Mariah M.	Hi! I’m Mariah, a lifelong animal lover and reliable pet caregiver. Whether your pet needs a mid-day energy-burning walk or extra care and attention, I treat every dog like my own. I have worked as a dog walker/sitter for several years, caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. You can count on clear photo updates, punctual visits, and plenty of belly rubs!
McKayla T.	Hi! I’m McKayla! In the past 4 years, I have cared for a few dogs, a couple of pit bulls, a jack russel and a mastiff, in my family or for family friends. I love the joy dogs bring to the lives of those around them which inspired me to start dog walking! Outside of that, I’m an undergraduate student on a gap semester studying Forensic Psychology and an afterschool preschool teacher. My empathetic and compassionate personality leads me to work in areas where I care for others. I’m excited to utilize my skill set caring for your fur babies!
Noëlle Marie Z.	Hi! I’m Noëlle. I’ve spent years around dogs and cats of all sizes and ages —from energetic puppies to sweet seniors—through hands-on experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and helping care for animals in different settings. While I’ve never had a pet of my own, I’ve been trusted time and again to look after others’ beloved companions, and it’s become something I genuinely love doing whenever I have the chance. I’m here to give your pets the care and attention they need, when they need it. I’m patient, observant, and committed to understanding each pet’s unique personality, routine, and preferences. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle break, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. And of course, I’m happy to send as many photo updates as you’d like! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!
Isaiah H.	Hi! I’ve been around dogs and animals of all kinds my whole life! I was always the one training the family dogs and that has developed my deep love for animals. I currently have a golden retriever who is super high energy and super clingy! I take him on frequent walks as it’s something i enjoy because they deserve to exercise too!
Brenda W.	Hi! My name is Brenda. I originally started working for Wagz and Whiskerz on 8/8/22 Pat Blaney interviewed & hired me. I’ve been with Swifto ever since so I’ve been taking care of my furry friends for a while now. It’s been one of the best and most rewarding jobs I’ve ever had. I absolutely love being around animals. I just recently reached over 6,000 assignments which I’m so proud of! In the past I also worked for Tazzy & Boo in Cornelius and was a dog walker for them for about a year or so. I have 2 beautiful cats of my own and enjoy living in Huntersville, NC
Carissa H.	Hi! My name is Carissa, and I'm a freelance artist, avid gamer, and lifelong animal lover! As a Long Island native, moving to Brooklyn and being a dog walker has been a dream come true. Nothing recharges the creative batteries like stretching my legs, getting some fresh air, and spending time with dogs; my own little one included. Samwise, my throwback (dire) pomeranian, has been at my side for four years. The animal companion to my ranger, he's as keen, loyal, and stout-hearted as his namesake. He, and all the wonderful dogs that were part of my life growing up, have taught me that they're so much more than pets-- they're family. The epitome of unconditional love, they are deeply empathetic and ever true; deserving nothing short of our very best. As a walker, I strive to provide just that!
Dasha S.	Hi! My name is Dasha — I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog walker. I worked and volunteered in veterinary clinics and animal shelters, where I took care of cats, dogs, and especially senior pets who needed extra attention. I’m calm, responsible, and patient — I always try to understand each dog’s personality and make every walk safe, fun, and relaxing. I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring parks, and creating small happy moments for the dogs I care for. In addition to walks, I can provide gentle basic training, help socialize shy pets, and send photo updates so owners can see how much fun their dogs are having!
Emily S.	Hi! My name is Emily. I’ve been working with dogs since I was 8 years old doing various things such as dog sitting, walking, and even “grooming” some of my neighbors dogs. I have always wanted to do something with animals so I went away to grooming school when I was 19 and have been a groomer for 10 years now! I met the dog I currently have in grooming school. He and his dad (about 75 years of age) would come in every month for Buddys spa day. One day his dad told me that he had been diagnosed with cancer and wouldn’t have long to live so he asked if I would care for Buddy after he passed. Of course I said yes. I fell in love with this dog from the get go. He was a student dog. Which also means he was basically perfect on the table. I didn’t know exactly what I was saying yes to. After he passed, I took Buddy into my care and had no idea how much of a connection we would have! I lost my dad in 2021 and I knew Buddy knew what that felt like. The connection we share is stronger than any dog I have owned. We understand each other. He is my SOUL dog. I hope everyone gets to experience a soul dog at least once in their lives because there is nothing more beautiful!
Haley R.	Hi! My name is Haley, I’m a soon to be labor and delivery nurse and I’ve lived in Charlotte for about 5 years now! I am an animal lover, I grew up with many dogs and cats, and currently have 5 kitties of own. I love pet sitting and making sure my clients know their babies are well taken care of.
Lydia S.	Hi! My name is Lydia and I’m a fashion designer who loves dogs. I grew up with a goldendoodle and his chocolate lab best friend. I was also the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I know how important your pet is, and will look after them like they are my own. I am looking forward to making some four-legged friends!
Michael M.	Hi! My name is Mikey Mousaw and I just moved to NYC to pursue my passion in dramatic arts and musical theatre, but don't worry I will do my best not to sing to your dog, unless they would enjoy it :) That being said, moving away from family has been scary and somewhat isolating, and I think everyone can understand when I say that I miss my dog, so I'm hoping walking other friendly pets all throughout the NYC area, will fill the Mia (my dog's name) shaped hole in my heart. I have had my dog Mia since I was 12, she is a double doodle meaning that her mom was a labradoodle and her dad was a golden doodle. She is 9 years old and 54 pounds, but still thinks she's a 10 pound puppy. She is very bad on walks, pulling hard and sometimes moving erractically, so I am used to all types of walks. Easy and calm to crazy and wild! I hope we can connect, I would be thrilled to be chosen to walk your wonderful dog anytime you need :)
Monserrat R.	Hi! My name is Monserrat, I'm currently in Brooklyn College for film production. Caring for dogs is nothing new to me. It's always great to meet new dogs and get to know their amazing personalties!
Robyn S.	Hi! My name is Robyn Sawyer. I was born and raised in Charlotte, NC. I reside in Davidson, NC with my Husband and Son. I am an animal lover. We have two rescues, Night a Pug and Tillie a Dachshund. We also have multiple fish, two hermit crabs and a Leopard Gecko named Frito. I can't wait to care for your animals as well.
Bryana L.	Hi!! My name is Bryana. I grew up around dogs and have owned a few. I had a white boxer for 8 years he was the most hyper dog ever and would never leave my side. I genuinely love being around animals, especially dogs. As someone who has been an owner I understand the importance of making sure your pet is in the best care possible, I have been a pet sitter and dog walker previously and I treat the animals around me with the most care as if they were my own.
Kay B.	Hi, I am Kay! I am a corporate girly looking for my next chapter. I have had pets my whole life until our family cat passed away last year. I am also in a season of caretaking my mom as she ages and has more support needs. I do prefer pets in my life and am honored that you may choose me to love on your fur babies and I will care for them like I would my own.
Robert Y.	Hi, I am Robert. I have been a dog lover my whole life. Over the last 25 years I have owned a Miniature Schnauzer for 18 years and presently own as pictured Paul the Poodle for the past 7 years. Paul the Poodle is a rescue dog with special needs. He needs nurturing with anxiety issues and he has a sensitive digestive system. Meals are a special mix and have to be administered in small increments. My wife and I jointly own and love him. Outside of the dog world I am an avid record collector and D.J. Rest assured your dog will be safe and well taken care of as I do for my own.
Doris M.	Hi, I moved to Charlotte from Pennsylvania. I love animals of all kinds and always had a house full of pets! I've had small to large dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and fish. Also, I have had rabbits and ferrets. I enjoy meeting pets and figuring out their personalities and habits. They are unpredictable and fun!
Jodine P.	Hi, I'm Jodine and I am a huge animal lover. I have a fur baby of my own, Coconut, and he is a 2 year old shih tzu mix. I am enthusiastic, caring, reliable and energetic. My goal is always to make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.
Sarah V.	Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm happy to have joined the Swifto team. I've been around animals my entire life. I've owned dogs in the past, but currently have 3 cats. I have walked dogs in the past as well. Knowing that I'm coming into work to walk and meet furry new friends is something I really look forward to. It's something I find truly rewarding.
Christy D.	Hi, I’m Christy! I am deeply passionate about dogs and love spending my time keeping active, working hard, and giving pets the loving care they deserve. My heart has always belonged to dogs. I grew up with two high-maintenance Australian Shepherds, and loving them taught me so much about what makes dogs tick. From channeling high-energy working drives into fun outdoor adventures to providing the deep mental stimulation smart breeds crave. Caring for dogs isn't just a job for me; it's something I genuinely adore. Whether we're out on an energetic walk or settling in for an overnight stay, I bring total devotion, patience, and warmth to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home in my care!
