You have a dog, you live in New York City, and you suddenly need to leave the house, but your dog is long overdue for some attention. So what do you do in this kind of a pinch? Contact Swifto Dog Walking to solve the problem. Their walks are available 24-hours a day, and they will send a professional dog walker out to you within the hour.
Established in 2011, Swifto Dog Walking brings a new approach to dog walking in New York City. The city is a perfect place for this kind of service because dogs don’t generally get outside unless you go with them, and you don’t always have the time or resources for a lengthy walk with your pup. This revolutionary dog-walking service will let you feel free from worrying about exercising your dog or leaving him alone for too long.
Swifto Dog Walking provides you with some sophisticated technology. To request a dog walker, just go to their website and fill out their simple online form. Enter your zip code and some information about you and your dog. A notification will be sent automatically to all the Swifto dog walkers in your area, and the first one to respond gets the job. Within 20 minutes, you’ll receive an email and a text message, and the prescreened dog walker will call you to discuss all the details of the walk, such as where to pick up the keys and where and how to meet up with you. Online payments are also made easy, and the Swifto dog walker will only get paid when the job is done
The cost for a half hour dog walk is $20.00. If you want to extend the walk to an hour, it’s just $10.00 more. And if you’d like to add an extra dog, it’s $5.00. If you want your dog taken on a hike, a run, or just have some playtime, an appropriate Swifto employee will show up at your door prepared, and your request will be filled in no time. For regularly scheduled walks, you first meet with a dog walker and get to know them. The first meeting is free, and you can spend the time going over the special personality of your dog, such as any fears or aggressive behavior he might have.
Follow your dog’s progress by using Swifto’s smartphone dog walk tracking app. Watch your pup live on a map during his walk to see when it starts, how many miles he’s going, and when the walk stops. Your dog walker will also indicate every time your doggy plays or poops or hangs with other dogs. Even if something unexpectedly keeps you from coming home, this last-minute dog walking service guarantees that your dog is cared for at all times.
All dog walkers that work for Swifto are licensed, bonded, and well insured. Before getting hired, they go through two interviews and a complete background check. They must have the required dog-walking skills and experience, and of course, they must love dogs. Employees are all members of Pet Sitters Associates, LLC, an organization that provides dog walking insurance for all of its members. This insurance covers any accidents that may happen when the dog walker is out with your dog.
Whether you want a dog walker at the last minute, or want to set up a regularly scheduled one, Swifto matches your dog walking needs with just the right person from their carefully picked staff. Their sales representatives are familiar with each of their dog walker’s abilities, skills, and schedule. When you ask for a dog walker and you have any particular requests, they will make sure to match you with the best dog walker for your needs. Have a puppy? They’ll send out a dog walker who specializes in puppy care. Have a Chihuahua? They’ll match you up with a dog walker who knows how to deal with small dogs. If there is anything you’d like them to know about your dog, such as the fact that he or she tends to be shy or aggressive, make sure to tell them.
When you use Swifto Dog Walking, there are no surprises or disappointments. Rest assured that your dog will be taken care of no matter what. Your dog will be happy, and so will you.
