Welcome to Trusty Companion

Pet Sitting and Dog walking

Your Pet is Our Passion

Hello Humans and Furry ones!

I can't wait to be your pet's trusted companion and friend while you’re away or when we’re on the trail having the time of our life!

My name is Megan Hawthorne. I have been providing professional and affordable dog walking and pet sitting services in Asheville, NC since 2016 and have a lifetime of experience making dogs happy. I am looking forward to adding your pet to my repertoire of doggie/kitty friends!

Take a look at some of the Pet services I offer...

Dog Walking

I walk your pup one-on-one around the neighborhood with plenty of interaction and stimulation. I offer several walk length options – 15 minute, 30 minute, and 1 hour.

Overnight Pet Sitting

I stay in your home while you are away, where your pets are most comfortable. Unlike many pet sitting/house sitting services that only stay for 12 hours at night, I am able to go the extra mile. I essentially move in during the days you’re away and tailor my schedule to your pet’s schedule. So I am never away from the house more than a 3-5 hours at a time. I also do whatever needs to be done to keep the house happy too – water plants, collect mail, take out trash, you name it.

Cat Visits

It’s important to keep the kitties happy too! I pay them a visit once or twice daily or whatever frequency they prefer. It can be a quick 15 minute visit, 30 minute or an hour depending how much human attention they would like. Includes feeding, litter box scooping, playing etc.

What my clients say

"Megan is very communicative and always helps us feel happy that Cali is happy. She takes her on long walks and has been extremely patient with Cali's love for mud and water! We trust her with our pup and Cali is always happy when we return."
Dana A.
"Megan was great with Augie. She took him hiking and to the dog park, and sent pictures of a very happy dog to us. She’s easy to communicate with and kept our house exceptionally neat and clean. We will book her again in a heartbeat."
Elaina M.
"Megan is great at her job - reliable, professional, and great with our dog. As our regular walker (for about a year), she kept him interested with different walks and different adventures each week. 5 stars for sure!"

“The love of a dog is a pure thing. He gives you a trust which is total. You must not betray it.” – Michel Houellebecq
