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!

Julien walked our medium sized, high-energy dog, Bean, three times last week. He was reliable, communicative, and flexible, and Bean liked him immediately. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and look forward to hiring him 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

About: I have owned and fostered many different types of animals. I get along well with cats and dogs, and have fostered animals with special needs (bathing, ear cleaning, medication administration). I love to go on long walks and create a connection with animals. My goal is to make your’s and your pet’s lives easier by providing a safe, trustworthy, and reliable service. I currently work remotely and have a car, so I am very available for day-time walks and check ins, as well as into the evening and on weekends. I am happy to adhere to any special needs for your animals, but I’ll always be honest about what I have experience doing. I will follow all care instructions, and make sure to take the safest walking route for your dog!

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.

Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!

About: Hello! My name is Kiana, and I'm a 30 year old pet lover with a 3 year old daughter. After recently losing my beloved Shiba Inu, Phoenix, on July 20, 2024, I’ve felt the absence of my furry friend deeply. However, I am excited to return to dog walking and reconnect with the wonderful dogs and their owners I’ve missed so much. Growing up surrounded by a variety of pets, including rabbits, fish, dogs, cats, and birds, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for animals. My previous dog, Cocoa, a Shih Tzu, lived a joyful 14 years, and I cared for two parakeets, Aqua and Flora, until we lost them after Hurricane Sandy. Phoenix was a cherished part of our family, and her memory inspires me to continue providing exceptional care for pets. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a range of dogs from lively puppies to gentle seniors. Each pet is unique, and I treat every one as if they were a part of my own family, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’m happy to send photos and videos of your pets to keep you updated while you’re away. With a flexible schedule, I am available for walks and drop-ins within a reasonable radius from home. My approach is positive, energetic, and attentive, making sure your pet is safe and well-cared-for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves pets and is eager to build new connections, please reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry friends and reconnect with the wonderful pet community. Thank you! As a dedicated mom to a 3 year old daughter and someone who recently experienced the loss of my cherished dog, Phoenix, I truly understand the balance of managing both family and pet care. My daily routine is thoughtfully organized to accommodate the needs of both my child and the pets I care for, ensuring that each receives the attention and care they deserve. My experience as a mother has taught me the importance of flexibility, empathy, and attentiveness—qualities I bring into my pet care routine. I carefully structure my schedule to seamlessly integrate walks and pet care with my family commitments. I am available for dog walks and pet care every day of the week, from Monday to Sunday. I’m happy to adjust timing and activities to match your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My role as a mom has deepened my understanding of unconditional love and nurturing, which I extend to your pets. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I look forward to providing them with the same loving care I give to my own family. When caring for pets in your home, I pay utmost attention to creating a safe and trusting environment. Before any care begins, I conduct a thorough assessment of the space to identify and address any potential hazards. I familiarize myself with your pet's routine, ensuring a seamless transition in their daily activities. Open communication and trust are key, and I make it a priority to maintain clear and consistent communication with you, keeping you informed of your pet's well-being, activities, and any concerns. Building a strong bond and trust with your pets is fundamental to my approach. I invest time in getting to know your pet's unique personality, preferences, and individual needs. This allows me to tailor the care, ensuring they are comfortable and at ease during our time together. I use positive reinforcement techniques, gentle encouragement, and a calm demeanor to create a trusting relationship with your pet. Safety is non-negotiable. I adhere to safety protocols rigorously to minimize risks and create a secure environment. Additionally, I ensure that all gates, locks, and leashes are secure during walks, providing an extra layer of safety for your pets. A comfortable environment is also essential for your pet's well-being. I pay careful attention to the temperature, lighting, and overall comfort of the space. Cozy bedding, ample toys, and stimulating activities are incorporated to make your pet remain comfortable at home while you're gone, promoting a sense of security and relaxation.

Tiara was so amazing with our two kitties. It was the first time we were leaving them for vacation and we had also just moved into a new house a few weeks ago. They have always been unsure of guests in the home and always hide so we were a little nervous leaving them with a stranger. Tiara made sure to check on them every day, that they had food, water and a clean box. She was able to give our girl cuddles and by the last day she was even able to pet our very scared boy which made him feel more comfortable. She also cleaned up the litter that they tracked outside the box and left a goodie bag of treats and other stuff for them. You can really tell she has a lot of experience with animals cares for them and wants them to feel comfortable when their family is gone. We will definitely be using her again next time we are away!
