie and Sammy. When we drop him off he is totally comfortable in their space and wants to go to the back yard right away where he runs around and loves to sunbathe. They update us several times during the day when they walk him and also during chill time. They treat him like he is their dog and thats why we chose them to watch him while we are away.
Chris was a fabulous sitter for our dog when we were away for vacation. We were anxious about leaving our dog for the first time, but Chris made it less stressful, and was very communicative and kind. It was so comforting to see that our dog was having such a fun and comfortable weekend with him! We would recommend his care to a friend, and will be booking with him again when we go out of town.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Swannanoa is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $73 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 of October 2026, there are 350 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Swannanoa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Swannanoa can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Swannanoa home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Swannanoa.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Swannanoa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
