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

Katrina was great checking in on our 2 cats while we were on holiday. One cat is very skittish but she opened up and played by day 2. Katrina was prompt for all check ins and great with communication (even when we were slow). We will definitely be using her again to watch our babies.

Lola was so excited and happy when she came home! Sergio truly has a gift and love for dogs. It shows in every interaction he has with them. I honestly don't trust many people with my fur baby. He is one of the few people I can have over a leash to and not think twice about it. Can't recommend him enough!

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.

My husband Danny and I had a meet & greet with Diane and instantly felt comfortable in trusting her to care for our two fur babies! She did a 30 minute drop in for our two cats (Lucy & Mumford) recently so we could attend a concert in NYC and was so wonderful! She not only administered oral meds to our cat Lucy but also fed both of our cats & gave them some love & playtime whilst at our home. Will definitely be a repeat customer of hers! You should be, too! xx

Ariel’s been an absolute legendary pet sitter and owner. She has ample experience with elderly dogs and has given them so much love and attention. Even as a sitter, she made sure my dog’s needs were met, especially with my dogs poor joints and introverted nature.

I couldn't have asked for a better dog-sitting experience than the one Denise provided for my beloved Max. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that Max was in good hands. Denise's genuine love for dogs was evident in the way she cared for Max as if he were her own. Max seemed thrilled to spend time with both Denise and her friendly dog, Ginger. The regular updates and pictures she sent me during his stay reassured me that he was happy and well taken care of. Denise's attention to Max's specific needs, her clean and safe environment, and her willingness to let Max bond with Ginger made me feel truly comfortable leaving him in her care. I will definitely be entrusting Max to Denise's care again in the future. Highly recommended!

She is an amazing care taker for your pups! I love the way she is with my milo! He never goes with anyone but for some reason he is very attached and I can just drop him right off at her door steps and he will go! I’ve had her watch him for a week as I was on vacation and they grew a huge bond! She sends photos and always answers the phone when I wondered how my little guy was doing!

Mykaela would make an amazing Rover pet sitter. She is an animal lover and exhibits patience and kindness to all animals, big and small. My Jack Russell, Sage, absolutely loves her. There is no doubt in my mind that Mykaela exhibits a great level of responsibility with pets left in her care and I would have no hesitation in using her as a trusted sitter for my baby.

We love Karen and will continue requesting her anytime we need to leave our kitten at home. Karen is very responsive and flexible. She takes extra time to play with him and sends us updates, pictures and videos. It helps us stay at ease about having to leave him because we know Karen will take such good care of him. Coordinating with Karen is so easy and she has a genuine love for animals. We would recommend her for any and all of your pet sitting needs.

Liz is an exceptional furry friend caregiver! I trust her wholeheartedly with my 7 month old toy poodle Nova. I know with Liz she is safe and well taken care of. Liz treated Nova like her own, showering her with love and attention. Nova enjoyed a safe and comfortable space to play and relax, with her routines meticulously followed. I received frequent updates, including photos and messages, which put my mind at ease. Drop-off and pick-up times were accommodated with no problems. Liz was reliable, trustworthy, and professional throughout. Overall, Nova received exceptional care, and I highly recommend Liz's Rover services for anyone seeking top-notch pet care. Nova and I are grateful for the wonderful experience!

Tashi was perfect for our kitties, our boys loved her lots and weren't anxious at all while we were away. They got lots of playtime and she even minded the litter boxes which we hadn't asked her to do! It's easy to tell she really loves animals, definitely booking her again!
