Lynn L.	Hello! I've been living and dog walking in our area for many years now and absolutely love it! It's always a bonus getting to know our clients as well as the pets I take care of. Our dogs are beagle mixes and with a vet as my significant other, we have a lot of fun working with animals regularly. Also have worked with gun dogs in the Wounded Warrior Program and trained two vizsla (bird) dogs in the past. Looking forward to taking care of your dogs and cats!
emily a.	Hello! My name is Emily! I am an avid animal lover and have had many types of pets: dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, ducks, etc. I currently own two cats, Poppy and Louis. I have an especially soft spot for our senior pets, as many of my pets have lived into their teens. I have two daughters. One graduated from NCSU in 2023 and the other will be a senior there next year. I have been a teacher in CMS for the last thirty years and have found those skills a perfect fit for pet sitting.
Macey H.	Hello! I am a 25 y/o registered nurse. I have worked in the ER for 3 years but just recently took a new job as a nurse at a hydration clinic. I am a huge animal lover! I have two cats of my own that I absolutely adore and would do anything for. I would love to own a dog but lead a very busy lifestyle, so I live vicariously through you to care for your dogs (and cats)!
Alan S.	Hello! I have lived in Charlotte for about 25 years, went to college at university ofSouth Carolina , and am semi- retired. Love spending time each day with my dogs hoffman and cheese (and our three cats too!). And also love getting out to see so many other pets in my neighborhood - can never have too many four legged friends! Love the flexibility it gives me so I have plenty of time for golf, grilling, and hanging with friends.
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 from Pace University. Reading, playing video games, and spending time with my two cats, Kirby and Leon, are some of my favorite past times. I also currently work as an Animal Care Tech in a cat cafe!
Aaliyah S.	Hello! I’m Aaliyah, a 21 year old Pre-vet student. I have always loved working with animals, as I grew up with farm animals in Puerto Rico. I currently have a toy Yorkie that was born on my bed almost a 9 years ago, her name is Nena and she is the smallest dog I have ever seen! I am studying to be a veterinarian during the nights and during the day I go to the gym with my sister, play with my dog in my backyard and currently I am taking language lessons with my younger sister for Korean. I have always been a dog owner, though I have also owned reptiles before, so I am very excited to meet and play with more dogs!
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!
Aleshia Z.	Hello! My name is Aleshia Zenee'. I was born in Washington, NC (family is still there) but grew up in Central Florida. I came back to NC around 2010 and went to college here. I graduated from UNCG but also attended Bennett College for Women for two years. I have three pets, my first little furry baby's name is Odie Houdini! He is 6 years old and a Jack Russell/Dachshund mix. Not to exaggerate, but he's literally the coolest dog on the planet. Fun fact about him, he has a gluten allergy and I didn't figure it out until he was 3! I am also a new, first time Cat-mom to Frankie and one of her kittens, Lymon! Fun fact about them: I rescued Frankie and fostered all of her kittens then kept one of them so she wouldn't be lonely. :-) My experience includes working in Dog Daycares, pet sitting, owning pets, and of course dog walking. I have taken care of pets all of my life and have always felt a connection to nature and animals. I'm even vegan! :-)It's my promise to you that I will treat your pet as my own!
Carly O.	Hello! My name is Carly and I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have had some sort of pet for as long as I can remember. I currently have four dogs of my own who are all rescues and they all mean the world to me. When I’m not pet sitting, I am a dancer and I am working towards a professional career!
Daniel V.	Hello! My name is Daniel, I live in Mooresville and I have a love for all animals. I've grown up with mostly dogs all my life and love working with them. I currently have two dogs, a small mix breed and a greyhound. My philosophy is to treat people's dogs how I would want my own to be treated, so I put emphasis on care and following directions. I am very careful to make sure nothing happens to another's pets. And of course, I love to play with them. I enjoy making sure that the dogs are happy and healthy!
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! :)
Stephanie D.	Hello! My name is Stephanie De La Cruz Diaz. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has continued to grow even more. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the world of dog walking and pet sitting. I have four pets: two dogs and two cats, and they mean the world to me. They bring so much joy into my life and seeing their faces always brightens my day. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your furry friends and ensuring they are happy and healthy. I have 5+ years of experience in dog walking and sitting and my experience in pet care is from having my own pets, caring for family, friends, and neighbors pets. I have experience working with dog and cats of various sizes, breeds, and ages. I also have prior training in working with pets who have separation anxiety, pets who are blind, deaf, timid, and pets who do not get along with other animals. I am a senior in college working towards my degree in eduction and in my spare time I love to paint and learn new languages. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
Wendy M.	Hello! My name is Wendy and I have always been a huge animal lover. I grew up with dogs and cats and birds and bunnies and all kinds of pets. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 3 kids and 2 fur babies. I have a huge mastiff mix named Rufus that thinks he’s a lap dog and a sweet lab mix named Millie that my kids adore. My house can be a bit loud and crazy so I love to escape on long dog walks :-)
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!
Jessica B.	Hello! My names Jess and I'm from Australia. I've always had dogs growing up and love spending time with animals and going on outdoor adventures with them! In my free time I love going to parks and doing art.

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!
Rebecca W.	Hello, I'm Rebecca and I love spending time with animals. I look forward to keeping your pets active and cared for during our time together!
