Alicia N.	Hi, I'm Alicia! I'm a huge animal lover that lives in Brooklyn. I've been around dogs all my life and I hope it stays that way. When I'm not working, I'm at home as a full time college student and mom. I have a min pin named Carmello who keeps me active. When the weather's nice I love taking long walks through the park with my son and min pin. Otherwise, I'm home relaxing and studying.
Daniel H.	I currently own two dogs, a Rottweiler and and lab mix, they both get great workouts and train to take commands daily. I take my neighbors dogs along with me on runs so that they can socialize and be comfortable around others.
Ivan H.	A life-long animal lover, I have always been the go-to for all of my family and friends' pet-sitting needs. Along with caring for animals since childhood, I have years of experience in the professional pet-care industry. Having loved my own german-shepherd for over a decade, I understand that our dogs are family more than anything, and will treat yours as such.
Hava S.	Dog enthusiast with 10+ years of experience dog walking/sitting various breeds and sizes of dogs. I currently have a dog named Noodles who’s a 9 year old Maltese mix. When I’m not dog walking I enjoy running marathons and painting.
Anne S.	Greetings! I have a tremendous passion for all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. I have been walking, petsitting, and training dogs for over 10 years. I believe that there is nothing like the relationship between a dog and their human. Being able to work with dogs and their owners for a living is one of my greatest joys. Before our very first walk, I begin by finding out your preferences and the type of style and care that is best suited for your dog. Building a rapport and establishing trust with you and your doggie is of paramount importance to me. During our meet and greet, I encourage you to share with me details about your dog's personality, behaviors, any triggers, and/or specific needs they might have. I look forward to working with you, and your best friend!
Andrew K.	Hello everyone! My name is Andrew and I love dogs and have for my entire life. Ever since I was 6 years old I have been taking care and living with dogs. Throughout my life have owned 3 dogs so far, one mini dashound and 2 pitbull-lab mixes. The dashound is named Romeo and the lab mixes are Pheonix and Dakota. While they all live with my family now, all of them are doing well and I still see them from time-to-time. I can bond with any dog no matter how shy and I will go above and beyond to provide you and your dog with whatever is requested. Big or small I will love your dog just the same. I look forward to meeting your special pup!
Stacey S.	Hello everyone, my name is Stacey but I go by my middle name, Dayanara! My pronouns are She/Her, I am currently eighteen years old.

The photo you see is one of my closest friend’s dog who is a coten de tulear. From time to time I help her out with dog sitting and dog walking. I also do the same for my aunt's american pitbull! I also help my other friend’s dogs out when I get the chance. I have my own cat and as well a big cat lover as much as a dog lover. Outside of dog walking I am a creative artist. Some of my hobbies are writing poetry, videography/filmmaking, kickboxing, and currently in the works of making a documentary of my own about BIPOC creatives in NYC!

I have rescued cats and cared for them until I found the perfect loving owner for them. I am looking forward to meeting your lovely pets!
Sabine E.	Hello! It has been a longstanding desire of mine to work in the veterinary field since I have always loved animals and been passionate about assisting them. I've had experience working with animals of various sizes and temperaments, and I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats. I presently hold both a veterinary assistant certification from Animal Behavior College and a biology bachelor's degree. Reading, playing video games, and spending time with my two cats, Kirby and Leon, are some of my favorite past times.
Grace B.	Hello! I’m Grace, and I just moved to the Upper East Side after graduating from The University of Texas, but I grew up in the Washington DC area, so I am an East Coaster at heart. I grew up with multiple dogs in the house, many of them rescues, and volunteered at the local rescue foundation where my family adopted two of our dogs. Maverick is the orange-spotted cutie in my picture. I am comfortable with a variety of dogs and temperaments, and I adore them all. I really missed the puppy love during college, and I am excited to meet new pups in NYC!
Kori H.	Hello! My name is Kori, and I'm originally from Texas. I just recently moved to New York with my partner and two precious dogs (an Australian Shepard mix and a Doxin mix) Bean, my Doxin mix, suffers from anxiety, which requires a lot of patience and care. Asher, my Australian shepherd mix, is allergic to food, which also involves a lot of care and attention. Both of my dogs have a daily routine of a 30-minute walk every morning and every evening. They also get to enjoy time with their friends at the dog park every other day. Having been around all different types of dogs since childhood, I've learned to be a responsible dog and pet owner from a very young age. Dogs offer unconditional love and are incredibly loyal animals; they deserve that in return. :) During my free time, I enjoy hiking, bike riding, painting, reading, writing, playing my guitar, and teaching my fur babies new tricks! I'm excited to be a new member of the Swifto team and get to work with other wonderful dog owners providing the best care possible to their fur babies! :)
Anaïs M.	Hello, I'm Anaïs. I have grown up my whole life with pets, whether it be dogs, bunnies, cats, or horses. The highlight of my day is taking care of animals and you will always find me outside making friends with them! I currently have my own cavalier king charles at home and I would do anything for him. I can guarantee you I would do just as much for yours!
Noah H.	Hello, I’m Noah! I’ve worked with animals my entire life, from volunteer work to fostering pets and injured wildlife, and I’m on my path towards earning my Vet Tech Certification! I’m excited for the opportunity to work with you and your furry friends!
Amanda A.	Hello, my name is Amanda and as a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand and empathize with pet owners and their concerns for reliable pet care. Since a child I have always been surrounded by dogs and puppies and have been the go-to person for friends and family when they need a pet-sitter or dog-walker.
Andres S.	Hello, My name is Andres. I'm an artist who received both an Associate and Bachelor degree from LaGuardia and Queens college. I consider myself to be a decent artist who took all sorts of different media. I used to own a dog, Beagle, who passed away last year in 2022. I have spent most of my time loving and caring for him since I can remember. I worked in a small part time job at Rover looking over customer’s pets. When I'm not on the job, I look after friends and family pets for the experience of meeting and greeting other breeds of pets.
Arturo V.	Hello, my name is Arturo. I have had a dog for more than 8 years, he goes with me everywhere, even on trips and it is an important part of my life. As a dog owner I know how important it is to know that your dog is in good hands. I am a musician, I love art in general, bike rides and exploring new places. I also like photography so at the end of each walk you will have cool photos of your dog.
Chloe C.	Hello, my name is Chloe and I love dogs! I am 22 years old and have been working with animals all my life. Whether it was taking care of family pets, or pet sitting for my neighbors, I have always enjoyed being around them! I have been with Swifto since 2021 and have completed over 1,695 dog walks in the last two years. I am comfortable working with any breed/size dog (I may be small but I don’t mind a challenge!) I grew up mostly around pitbulls (now one of my favorite type of dogs) but recently I adopted a chihuahua and have fallen in love with them! I currently have five chihuahuas. The first one, Pepper (the one with brown fur), is a girl who I rescued with my roommate. We then rescued another chihuahua, his name is Bean (the one with the white fur). To our surprise though, before Bean could be neutered, Pepper became pregnant and I became a mom to three more chihuahuas! The all grey one is Móle, the mostly grey with white and different colors is Picantè, and the one who looks like a copy of Bean is Falkor (like from The Never Ending Story.) I never thought I would have so many dogs in a short period of time, but I am very thankful for them! I learn new skills and tricks everyday from being with them that help me when it comes to dog walking and working with Swifto. I think dogs make us all better people and I would love to walk and get to know your dogs better!! (:
Davel R.	Hello, my name is Davel, and I look forward to meeting you and your dog. I have grown up with a variety of them, some I have owned, others through family. I enjoy my time with them and look for ways to continue this. As a recent college graduate, I assure you I am committed to the call when needed and will do my best to get the job done.
