Maia T.	Hello! I’m Maia, and I’m a lover of all animals. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and was gifted my first puppy, Jack, at just one year old! I’ve had dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, and fish over the years! I currently have two sweet kitties named Figaro and Mister Business. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a pet sitter and to get to know your sweet animals!
Brissell T.	Hello! My name is Brissell. I am a college student who is majoring in Social Work and I’ve always loved helping animals and being around animals. I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was young and taking care of them has always been a priority for me.
Jahnara L.	Hello! my name is Jahnara Lee I have been working with dogs since I was eighteen, I’m now Twenty-One! I have to fur babies myself and looking to show everyone’s dogs that same love and care!
Karla T.	Hello! My name is Karla, I am currently enrolled in a Veterinary program in hopes of becoming a Veterinary Technician some day. I’ve always had a deep passion for animals and that connection is what drives me to provide patient and joyful care for every animal. Whether it’s making sure they get the exercise they need or helping them feel safe and understood, I’m committed to treating each pet as if they were my own.
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! :)
Samantha C.	Hello! My name is Samantha and I would be honored to care for your pets. I am a dog mom myself so I know just how important they are in our lives. I will always communicate openly about what your pets are up to while giving them the utmost love, care, and attention according to your requests. :)
Zoey W.	Hello! My name is Zoey and I’m a recent graduate of the University of Georgia (I’m a big fan of all dogs and the dawgs!). I’ve always had a rescued Golden Retriever growing up and my family currently still has two. Ozzy is an 11 year old Golden Chow mix and is the lovable old man of the family. Lucy is our newest Golden who still maintains her puppy energy at 2. I love all things outdoorsy: especially long distance running which has been a passion of mine for 10 years. I also enjoy cooking and reading in my free time.
Alina L.	Hello! My names Alina, and I'm a lover of all animals all shapes and sizes :) I'm 18 and study psychology at City College, and am a proud dog mommy to a family of 3 personality filled Yorkies. :-) My 12 year old Princess stays full of energy, and loves to play with her two boys 6 year old Pollo and my year old Baby! (yes, his names Baby). The family used to be bigger, but unfortunately downsized when two of our babies recently passed due to Parvo. Growing up I've learned to view dogs and all animals more as family to me, rather than just a pet for me to own. When my two passed it truly felt as though I had lost siblings, or two really close friends. My goal is to build a connection with your dog (or dogs) strong enough to provide them with a safe and loving environment for our walks and time shared, and make them feel like they've found a new friend outside of home!
Justin R.	Hello, I am Justin from Brooklyn New York but raised in Atlanta Georgia. I’ve always had love for dogs from a very young age. My first friend was a Pitbull by the name of Max super protective and friendly soul. I’ve relocated back to New York to pursue a career in photography and film/production while also taking a love for psychology at BMCC. On my free time I enjoy creating music and spending time with pets, friends, and family. I’ve encountered Dogs of all sizes and many breeds but one thing that stays consistent is the love and loyalty they bring to people. I am here to reciprocate that love and loyalty back with great service, patience, and care. Thank you for your consideration and it would truly be an honor to be trusted with your dog looking forward to meeting building with them.
Crisleyda R.	Hello, I currently own a French bull dog that I adopted from my brother two years ago. He’s very active and requires a lot of special care. I have experience with walking large and small dogs all over New York City. My favorite part about working with dogs is when people see dogs, it puts a smile on their face. Owning a French bulldog, I’ve learned how different breeds are from each other. I look forward to getting to know your dog and building a relationship where I’m able learn from them.
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!
Aeris V.	Hello, I’m Aeris! I’m an all around animal lover who enjoys working with and taking care of animals of all kinds. I’ve grown up generally surrounded by dogs and cats and have grown to love their company. I live in Brooklyn where I generally spend my time with my pug and puggle, Stella and Dorothy. I like to spend my time drawing while snuggling my two fur babies. I’m fully committed to taking care of and walking your fur babies and making sure they get the attention they need.
Shandon F.	Hello, I’m Shandon. I began walking for Swifto in the summer of 2024 part time. Since then, I’ve gone mostly full time, visiting some pets regularly, and have now completed >1,300 walks! Having a rescue pitbull who is sweet but can be nervous around other dogs, I’m used to giving 100% care and attention on walks, for your pet’s safety, and the safety of others. I’m experienced with larger breeds, and great with smaller breeds, even if they have a big dog personality! Dogs and cats warm up to me very quickly, as they can tell I’m an animal person, and I do everything I can to make sure they’re content and comfortable. Happy pets are what I love about my job!
Alyssa J.	Hello, my name is Alyssa! In addition to previous experience working at a pet store, I have years of experience with dog-walking, pet-sitting, and working with a volunteer rescue organization. I have worked with all different breeds, from Chihuahua to Mastiff, and I am excited for the opportunity to meet you and your dog!
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.
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.

Georgina B.	Hello, my name is Georgie and looking after dogs is my true passion in life. I have lived in three different continents and now consider Manhattan my permanent home. I love art, pop culture and adventure/exploring (Probably just as much as your pup!) Looking after animals has always been a big part of my life; I grew up around dogs in my own household and others too, knowing it was my life's mission to build a career around it. I have a lot of experience with different breeds and also have been to pet training courses to further my abilities. I look forward to meeting you and your fluffy family members!
Jacqueline C.	Hello, my name is Jackie, I'm so glad to be part of the Swifto Dog walkers! I have been so fortunate to live my childhood dream of working with Animals for the past 20+ years in Animal Clinics from Veterinary Tech. to Managing the Dog Daycare/Kennel, which has given me the experience working with a variety of different breeds. In my spare time I also took on dog walking/pet sitting jobs which I really enjoyed. I have recently relocated to the New York area from Florida, but I do not mind the city life as I grew up in San Francisco, California. I currently have 3 pups, 2 Toy Poodles Rico and Rosie and our newest rescue a French Bulldog named Jaxson. My goals here are to continue with my passion for Animals thru working and volunteering and continuing with my hobbies of camping, kayaking, photography, hiking and reading.
