Swifto

Swifto uses technology to scale up dog walking. Swifto connects between highly vetted, insured, background checked, college educated dog walkers with dog owners through automated text messages going out to qualified dog walkers, automatic matching between both parties, online payments, and then GPS tracked dog walking to give clients the peace of mind that there dog is being walked for the right amount of time and at the right time.

Swifto also sends an automatic text message to the dog owner at the beginning and end of the walk, as well as a photo of the dog along the way.

Swifto’s app takes every single thing one can imagine into consideration when it comes to dog walking, starting with whether or not the dog needs to be fed, and ending with specific allergies or fears the dog walker must be aware of.
