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

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!

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!

Jenny was wonderful looking after my cat while we were away for a few days. She is communicative and sent plenty of updates and sweet photos on her visits. My cat, normally quite shy, seemed to love her and come out of her shell. I cannot recommend her enough!

Anya was punctual and very kind and caring with our dogs. Ruby is a nervous dog, and Anya adjusted to her needs. Anya was able to safely walk both dogs together. It was the puppy’s longest walk so far! Both dogs liked Anya a lot. I would recommend Anya for your pet care needs.

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.

Shirley is lovey and wonderful! Hands down the best pet sitter we have ask to watch our five cats. Our cats, disliked other humans and hide under the bed. On Shirley’s first visit and all the ones after, four hopped out and stayed out! We were in awe!! She followed all the instructions for medicines, litter, recycling and garbage ?

Alex has been such a great dog walker for my two dogs. They seem to like him a whole lot more than me. I’ve had no troubles with him and he definitely has gone the distance for my little fur babies even when he didn’t have to. If you need a dog walker I 100% endorse him. Funny enough, I could never separate him and my dogs so it seems like my dogs endorse him really

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.

I am delighted to recommend Kendra as a pet sitter for your dog. Kendra and her sons love dogs and are eager to welcome furry friends to stay with them! Working from home allows Kendra to provide all-day companionship and attention, ensuring that pets feel safe and loved. Her fenced-in backyard is a fantastic space for dogs to play and explore, giving them the freedom to enjoy the outdoors in a secure environment. She will be thrilled to have a dog to accompany her on her walks in her neighborhood. I have complete confidence in her ability to provide a nurturing and joyful experience for any pet in her care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring, Kendra is the perfect choice!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid, and throughout my life, I’ve been surrounded by pets like cats, dogs, birds, and even fish. My love for animals has only grown over the years, and I’m dedicated to creating a safe and loving environment for them. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure, especially when their owners are away, and I go the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. With years of hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pets' needs, whether it’s the playful energy of a puppy, the calm companionship of a senior cat, or the specific care required for birds or fish. My goal is to provide personalized attention and make sure each pet feels happy, safe, and loved. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to organize my classes and studies in a way that leaves me with plenty of free time throughout the day and week. This flexibility allows me to provide dedicated care for pets, whether it’s for daily visits, extended stays, or weekend care. I can easily adjust my routine to accommodate the specific needs of your pet, whether that involves morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. My goal is to be reliable and attentive, ensuring your pet gets the care they need whenever you need it. When pets stay with me, I prioritize creating a safe, secure, and comfortable environment. My home is pet-friendly, with designated spaces for playing, resting, and eating. I ensure that pets have access to clean water, comfortable sleeping areas, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation through toys, walks, and interaction. Safety is my top priority—I monitor pets closely to make sure they don’t get into anything harmful, and I keep the space clean and free of hazards. Pets in my care are treated like family, receiving lots of attention and affection to ensure they feel safe and loved.

Mike is a breath of fresh air. He delivers on everything he promises - and more. Most importantly, Fred, my Labradoodle, is always happier after one of Mike's visits. When I had to go abroad for three weeks, I didn't hesitate to leave Fred in Mike's good hands. In short, Mike treats Fred as if he were part of his own family.

I feel lucky to have found Joana! She has watched our cat's and dog's for ten years on and off. She has showered them with love. She has done a mix of drop-ins as well as overnights. As a cat mom herself, we have always trusted her with our furbabies and house. They have always been happy and healthy when we get home. She sends some picture's along the way to stay connected. I would most definitely recommend her!
