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

Tony did a great job watching my dog while I was away for 10 days. Tony sent pictures every day so that I knew he was doing well and getting lots of love and attention. I would definitely recommend using them. My dog didn't want to come home with me when I returned from holiday.

We had the pleasure of having Sergio drop in to play with our dog, Xena, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment he arrived, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals. Xena absolutely adored him and had a fantastic time playing and exploring!

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.

Neide is a dream! She clearly spends a lot of time with animals and is passionate about them. Leaving my 16 year old senior cat and my 1 year old new cat was nerve wracking, but Neide’s compassion and knowledge put me at ease. I highly recommend Neide!

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.

I highly recommend Anthony as a dog walker based on their exceptional care for their own dog. Having witnessed firsthand their dedication and love towards their furry companion, I am confident they will extend the same level of attention and responsibility to other dogs in their care. Anthony consistently ensures their dog's well-being through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and attentive grooming. They prioritize safety during walks and playtime, always using appropriate equipment and keeping a vigilant eye on their dog's surroundings. Moreover, their nurturing approach fosters a strong bond built on trust and positive reinforcement. With their natural affinity for dogs and conscientious attitude, Anthony is well-prepared to provide reliable and compassionate dog walking services. Their commitment to the happiness and health of dogs makes them an excellent choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

I can start off by saying Mateo is a dog lover. The way he treats Casper (his dog) amazes me. He subscribed to barkbox to have his dog receive a box full of treats and toys every month. When ever we hangout and he sees a dog, he goes crazy to pet them. I can definitely put my word and recommend him as a dog sitter, i'm sure he will do an amazing job, the dogs are going to be extremely happy when he takes care of them. Can't wait to hear back from Mateo, letting me know he became a dog sitter.

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!

6 years of experience

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.
