Maintaining Local Expertise and Trust
Swifto ensures a smooth transition for Little Friends' clients, with all existing pet sitters and dog walkers continuing to provide their services. Swifto personally screens every dog walker locally, ensuring they meet the high standards expected by pet owners. The local management from Little Friends, along with nearly 30 dedicated dog walkers and pet sitters, will all be transitioning to Swifto, maintaining the trusted relationships clients have come to rely on.
Legacy of Excellence in Pet Care
Little Friends, founded by Terry Richardson who is now retiring, has provided over 150,000 pet care services to date, serving more than 5,000 clients. With close to 30 dedicated dog walkers and pet sitters, all of whom are transitioning to Swifto, the company has built a reputation for reliable and loving pet care. This integration not only expands Swifto's footprint in North Carolina but also enhances its service offerings by leveraging the local expertise and established client relationships of Little Friends.
Swifto itself has completed nearly 500,000 dog walks and pet visits so far, making it the largest dog walking service in the US following Wag! and Rover, all while maintaining an excellent reputation by both clients and dog walkers, showcasing its extensive experience and capability in delivering high-quality pet care services with the help of technology.
Terry Richardson, owner of Little Friends, stated, "After 14 wonderful years, I am delighted to hand over the reins to Swifto. Their advanced technological support combined with our local insight ensures that our beloved clients and their pets will continue receiving the best possible care. I am confident that Swifto's innovative approach and commitment to service will carry on the legacy of Little Friends, enhancing it in ways that truly matter."

Looking Ahead
