“Deli is amazing! She provided witty updates, played with my boy, and took extra care to make sure my place looked great when I came home. Absolutely would recommend her!!”
“Bianca took care of my cat, Bubo, while I was out of the country for a week. Bubo is older and has been getting more and more finicky with age. But Bianca informed me every day how things were going, how she was eating and was also able to try other methods to try to get her to eat. It was great to have Bianca taking care of Bubo without having to worry. She's dependable, trustworthy and punctual. Highly recommended!”
“Christine was a fantastic sitter that anyone would be lucky to have take care of their pets. She was communicative, shared lots of photos, and was accommodating with some last minute booking changes. We have one cat and one dog, and both were safe in her care. When we returned home the house was clean and the animals were happy!”
“I am so happy with Veronica’s drop-in service! She’s so communicative and went above and beyond for my kitty and she really cared about our home. I 100% recommend and will be hiring her again when the need arises.”
“Absolutely! Here’s a positive review for Desire: --- I recently went on vacation and entrusted Desire to take care of my five cats—Abby, Chloe, Taz, Luna, and baby LuLu—for a few days. Desire did an amazing job! She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease knowing my fur babies were in good hands. Desire spent time playing with them, ensuring they were happy and entertained. Even Abby, who is very picky about who she trusts, allowed Desire to pet her—a clear sign of how comfortable and trusted she felt around Desire. I will definitely use Desire's services again for my next vacation and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Desire, for your outstanding care!”
“Christian is kind and great with my puppy. He’s very communicative and followed the directions I left well. He even gave me great tips on being a first time dog owner.”
“Frances was amazing with our two kitties! I was very impressed our shy stray had warmed up to her by in just a few days. Having her taking care of our cats took such a large burden off our shoulders and we were able to focus on our trip.”
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
“I am a first time user of Rover and was very nervous about leaving my dogs in the hands of someone else. When I picked Stephanie I could just tell she would be a great fit with my two pups. And I was right! I have special needs for my dogs and was worried it would be too much but Stephanie didn’t mind and even worked with one of my dogs on leash training! She was super patient in meeting them and letting them get to know her and offered up some advice on food options to keep them healthy and active. I will definitely be using Stephanie again!”

About: I have been around dogs nearly my entire life and I can never get enough of them. Dogs are not only our little furry friends, but they are also family, they need support, respect, attention and most of all love from someone who will give it to them 100% and whole heartedly which is why I take the utmost care and hold the greatest honor to be apart of any canines life. The loyalty and bond that can be created by these 2 individuals is like no other and throughout our entire lives we live and learn to realize who was by our side the most, giving us not only such amazing friends, but the most faithful, devoted and true companions we could ever know

About: I can share that passion with other dogs and dog owners that need a further assistance with the furry family members. Taking care of various dogs makes it easier to learn their needs and wants and if they are well trained it will be easier to take care of them, In the other hand I have patience and a commanding voice that helps them understand I am in control. Snacks are also available which help me develop trust and a bond in order to contribute to a healthy relationship. I currently work full time but I am at home Monday, Friday, Weeknights after work and Weekends at any time to make sure their needs are taken care of. While taking care of your dogs I prioritize their safety by thoroughly assessing their environment, building trust with both the dog and the owner and providing excellent care

Karen V.
“Karen is the most caring & compassionate person i know when it comes to dogs. The love & motherly instinct she has towards her own dog is something i’ve never seen before. I didn’t think twice but to ask her if she could watch my dog for the weekend as i would be out of town. I knew he’d be in good hands with her & your dog will be too!”
Shivarah U.

Kethely C.
“I can comfortably say Kethely is more than competent at providing excellent care for animals. She is incredibly sensitive to changes in pet behavior, and has great judgement when deciding how to help them. She has also shown tremendous passion for animals and on multiple occasions, has stopped to help lost or hurt pets. With her knowledge on animal first-aid, and love for animals, I’m sure she would make an excellent pet sitter/walker. If I were to trust my pets with anyone, it would be her!”

Mateo P.
“I can start off by saying Mateo is a dog lover. The way he treats Casper (his dog) amazes me. He subscribed to barkbox to have his dog receive a box full of treats and toys every month. When ever we hangout and he sees a dog, he goes crazy to pet them. I can definitely put my word and recommend him as a dog sitter, i'm sure he will do an amazing job, the dogs are going to be extremely happy when he takes care of them. Can't wait to hear back from Mateo, letting me know he became a dog sitter.”
