About
Swifto is an innovative company that brings dog walking into the 21st century with GPS tracking, photos, and live notifications sent straight to your phone and email. Our highly experienced walkers come equipped with the Swifto app, all of whom are background checked, insured, bonded, and college-educated. From there you can enjoy notifications when your walk starts and ends, GPS walk monitoring, pictures on every walk, and even live poop alerts! At the end of every walk, you'll receive a message from your walker to let you know how it went. Watch your walk live online or check in during your lunch break. It's about as close as you can get to actually being on the walk with your pup.
All of our walkers are extensively trained dog lovers whose reliability and professionalism have made Swifto the best dog walking experience in The Big Apple, with thousands of satisfied clients and dogs ready to bark our praises. While most of our clients are NYC natives, we work with visitors to our city as well, so if you and your canine companion ever find yourselves in our neck of the woods and in need of a walk, get in touch with us and we'll be happy to make sure your sweet pup is well taken care of.

So far Swifto has been a wonderful service. They reply immediately, answers questions and have a lot of patience. Extremely easy to work with. The dog seems to love the walker already and waits for him to come.
Details: 1 dog • 10 years or older • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • 15 minutes • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

I have been using Swifto for over a year now and love love love them!
Each and every dog walker I met was amazingly attentive to my pup Hazel and has shown her the same love that I give her.
This Service has put my mind at ease when it comes to caring for my fur baby.
Our current Walker, Catherine, has been the best with Hazel. Catherine has great energy that I know hazel loves and takes full advantage of on their daily walks.
I would recommend her or anyone else with them to someone looking for a dog walker.
Trustful, reliable, understanding and compassionate. What more could I ask for?

I've been using Swifto to walk my dog daily for around 9 months. I was assigned a professional loving, caring walker who really does a great job with my dog, Mooch.
I also love getting the notifications when the walk starts and ends, and seeing the route through GPS.
All in all, Swifto has been very accommodating, Emily who does customer service, is extremely caring, and I can't say enough about my walker Ruben who clearly loves Mooch.

What I love about Swifto is first and foremost their dog walkers. I use them on a sporadic basis whenever my husband goes out of town for a few days and I need help walking both of my pugs.
Every single dog walker I’ve met so far is absolutely incredible. You can tell how they truly love dogs, and they really pay attention to detail.
The second best thing about Swifto is their technology. Yes, a lot of companies are now claiming that they, too, offer GPS tracking, but none of theirs actually work. With Swifto it works seamlessly every time, the routes are accurate, I can track it live if I’d like, and I know I can rely on it.
In short, don’t look elsewhere, Swifto is really the way to go.

Ginger and I have been using Swifto ever since he was a pup.
I absolutely love them! Both my regular walker, and the cover walkers they send out, are absolutely great for Ginger and take such good care of him.
You can tell they are true dog lovers!
