How does the two hour window work?
Your dog's walk will begin anytime during the guaranteed, two hour time frame. If your walk is scheduled between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, that means your dog’s walk can begin at any time between those two time frames. Just note that it won’t necessarily end within that time window, and the dog walker could begin their 20 minute walk for your dog at 2:50 PM meaning the walk will not end until...

We know the different types of dog walks can sometimes be confusing so allow us the chance to clarify things! Swifto provides 3 main types of GPS-tracked dog walks: repeating, sporadic, and last minute walks.
REPEATING WALKS
Repeating walks are when you have the same schedule every week. For example, 20 minute walks starting between 1-3 pm, every Monday through Friday. We provide consistent walkers for a consistent schedule...

Dog parks are a perfect opportunity for some dogs to get in exercise, socialize, and enjoy the great outdoors with their favorite dog walker! Swifto understands dogs have personalities of their own, just like us, so a dog park might not be right for everyone, but if you think your pet’s play styles, personality, and training are ready for some off-leash fun, Swifto is happy to oblige!
If you want your dog to go to the park...

We often get asked the question, “will I have the same dog walker every time?” so we’d like to explain a bit more about this and how it works!
We totally understand the bond between a dog walker and a dog, and so in general we always like to keep it as consistent as possible between the dog’s and their walkers.

We often get asked, “why do I need to schedule walks if I only want a meet and greet?” so we’d love to explain a bit more about this!
In short, we want to make sure the walker we send for the meet and greet will actually be available for the dog walks needed. In addition, there is no charge unless everything goes well during the meet and greet. So, you are not charged ahead of time for putting the walks in the system.

Definitions of what is considered to be “last minute” vary from person to person! We will have some clients who may reach out to us a month in advance to schedule dog walks and apologize that it is last minute (which it is not!) and others who may reach out an hour or two before a dog walk is needed to see if someone is available to walk their dog (which we are always more than happy to try and arrange :-)).
A last minute walk at...

Plus, every dog will have their personal preference and favorites.
