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

Nivia has been great. My dog loves her. For my dog to be such a high energy dog, I worry about a sitter being able to handle her but Nivia seems to handle it well which is very comforting as an owner.

Tashiyana communicated superbly with me from the beginning. She was reliable and ready to take on some new skills like learning how to give my kitty a liquid medication if needed. Very good about sending picture and video updates - I think she’s a much better photographer of my cat than I am ? Thank you for taking care of Pudge!

Hanna is a wonderful sitter and deserves the highest recommendation! She has done house visits for our two cats during two separate week long vacations and was very attentive and responsible. She proactively reached out to learn about our cats and showed a lot of affection for them during her visits. They were in very good hands. She was also flexible in terms of dates and number of visits per day. We have tried other sitters on Rover before with mixed results and are glad that we were able to hire Hanna!

As a first time dog mom of my baby boy Charlie ( Golden Retriever almost 1 year old), I can say that I did not know it was possible to love a little life so much. That being said, the past year has definitely had its challenges especially when it came to trusting someone with Charlie. This all changed when I met Denise and her little princess Ginger. Seeing the way Denise cares for Ginger, I knew Charlie was in good hands. As a pet parent herself, I know Denise truly puts herself in our shoes and cares for the pups as her own. When Charlie is with her, his safety is her number one concern, followed by having fun. I truly appreciate all the updates and pictures I get from her during the time they are together. As if that was not enough, I love that when Charlie sees Denise he is super excited and showing his affection with kisses. If that isn’t proof of a good time, I don’t know what else. Denise is the full package as she’s someone I trust and Charlie loves!

Cristina has been an absolute lifesaver for us whenever we've needed someone to care for our furry family member, Max. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction. Max is always excited to see her, which speaks volumes about the care and affection she provides. We feel completely at ease knowing Cristina is looking after our pet, and we wouldn't trust anyone else to do the job.

I have know Arley for quite a while now. He is just a pleasure to be around. He is kind, considerate and respectful to everyone. He is loving to all and loves animals. I have seen him around my niece's golden retriever and he is so gentle and kind to her. Anyone would be very lucky to have him as an employee.

About: I am a responsible and mature owner of one 6 pound 8 year old choodle (chihuahua poodle mix) and 3 adult cats ages 11 and two 10 years old. I am located one block from police station and 3 blocks from an animal hospital. I live in a walkable neighborhood and occasionally on sunny dry days I take my dog to Montclair Brookdale Dog Park or Watsessing Park on the East Orange/Bloomfield borderline. My first priority is my pets and any pet visitors in my home. I am able to provide care services in my home or in your home within my local. If I can have my dog stay in your home if you need or want house sitting services then I can do that. Otherwise I can visit your home daily.

About: I started doing this for a friend that was going on vacation. I spoil Molly & treat her like I want mine to be care. I do this as a part time, I work from home, have my own routine. Like to be call three days in advance before you need my service. I don’t bring pet to my house, I believe is better not taking them out of their homes. I always treat them great. They are my baby pets.

She was wonderful with my knuckle head German Shepard. She walked, feed, and played with him even though he’s an excited nervous dog. She updated me on anything that happened while I was gone for my 5days and even with pictures! Marlita even went one step above and gave me tips and tricks to help with my dogs anxiety and I couldn’t have asked for more. Her jovial attitude has had a profound effect on me and my dog and I will definitely use her again.
