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 :-)
Zitaima P.	Hello, I’m dynamic, friendly and responsible. I like music, animals, sports and fashion. Eager to meet you and future furry friends!
Justin R.	Hello, I am Justin from Brooklyn New York but raised in Atlanta Georgia. I’ve always had love for dogs from a very young age. My first friend was a Pitbull by the name of Max super protective and friendly soul. I’ve relocated back to New York to pursue a career in photography and film/production while also taking a love for psychology at BMCC. On my free time I enjoy creating music and spending time with pets, friends, and family. I’ve encountered Dogs of all sizes and many breeds but one thing that stays consistent is the love and loyalty they bring to people. I am here to reciprocate that love and loyalty back with great service, patience, and care. Thank you for your consideration and it would truly be an honor to be trusted with your dog looking forward to meeting building with 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!
Amanda A.	Hello, my name is Amanda and as a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand and empathize with pet owners and their concerns for reliable pet care. Since a child I have always been surrounded by dogs and puppies and have been the go-to person for friends and family when they need a pet-sitter or dog-walker.
Andres S.	Hello, My name is Andres. I'm an artist who received both an Associate and Bachelor degree from LaGuardia and Queens college. I consider myself to be a decent artist who took all sorts of different media. I used to own a dog, Beagle, who passed away last year in 2022. I have spent most of my time loving and caring for him since I can remember. I worked in a small part time job at Rover looking over customer’s pets. When I'm not on the job, I look after friends and family pets for the experience of meeting and greeting other breeds of pets.
Arturo V.	Hello, my name is Arturo. I have had a dog for more than 8 years, he goes with me everywhere, even on trips and it is an important part of my life. As a dog owner I know how important it is to know that your dog is in good hands. I am a musician, I love art in general, bike rides and exploring new places. I also like photography so at the end of each walk you will have cool photos of your dog.
Chloe C.	Hello, my name is Chloe and I love dogs! I am 22 years old and have been working with animals all my life. Whether it was taking care of family pets, or pet sitting for my neighbors, I have always enjoyed being around them! I have been with Swifto since 2021 and have completed over 1,695 dog walks in the last two years. I am comfortable working with any breed/size dog (I may be small but I don’t mind a challenge!) I grew up mostly around pitbulls (now one of my favorite type of dogs) but recently I adopted a chihuahua and have fallen in love with them! I currently have five chihuahuas. The first one, Pepper (the one with brown fur), is a girl who I rescued with my roommate. We then rescued another chihuahua, his name is Bean (the one with the white fur). To our surprise though, before Bean could be neutered, Pepper became pregnant and I became a mom to three more chihuahuas! The all grey one is Móle, the mostly grey with white and different colors is Picantè, and the one who looks like a copy of Bean is Falkor (like from The Never Ending Story.) I never thought I would have so many dogs in a short period of time, but I am very thankful for them! I learn new skills and tricks everyday from being with them that help me when it comes to dog walking and working with Swifto. I think dogs make us all better people and I would love to walk and get to know your dogs better!! (:
Davel R.	Hello, my name is Davel, and I look forward to meeting you and your dog. I have grown up with a variety of them, some I have owned, others through family. I enjoy my time with them and look for ways to continue this. As a recent college graduate, I assure you I am committed to the call when needed and will do my best to get the job done.

Jacqueline C.	Hello, my name is Jackie, I'm so glad to be part of the Swifto Dog walkers! I have been so fortunate to live my childhood dream of working with Animals for the past 20+ years in Animal Clinics from Veterinary Tech. to Managing the Dog Daycare/Kennel, which has given me the experience working with a variety of different breeds. In my spare time I also took on dog walking/pet sitting jobs which I really enjoyed. I have recently relocated to the New York area from Florida, but I do not mind the city life as I grew up in San Francisco, California. I currently have 3 pups, 2 Toy Poodles Rico and Rosie and our newest rescue a French Bulldog named Jaxson. My goals here are to continue with my passion for Animals thru working and volunteering and continuing with my hobbies of camping, kayaking, photography, hiking and reading.

Alexander D.	Hey there, my name is Alex. I am from Miami, FL and have been in NY for 2 years now. I am a big dog and cat person. Sadly, had to leave my best bud, Boomer, back home so that he could enjoy our big backyard. He loves the outdoors and being able to explore within his comfort. I hope I can bring that to many dogs here in NYC so they too can have the chance to stretch those apartment legs and explore.
