Swifto has been our trusted walking service for over 3 years, and I'll never look back. They were incredible through the pandemic, and frankly since the day we started using them. Carissa provides our dog such detailed attention, care and companionship. You can always tell your dogs experience with a person based on how they react to them when they walk through the door, and our Beca goes wild whenever she sees her. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

I would highly recommend Swifto to pet parents. I am the founder of a large NYC Animal Rescue, so I am in the animal business myself. Swifto was really great, and they walked my dogs for a year, before I moved from the area. We had an excellent steady walker with them for about 6 months. She was so attentive to my babies needs, and was super reliable and professional. One of my dogs is also pretty challenging ( she has intense leash aggression) and requires to wear a muzzle for safely reasons. I felt extremely comfortable having Chris take care of her, and being extra vigilant with her. I would recommend Swifto to anyone who is a neurotic dog parent, lol. Like me. More...

Swifto has been walking my stubborn bulldog for about 3 months now a few times per week, every week. Their app and website are easy to use and they are highly responsive from scheduling our initial Meet-and-Greet to everything else that followed. I met with Daniela B., who has been the only walker for my dog since day 1! This is unique to Swifto in my experience with other dog walking services, who assigned different walkers after the Meet-and-Greet. I appreciate this about Swifto because it allows for continuity of care and the opportunity to build a relationship with Daniela, who has been quick to learn about my dog's quirks, incredibly reliable and responsible. She has always arrived within the time frame I requested to walk my dog and made herself available for dog-sitting on occasion. I am grateful to have found Daniela and that a service like Swifto exists. Thank you for maintaining your standards in screening and selecting your walkers. More...

I recenly left my very beloved dog for a week and hired SWIFTO so that he could stay in his own surroundings in my apartment where I knew he would be happiest. For seven days, four times a day, I received a detailed update along with a photo of our Mason, and it allowed me to enjoy our vacation knowing he was well looked after. Although a few hiccups to be expected in any business, texts were answered promptly, professionally and action taken to ensure Mason was well taken care of. Truly a find - and I own a veterinary hospital so my standards are high. A fabulous and much needed service - thank you to the SWIFTO TEAM. More...

Swifto is a great place to work. You walk one dog at a time, and set your own schedule, making it easy to do either as a second part-time job or as a full time job. You have repeating walks as your regular schedule, and can pick up one-time walks in addition. Management is easily accessible by text or via the app. This is a great gig for someone who loves dogs and prefers walking and being outdoors to sitting behind a desk. More...

I use swifto for weekly walks of my pup, Champ and I couldn’t speak more highly of the service. Champ loves his walker, Jesus, who takes him on long strolls along the East River just so Champ can chase the ducks. Jesus is always on time and is very professional. I can also track their progress on the Swifto app and schedule/reschedule walks with ease. If you need a walker in Brooklyn, give Swifto a try and ask for Jesus. More...

I had the great opportunity to work for Swifto Dog Walking in 2019. I will never forget the wonderful work experience that I had working for such a great company. They treat you with respect and work within your schedule so that you can have flexibility in your daily life. I loved walking so many wonderful and beautiful dogs (and cat sitting too). It didn't even feel like working, every day is a wonderful experience, you get to meet wonderful pet owners, you get to see so many new places, I was able to even learned more about Manhattan and Brooklyn's history and great places as a result of walking dogs. And you get to meet the most ADORABLE DOGS, for real. I love the part where I can send pictures and text messages to the owner as I walk their pets. Is a really very rewarding job and l loved every second of it. I will never forget how wonderful and fun it was. I moved to New Jersey but if Swifto ever comes to New Jersey you better believe it that I will re-apply to work for them again. If you have a dog or cat and need pet care, Swifto is the place to contact, they are insured and all employees are background checked and cleared to care for your wonderful family member. More...

I worked for Swifto back in 2017. I was a walker in the Brooklyn area. Most of the clients were good and a pleasure to work for. The company itself not so much. The pay you made for the amount of time you put in was not reasonable. Clients would complain to me about the prices, which I had no control over. When I moved out of Brooklyn to the Upper West Side, they refused to help me find new clients closer to where I lived, so I ended up traveling a total of 1.5 hours one way just to get to my walks in brooklyn, more if the trains were down. Overall, the clients were a pleasure to work with, but working for this company was a pain and not something I want to do again. More...

Providing the best possible experience for our clients and their doggies through our highly trained, professional, and loving dog walkers!

We love being able to go on adventures with pups across NYC and Miami!

We've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. We've worked with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical issues, and we love them all! All of our walkers are background checked, insured, bonded, highly trained. We personally select them from a huge pool of candidates. They have to pass three interviews and a training day in order to start working with us.

Services

We provide private dog walking services starting at 20 minute dog walks and going all the way up to 4 hour visits. We also provide pick-ups and drop-offs, puppy visits and more.

Our cat visits include: feeding, changing the litter box, refilling the water, administering medication, playing, giving snuggles, love, and attention. We can also water your plans, turn on and off lights or bring in your mail! Our visits also include a complimentary meet and greet with the sitter, live text alerts when the visit starts and ends, and a summary message alongside adorable photos from your sitter saying how the visit went!

Extended dog sitting is one of the many services Swifto offers and is when the dog sitter will be with your dog for the entire duration of the visit, whether this be for 2 hours or 5 hours.
