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 my 5,200 visit 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!
Chris R.	Hi! My name is Chris! I love all dogs. I currently am dad to a wonderful pittie/aussie Shepard named Nina Simone. outside of walking your amazing dogs I also do stand up comedy!
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!

Lisa M.	Hi! My name is, Lisa M. and I am a retired teacher of 30 years as well as a huge animal advocate and lover of all types and breeds. I laid eyes on my first fur baby decades ago at age 2. The joy animals bring to my heart caring for them, ever since, touches my soul in which giving back to as many beautiful pets is the highlight of my life. believe that I have a natural, blessed bond with animals. I believe in maintaining and giving as much love, compassion, caregiving, attention, kindness, organization and responsibilities to any animal I have the pleasure of coming into contact with under my care just as equally as I give unto my own personal fur babies whom I consider, my family. I look forward to caring for your fur baby in the near future. Sending much love and light to all. Thank you!
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.

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.

Milo L.	Hi, I'm Milo! I'm a dog person through and through and am excited to be your dog(s) new friend! I enjoy being active outdoors and love getting to give dogs the exploring, sniffing, exercise time they need so that owners can enjoy the companionship of a calm and satisfied pup after a busy day. I have owned a Pug myself and have also helped care for dogs of all shapes and sizes, from spunky herding breed pups to gentle senior shih tzus. I try to be attentive to each dog's needs, whether they prefer a slow sniffing walk or an active frolic together. I'm always trying to learn more about dog behavior and have experience in reinforcement-based dog training. As a dog walker, I'll keep an eye on the body language of surrounding dogs to avoid any unpleasant encounters, and can make sure your dog keeps up any good training habits you're working on together. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog!
