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 highly recommend Katrina. She took very good care care of our two cats, was very professional throughout the process, and sent updates so we knew how they were doing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely book her again!

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.

Michelle is completely and totally awesome! She is not only absolutely reliable and accommodating of all requests and specifications but also - most importantly! - caring and loving. Our elderly cat, a partly deaf 13-year old, was very happy in Michelle's care. And so were we for him! Thank you, Michelle!

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

Eric and Kathleen were exactly what we needed. From the very beginning when Eric came out to visit before we left to meet our cats and understand their needs to his daily communication about how our cats were doing and the love and attention that the two of them were providing. I have no hesitation and giving the two of them are highest possible recommendation.

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.

About: I’ve helped take care of my family dog ever since she was a puppy and have used that love and experience to pet sit numerous animals for my friends and neighbors. Currently working part time with a flexible schedule. I usually have more than a couple hours of availability everyday including weekdays and weekends. The more time in advance the better but once again, typically very flexible. I understand all pets have different requirements whether that be an extra long walk, diet, or other behavioral accommodations. I will diligently respect policies and practices you put in place to ensure the safety and enjoyment of your pet

Sulay is so sweet and had so much patience with my dog Lola. She was reliable and communicated well! I loved her services. And my dog typically barks at people she doesn't like. She went up to Sulay with no problems. And was very hyper. I needed to get her nails trimmed , Lola scratched Sulay a little on her leg due to the long nails and Sulay didn't even care she was so understanding.

Very thankful for Kelly! She was reliable and communicative during her time caring for our dogs. We received lots of updates including photos and videos. She stayed past the allotted time for a few of her visits in order to make sure everything was done properly. Kelly was positive and easy to work with even while dealing with an accident prone puppy.

Veronica was awesome once again! Our kitties love her and she goes above and beyond every time. Gives the cats attention and play when they come out, keeps the cat areas of the house very clean, administers their meds. Great communication and photos, and even was able to keep our cats taken care of with an injury this time. Highly recommend her and will be looking for her again next time our kitties need some love while we are out of town.

Anytime I go on vacation or need someone to check in on my cat I call Nicole because she is super responsible and my cat ADORES her. Usually, I am very picky about who I let into my home because you never know but my friend recommended me Nicole and I have not looked back since. She has my full trust with my home and my cat who is basically like my child to me. She is super thoughtful and responsible and any pet would be lucky to be under her care.

About: I am proud cat owner of 7 years and have a decade long experience with caring for and sitting dogs of all different breeds and sizes. Being a cat owner pet care is daily for me. For example consistent play sessions and cuddles. Pet care routines are key with helping in pet health! It is always dependent on the home and with the owners. Like locating the crates or cages for owners who cage train their dogs and seeing which areas their cats are comfortable in.
