I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.

Jullien was very responsive to Tofi's needs. He did a meet and greet (on his own time) and then arrived at our home when we had asked him to do so. Tofi was very comfortable with him and we were very satisfied with his services.

My dog Rosie, is a big, very strong and high energy Great Dane. Steve does a great job walking her, allowing her to explore and have fun while keeping her under safe control as well. Rosie loves her walks with Steve and even gets excited when she sees his car coming down our street ! Rosie and I will definitely be calling Steve again!

About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, including my own loving pup Fergus! I think dogs are the best friends anyone can have. I’m currently working freelance so I’m always ready for morning walks, night walks, and middag drop ins. Also to take the dogs to the park! Maplewood is full of wonderful dog and cat owners. Pets make everything better and deserve a great environment where they can thrive and feel loved.

About: I've nurtured cats and dogs generally smaller for as long as I can remember for friends and family but most of all pet parents who travel to destinations that may not be accommodating and accessible for furr babies. I'm currently working part-time a few days a week so I'm available after 10am most days except Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays when I'm only able to before 3pm. I ensure any rooms that are off limits a closed off. I proactively prevent dropping and leaving out potentially harmful objects or substances that may lead to an emergency room visit. I enjoy any furr babies company and they love me

Gavin was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and didn't even mind moving our dogs’ walk an hour later since it was storming at the time we had originally scheduled it for. He was very sweet to Spots and Sloane and didn’t seem to mind that I had to tell him quite a few things about them and our neighborhood before they started their walk (Sloane is pretty reactive and they are a lot of dogs in our area). Our dogs seemed to really enjoy their walk with him despite getting rained on towards the end and I’d absolutely trust him to walk or care for them again!

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

Buddy was fine with the walk. It seemed like Faith was nervous being one of her first Rover experiences. She arrived on time and followed instructions well. although she came wearing flip flops considering it had rained the night before. From the Rover walk trip feedback, it was a 52 minute walk, whereas it was contractually a one hour walk. I would give Faith another chance.
