“Neil was great! He dog sat for one of our dogs over the weekend, sent multiple pictures every day and took him on walks. Came home and our house was just the way we had left it. Will definitely use Neil again!!”


About: Hey there, friends! My name is Morgan and can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet! I have over 20 yrs experience fostering, boarding, and house sitting, as well as volunteering with animal shelters. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs, routines, and quirks. I know our pets are family, so we’ll treat yours with the same love and care we’d want for our own. My baby is currently very young, so before booking, I’ll need to make sure your pet is comfortable and safe around babies and young children. I’m happy to chat about your pet’s temperament and any specific needs to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I work from home 5 days a week and rarely do anything on the weekends (we’re homebodies!), so I’m here all day to play with your pet and take them out regularly! We have a big fenced in yard and pups will have plenty of free space outside to play. Our dog is a little loud because she’s hard of hearing and will act a little tough at first with a tiny growl (hey! She’s been my baby since I bottle fed her at 5 weeks, she’s gotta protect her fam) and she will bark for awhile but she gets used to every pet she’s been around in a matter of minutes. Never had any fights or incidents with her. We just ask that if your animal has any aggressive tendencies, to please consider other options or contact me for a meet and greet to see if we make a good fit. I’m here to play with your pet during the day and take them out/feed them/give them treats as much as needed. I do ask that you be as honest as possible about your pet’s potty-training issues (if any) and temperament/energy levels - we want them to be comfortable with us but we also have to look out for our kiddo. I can assure you though, your furbaby will be in the best of hands and may even end up coming home with a few new tricks to show off!! XO - M & B
“Heather was the perfect sitter for our senior dog. Very attentive, lots of feedback while we were out of town…exactly what we needed. I would trust her again - definitely recommend her!”

About: I’m an animal lover who’s taken care of pets for over 20 years! Our family has two sweet dogs and two cats. I’m a freelance filmmaker and also teach, but have free time on my hands that I’d love to fill with fresh air, exercise and playtime with your pets! I have full availability currently and am accepting both one-time and regular clients. Looking for new clients, and would love to be a part of your pet care team! I’m safety oriented and always want to ensure your pets feels safe and loved. I always double check that doors and gates are secured before I leave, and dogs are always leashed on walks, etc. I’m tall and strong and can handle even the most rambunctious, oversized breed.
“Our second time having Blair stay at our home and care for our pup. We'll continue to use her services whenever/for as long as she's available. She's polite and communicative, clearly enjoys spending time with our dog, and leaves our home tidy and clean.”

“Sara house sat my older dog for 5 days. It was a good experience for me- she communicated well, sent pics, dog was happy, and my house was clean when I returned. I would not hesitate to call on her again for future needs.”


“Ava has been very caring and patient with our anxious pup, Eola. She took pictures during house sitting that allowed my partner and I to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Ava has great communication and left the house clean and tidy. She even stripped the mattress before leaving. Thank you!”

“Laura was wonderful with our dog and 2 cats! Luca is very large and still a puppy, so, it’s not always easy with that combination! Laura was patient and kind! Would definitely like to use her again!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bird. I had my own pet sitting side business while I was in college in Tampa and have missed I ever since I moved!! I am currently looking to switch careers so my appointment book will be pretty open in the near future. I'd love for this to develop into my full time job. I am currently renting so I'm not offering boarding services. But I'm offering drop in visits not only to walk, feed, and clean up after pets but to spend some time with them so they are not lonely

“Thyra was awesome with my dogs! I could tell she spent a lot of time focused on them and she left my house cleaner than she found it. Sent lots of photos/updates too. :)”


About: Hey there, I'm Julie! I've provided loving care to all sorts of animals, and while I'm new to Rover, I'm certainly not new to caring for fur babies or house sitting! I have two dogs and a cat of my own, and I've been a nanny for almost a decade, so nurturing and caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. I've adored animals of all kinds since I was little. Growing up, my family had a dog and three cats, along with hamsters, reptiles, fish, birds, and more! I’ve always felt a special connection with animals, and sometimes find it easier to understand them than people. ❤️ As a pet sitter, my goal is to make your pets feel like they're part of my own little pack. I want them to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pup needs long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, and mental stimulation, or prefers leisurely strolls, belly rubs, and snuggling on the couch, I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and making sure their individual needs are met. I also have a good general understanding of dog training, first aid, canine body language, and caring for reactive or higher-needs animals. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to be patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. I want to build trust at their pace and give them the kind of thoughtful, individualized care that helps them feel at ease. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pets in someone else's care, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your home with respect, follow your pets' usual routines as closely as possible, and keep you updated so you can feel confident they're in loving hands. My goal is for your pets to feel like they have a friend staying with them, not just a sitter! **I am work as a house cleaner, so if you want to add that to your service, please let me know!** I am currently working as a ceramic artist, so I have a lot of freedom in creating my schedule based on your house sitting / pet care needs. I work remote 4 hours per week, and work in the River Arts District 4 hours per week on Wednesdays. The rest of the time I work out of my studio in the RAD which can happen whenever! Having a flexible schedule means I take the time to provide ample potty and outdoor breaks, playtime, and cuddles for your fur babies! I pride myself on safety and keeping your pets comfortable and at ease. I will keep off limit foods/items out of reach, and have a lot of awareness around things in the home or outside that could be dangerous. If something comes up and I am unsure on how you'd like it to be handled, I will contact you and keep you informed. I am not a forgetful person and am meticulous about safety and keeping your home secure. I take my time to clean up after myself and will leave your home clean and tidy.
About: I have always grown up with animals and have been a dependable fur-baby sitter! I watch my neighbors animals, (even fish) have stayed overnight in homes to watch animals. I am also comfortable with senior/puppy care as well as bath time & feeding routines. I am currently full time with my career & do petsitting on the side. I usually have flexible availability in my schedule & can be needed for last minutes as well! Im currently available for M-Fri (times can vary so we can discuss further for each booking to see if it’s a good fit!) If you need weekend availability please let me know & I am usually available! I can also provide a work schedule so we can figure out the perfect time for me to watch your animal! (If you are looking for a boarding service) I have 2 VERY friendly puppies (they are large, pit-bull & great dane) & 2 friendly cats who will offer company to your fur baby if they are well behaved with other cats/dogs! If they prefer to be alone, I can watch them in the comfort of your home! We have plenty of yard space & plenty of activities & toys to play with if you choose to board them with me. We have my dogs on an invisible fence at this time, so our yard is not completely fenced in.
“Johnny was incredible! He took great care of our dog while we were gone for over a week. He took excellent care of our home and sent the perfect amount of pictures and check ins. We will definitely have him again in the future!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals from dogs and cats to chickens and so caring for pets has been second nature for as long as I can remember. As an adult, I have volunteered at multiple animal rescue centers and was able to rescue and raise 2 wonderful dogs who were a huge part of our lives until they passed. More recently, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter through TrustedHouseSitters, where homeowners regularly rely on me to care for both their homes and their beloved animals while they’re away. Whether your pet needs dedicated supervision, routine medications, or overnight care, I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I’d give my own. What I Offer Active Dog Walking All Ages & Sizes: Comfortable handling everything from high-energy puppies to large dogs up to 110 pounds. Specialized Care: Experienced in oral and topical medication administration, house sitting, and maintaining consistent daily schedules. Peace of Mind: Honest, dependable care for both your pets and your home while you're away. I'm currently working in a contract capacity and so my schedule is incredibly flexible! This means that I can adapt my work schedule around your pet's needs! I have a clean, safe, non-smoking, multi-level home in Asheville North Carolina with a small unfenced yard with my husband, Jeff. My home is close to trails and walking paths so me and your beloved pet will have plenty of opportunities to get our daily exercise. When your pet is staying in my home they will have free reign of the home if that's something they're accustomed to! However, if your furry friend has limitations such as crate training requirements, we can certainly accommodate that too! I currently have no other pets, so your pet would be king or queen of the house during thier stay!
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have been helping my mom with her dog sitting for half my life. I’ve also helped out family friends with check-ins, walks, and overnights! I’m currently at college and looking for some work to fill up my routine, I also miss my dogs and cat at home so I know helping care for others is what I need! I’m here to make sure your pet is fed and happy! I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible to give them comfort, food and water, or medication if needed, provide walks, playtime, and all the attention! I’m able to watch their behavior so I can notice and changes if something were to be wrong, and treat them with kindness and patience, as if they were my own.
“Kristen and Charlie had a great weekend together! Kristen went above and beyond during her meet and greet to spend time with Charlie to ensure she would get along with Kristen. Kristen clearly communicated with me and sent regular check-ins and pictures throughout the weekend and I had a clear understanding that Charlie was being well taken care of. She left my apartment clean and took out the trash for me, which was very appreciated! I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone who was looking for a sitter and would absolutely rebook with her again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swannanoa
Anna was wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog and bird while staying in my home. She sent regular pictures and updates, and always checked in with questions when needed. Her care, communication, and attention to detail gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Anna and would happily have her care for my pets again!

Savannah is fantastic! She took excellent care of our dog and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well-loved while we were away. She kept us updated with plenty of photos, which gave us great peace of mind throughout our trip. It was clear our dog was enjoying her time and receiving wonderful care. I would highly recommend Savannah to my friends and family and would gladly trust her with our pet again.

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 Swannanoa 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 Swannanoa 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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.
