Pet Boarding Swannanoa

“Cindy took excellent care of my dog. I was in beautiful Asheville for a wedding and needed some last-minute help boarding my little angel. Cindy was extremely accommodating and excited to spend the weekend with her. She sent photos and updates everyday. Would definitely recommend.”

“Allison was great with Kevin and made us feel at ease on our vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures and details about their day, and made him feel right at home. I’d highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”

“Nate and Bilbo are fantastic! My two Boston terriers stayed with Nate for 10 days and its clear they had a great time. I got awesome pictures every day and Nate responded quickly to all of my texts. I will definitely be using Nate's services again. I can't say enough good things and I highly recommend him!”

About: Hello! My Name is Justin Gardner. I have resided on a large tract of pristine farm land located 20 miles north of Asheville, sitting perfectly between Weaverville and Marshall. For anyone looking to give their dog a true country getaway, this is a paradise. If your pup doesn't always get the chance to fully experience nature, our wide-open spaces to explore and a fully fenced-off yard offer the ultimate safe freedom. Dogs have been a central part of my life since early childhood, and that lifelong passion continues today with our own beloved resident dogs. We understand dog behavior, respect their individual routines, and treat every guest like a member of the family. Whether your dog loves to run wide-open spaces or just wants to sniff the mountain air and lounge on the porch, they will find their perfect rhythm here. Working primarily from home allows me to provide attentive, full-time care and regular outdoor exercise. I can host overnight (Short or Long term) boarding seamlessly as long as owners provide their dog's personal items and necessary accommodations, allowing your pup to enjoy a safe, country retreat with all the comforts of home. Safety and socialization go hand-in-hand here. My dog Rocco, a friendly Catahoula Leopard Hound, has six years of excellent experience interacting with other dogs and is always eager to welcome new playmates. Playtime in our fully fenced yard is entirely supervised, and I can easily crate your dog for meals or bedtime to ensure a structured, safe stay.

“Adaira is incredible! She is calm and open. We were prepared to meet their other two dogs and Koda then joined the pack for 10 days! We quickly built trust and understanding. She even gave him some flair on Halloween and did a photo shoot 🎃 I truly cannot recommend her services enough. Koda got to go on plenty of adventures. I am so grateful! He loves her much. He made sure to say goodbye before he hopped in the car. Being such a smart dog, I can tell how much rapport they built.”

About: I've always been an animal lover and grew up with 5 cats. I'd visit my grandparents farm over the summer and fell in love with the bunnies. But my biggest love is dogs. I've cared for my high energy dog for the past 13 years and am patient with shy and skittish dogs and love going for walks with furry friends in all weather. I'm an avid hiker and runner (just did a marathon in June) and can keep your high energy dog busy. I'm a former lawyer, reliable and professional. I'm generally available in the daytime and early afternoon, but happy to accommodate existing clients going out of town. I'm experienced with different breed dogs from beagles to Golden retrievers. I've taken training classes with my dog and understand some practical tips for getting dogs to feel comfortable and safe. Also, I have experience administering medications to dogs.

About: Lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and just about any four-legged friend! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets and homes, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m an active person who loves getting outside, so whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks, playing fetch, swimming, hiking local trails, or going on new adventures, I’m happy to match their energy and personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from laid-back lap dogs to high-energy adventure companions—and I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday and have a flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday potty break, an afternoon adventure, or an evening check-in, I’m here to provide dependable, loving care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I live on a large property with plenty of room for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. We also have quiet dirt roads that are perfect for walks. For dogs who love getting out and about, I’m happy to visit local parks and trails like Richmond Hill, the River Arts District Greenway, Bent Creek, and other areas throughout North and West Asheville—always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your dog’s personality and activity level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, active, and well cared for.

“Sonya Lyn was fantastic with Daisy. I will definitely be calling her the next time I need someone to care for my dog. She's very bubbly and you can tell how much she loves dogs. She's comfortable caring for them and knows how to accommodate each unique personality. She took Daisy on long trail walks that she loved! Sonya Lyn sends great photos too, so you can be sure your pup is doing well and in good care. Thank you Sonya Lyn!”

“I highly recommend Chelsea as a dog sitter! She took amazing care of my pups, keeping them happy, safe, and well-loved while I was away. Chelsea is reliable, friendly, and kept my mind as ease. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

Shannon D.

“Nikki was beyond amazing with her care for our pup! Her home and property are a dog’s dream for endless running and outdoor time. She also made sure Asha got lots of great hikes on the nearby trails! Also, her dog is a wonderful play buddy! Nikki even gave us some goodies from her garden when we arrived and then made sure Asha got an early morning trail hike/romp early in the morning before we picked her up. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our fur-kid. Thank you, Nikki!!”

Mike O.

“I left my babies for a week in the caring hands of Max and at all times I felt they were safe, loved, and well supervised. Max's laid back attitude put the doggies at ease and I'll admit, I was a little annoyed when they wouldn't come to me at pick up! LOL! That just speaks volumes about Max. I wouldn't hesitate leaving my doggies with Max again! Thank you so much!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Emma is absolutely great super caring for my 7 month old German Shepherd. My pup left happy and exhausted from playing and having fun even left with a new toy! Will definitely be coming back next time I need to board my pup. Thanks so much for giving my pup a great first boarding experience.”

Adrian R.
