MEET THE OWNER

Hi, I’m Monica, the heart behind Walks Wiggles and Wags.

From the moment I knew I wanted to turn my passion for animals into something meaningful, I dedicated myself to building a business driven by love, trust, and unwavering care. Every pet that walks into my life feels like part of my extended family, and it’s my mission to ensure they’re not just well taken care of, but truly cherished.

What drives me every day is the joy of seeing pets happy, healthy, and thriving, while forming genuine connections with the amazing families who place their trust in us.

No one does it quite like us!

I’ve built a team of dedicated and skilled dog walkers and pet sitters who share my commitment to providing reliable pet care. Together, we work tirelessly to set a higher standard in pet care because pets and pet owners deserve more.

From personalized attention to genuine affection, we go above and beyond to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and truly cared for.

Walks Wiggles and Wags is more than just a pet care service; we’re a trusted part of your family, and we work hard every day to be the go-to choice for pet care that you can count on.
