“James was a pleasure to work with! From a meet and greet before his first time sitting to check-ins with us at each visit, we loved having him taking care of our kitties. He was reliable, punctual, communicative, and we could tell he loved our babies as much as we do. Everything looked just as we left it when we returned and the cats hardly seemed to notice we were gone. Thank you, James!”
About: I’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time
About: I haven’t cared for others pets like this before, but I would absolutely love to start. I usually respond very quickly and I find myself to be reliable! I currently have a full time job during the week while I am home for the summer. However, I am very willing to be flexible during the week to come in the mornings and/or evenings depending on my schedule, and I am VERY willing to come sit over the weekends as I will be much more flexible! However you would like, but I would love to spend time getting to know your cats so they build trust and comfortability with me. They deserved to be loved even when their parents aren’t home!
“Michelle was great! She lives near our home and made her visits around the same time each day. We would definitely choose her again when we are away for a few days. Leonard was in good hands. She also sent many photos—she’s a good photographer too.”
“Lindsey is dependable and really cared how my pets were doing while I was away. My 8 cats had a great time with her and the pics were reassuring that I made the right decision leaving them in capable hands. Will definitely book with Lindsey again soon!!!”

I have cared for rescue dogs and have a rescue dog of my own so I understand many pets have special needs and I am willing to provide them. It is important to me that you and your pet feel confident in their care so you may both be worry free. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting and caring for your lovely animals !

About: passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for furry friends. I understand that every pup has their own personality and needs, and I strive to provide personalized attention and care to each dog I look after. I am a homemaker that does not work a set schedule so I can be flexible to assist with pet care anytime of day and night I always ask owners for the specific needs, rules, schedule of their pets because every pet is unique and have their own needs and different personalities
About: I cared for family dogs, cats & horses through childhood & my 20s. Here in Asheville, I've had two dogs (one at a time) for 13 years. I am attuned to safety & health first; then I focus on play/walking to provide fun & exercise for emotional, mental & physical stimulation. In addition to having food, water, shelter & a comfortable temperature, all pets need to feel safe, loved & respected. I am gentle, thorough, attentive, & caring, & I follow all instructions carefully. I have worked with puppies through senior dogs as well as my flighty, 52-lb. 6-yr-old reactive Pit Bull/Cane Corso rescue, whom I walk daily & hike with weekly. I've used the Behavior Adjustment & Doggy Dan training systems with this sweet companion, who had been abused & neglected before I adopted her at 14 months. I have done drop-in visits for friends for 10 yrs. & can give medications orally, in ears & as injections. Before a first service, I do a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend & learn about how your canine relates to people, other dogs, cats, squirrels & rabbits. Activiies include playing fetch, tug of war, food puzzles & your pup's favorites. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Also I'm free between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I am a fulltime pet care giver. At this time, I do not stay overnight with pets in my home or my clients' homes. Instead, I do 30-minute drop-in visits and 30-minute walks in clients' neighborhoods.
About: I enjoy creating relationships with dogs. Every dog deserves a quality life and sometimes we are too busy to give them what they deserve. I have owned dogs my whole life and am very comfortable taking them on walks and keeping them company. I will also work on leash training with your dog. I have lots of experience with rescues, and dogs of all kinds. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Overall, I can tire out your pet with long walks and play time (and cuddle time too, if needed!) I prioritize creating a trusting relationship with dogs so that not only will they be nourished physically, but also emotionally. Willing to work on tricks and training as well -- whatever is most important for you and your dog. I'm currently working part time, so I have lots of time for you and your dog! Happy to have your dog stay at my place as well. I have a fenced in yard with 2 of my own fur babies to keep yours company! They can run around together and get human attention too!
About: I have 4 years of professional animal care experience, and have grown up around dogs and cats. I’ve provided care for dogs, cats and reptiles. I’m comfortable working with animals with special needs. I currently work full-time on week days from 8-4. If you live within 10 minutes of West Asheville I am able to provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours. If you live further out, I can provide breaks every 8 hours. I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule and I have no pets of my own, so all of my attention can be on your fur babies!! I can’t currently offer boarding in my home as my roommate has a dog, but I am happy to come to your house. If needed, I can provide plant care during my stay, and will ensure you come home to a clean house and happy animals.
About: I am well versed in most animal behavior. Dogs have been a part of my life since I was 8 years old. I have also cared for Exotics, Farm Animals, all Domestics and even Elephants in South Africa! I feel comfortable with large dogs, skittish dogs, old dogs and everything else in-between. Dogs are no longer considered, "Just Dogs" they have become family members. When I am caring for a client's dog I put safety first. Of course I like to have fun with the dog and provide lots of love and attention. It' is important to me to gradually create a bond with your furry baby. I hope you will consider hiring me to care for your pet. I have a part time job that allows me flexibility and at times I can work from home. This gives me the opportunity to put your pet first. I have limited outdoor space but lots of space inside for play time. Because of my living situation I make sure each dog gets plenty of walks.
“We love leaving our sweet boy Umka with Kasidy because it gives us such a peace of mind to know that she will love and care for him just like we do. We love getting little photo updates of their time together and can tell she loves loving on him. Thank you so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover service for my two kitties. I am very pleased with how it worked out. Larry did a great job following directions for my cats care! He send me daily pictures and notes about them- fed them their dinner each night, checked on them, scooped the box and even brought in the mail. I will gladly use Larry again when I travel. Glad to find a nearby neighbor that’s a caring, responsible animal lover. Thanks Larry!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swannanoa
Kara was wonderful with my dog, Koa. She didn’t just stop by to let Koa out and feed her...she took extra time to give Koa a nice long walk and really paid attention to her unique personality. Kara clearly respected my dog's needs, making sure she was comfortable and cared for before leaving. She was also easy to communicate with, and it’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Swannanoa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Swannanoa 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.

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

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.
