About: Welcome to the number one pet vacation destination east of the Mississippi, where all your dog has to bring is its love for everything. Great for all ages and temperaments, big and small, short and tall, bold and shy, anxious and spry. Your loved one will not miss you as much as you would like at this heavenly dog retreat. Instead, he’ll become a member of the The Mr. Wiggles Waggy Wonderland pack, some of the most wonderful dogs the world has ever known. On arrival, Mr. Wiggle’s regulars who have gone through the Mr Wiggles's Waggy Wonderland training program will eagerly welcome your pup and, during their stay, will teach them the ways of the pack, even the way of the world. These conditioned pros encourage guests to feel more comfortable in their new surroundings in record time and serve as brilliant teachers who will undoubtedly complement, if not improve, your dog’s overall greatness. Every day at Mr. Wiggles is a celebration of being on vacation. Daily off-site excursions are the talk of the town and typically range from 3-6 hours. Snow, rain or shine, the party goes on all the time. In nature, we have partnered up with many of the local wildlife to ensure the most exclusive spots are at our disposal, free from danger and filled with magical moments. We also have hookups in NYC, various beaches and lakes, and a few other hush-hush spots. Chariot training, aka pulling me on a skateboard, is another guest favorite. Standard amenities include but not limited to: Authentic bonds, earned love, and nonstop companionship Constant oversight by the Nicholas, the resident dog whisperer Daily offsite adventures Indoor/Outdoor fun Couches/Beds Leashes/Collars Purified Water More photos and videos than you could hope for Medication/special dietary needs Fenced yard Air Purifiers Garmin tracking collars 24-hour freedom (crating and separation only by guest choice) Mr Wiggles Waggy Wonderland is open to guests 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is a full time vacation, socialization, and educational paradise for all ages. Nicholas is an expert in dog behavior, training, and commanding the pack. He easily reads the needs of every guest and keeps the environment comfortable for all. All go through a thorough vetting process to ensure there are no poopers in our party

Nhi was an above and beyond sitter. She took care of our cat Amelia for a week, sent us pictures and videos, and followed all instructions with diligence. I have anxiety, so her being so communicative helped my family to truly enjoy our vacation. We travel often and will definitely book Nhi again in the future! I can’t recommend her enough.

Hanna is a wonderful sitter and deserves the highest recommendation! She has done house visits for our two cats during two separate week long vacations and was very attentive and responsible. She proactively reached out to learn about our cats and showed a lot of affection for them during her visits. They were in very good hands. She was also flexible in terms of dates and number of visits per day. We have tried other sitters on Rover before with mixed results and are glad that we were able to hire Hanna!

I can't say enough about how amazing Norbely is as a pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in every interaction. Whenever I've had to leave town, I've entrusted my furry friends to her care, and she goes above and beyond to ensure they're not just looked after, but truly loved and pampered. She's attentive, responsible, and treats each pet as if they were her own. I have complete peace of mind knowing my pets are in her capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and reliable pet sitter.

As a first time dog mom of my baby boy Charlie ( Golden Retriever almost 1 year old), I can say that I did not know it was possible to love a little life so much. That being said, the past year has definitely had its challenges especially when it came to trusting someone with Charlie. This all changed when I met Denise and her little princess Ginger. Seeing the way Denise cares for Ginger, I knew Charlie was in good hands. As a pet parent herself, I know Denise truly puts herself in our shoes and cares for the pups as her own. When Charlie is with her, his safety is her number one concern, followed by having fun. I truly appreciate all the updates and pictures I get from her during the time they are together. As if that was not enough, I love that when Charlie sees Denise he is super excited and showing his affection with kisses. If that isn’t proof of a good time, I don’t know what else. Denise is the full package as she’s someone I trust and Charlie loves!

Herriette has 5 dogs of her own, and i have never seen her miss treat them. She deeply loves them and understands their personalities thoroughly. A few times when I was a guest, she would have to bathe them when her parents expected it, and she wouldn't forget to let them out when they needed that time to be outside. She is a great caretaker for all dogs, I can't name a single time she had a bad thing to say about any dog we've encountered.

If you want someone who will treat your pets with the same care and love as you, Varshini is your person. Whenever I've had to leave town, I can always count on her to step in and take care of my fur baby as if she were her own. Varshini is reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. Her dedication to providing safe, timely, and loving care is unparalleled and her attention to detail is remarkable – whether it's a leisurely stroll in the park or a cozy day at home. Varshini goes above and beyond to ensure that every pet feels happy and comfortable and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to leave their pets in the best hands possible!

Angel is the sweetest and took such great care of my cat lucky! I felt safe having Angel come into my home while I was away to give lucky food everyday and play with her for a few hrs/give her company. Angel is the only person I trust coming into my home to watch/feed and play with lucky when I’m out for work trips.

I have know Arley for quite a while now. He is just a pleasure to be around. He is kind, considerate and respectful to everyone. He is loving to all and loves animals. I have seen him around my niece's golden retriever and he is so gentle and kind to her. Anyone would be very lucky to have him as an employee.

About: I started doing this for a friend that was going on vacation. I spoil Molly & treat her like I want mine to be care. I do this as a part time, I work from home, have my own routine. Like to be call three days in advance before you need my service. I don’t bring pet to my house, I believe is better not taking them out of their homes. I always treat them great. They are my baby pets.
