Donesha M.	Hello There! I am a silly, kindhearted, loving person and of course I love animals! Fun fact: I have never owned a dog. During my childhood I have had my fair share with animals. I’ve had fish, frogs, box turtles, finger turtles (red ear sliders), snapping turtles, rabbits, cats and even blue velvet shrimp! I love the different personalities of the animals. I also love that I can have fun and even talk to the animals while providing safe and reliable services.
Lisvette P.	Hello there! My name is Lisvette, but you can call me Liz. I am the ultimate animal lover and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats. I have worked as a dog walker for several years, giving me the opportunity to develop strong skills when it comes to handling different types of dogs. 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!
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!
Gianmarco M.	Hello! I’m Gianmarco Murillo, and I’m a 22-year-old enthusiastic animal lover! I live in Jackson Heights, Queens, but I’m committed to commuting and exploring Manhattan to satisfy you and your adorable pet’s needs. I am a recent graduate who earned a bachelor’s degree in biology at Queens College. My dream is to become a zookeeper for the wildlife conservation society, but I love to spend time walking outside with our furry best friends. Currently, I’m a shelter support/dog volunteer at the ASPCA adoption shelter, which includes giving walks, giving water and bedding, picking up poop, and, of course, giving treats! In addition, I can interpret dog behavior, and recently I’ve learned how to equip dog harnesses and handle leashes correctly. I’m excited to apply that technique to your adorable companions. Even though I don’t personally have a dog, I do have experience in helping clients in my neighborhood with their pets (such as Toby in the image), and I’m super grateful I’ve met them and their pets! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet!
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!
Elisa Y.	Hello! My name is Elisa, and I have a deep passion for dogs and all animals, with lots of love and empathy. Growing up, my family cared for a dog who unfortunately had cancer, which sparked my passion for animal care, and I've also had the joy of caring for hamsters and a rabbit. I enjoy taking walks, whether it's alone or with my beloved 11-month-old puppy Milo, who brings so much happiness to my life. I treat every dog I care for like my own furry family member! Currently, I am doing online studies to become a Veterinary Assistant and earn my career diploma by the end of 2025. I am excited to share my love for animals and provide the best care for them!
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!
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! :)
Mary M.	Hello! My name is Mary, and I’m a passionate animal lover and a recent graduate from Appalachian State University, Class of ’24. For as long as I can remember, animals have held a special place in my heart, and I’ve always had a natural connection with them. I rescued my beloved dog, Nova, and we spent my college years together, creating countless cherished memories. Nova was more than just a pet; he was my best friend, my study buddy, and my constant companion. Although he lived a long and happy life, passing away at the age of 13, his memory continues to inspire me to share the love and care I gave him with other pets. As a dedicated and reliable dog walker, I understand how important it is to ensure your furry friend is happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Whether your dog needs a quick walk to stretch their legs or a longer adventure to burn off some energy, I’m here to provide the attention and care they deserve. I’m excited to meet your four-legged family members and provide them with the love, attention, and exercise they need to thrive. Let’s create some wonderful memories together—one walk at a time!
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. I have a very calm demeanor which can help ease stress for shy cats and fearful dogs. 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!
Kassidy H.	Hello, everyone. I am Kassidy. I am 22 years old and now own four dogs of my own. I would be your finest walker due to my patience, dedication, and concern for your pets' well-being.
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!

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.
