A note from me

Animals helped bring me home to myself.

I started Wags & Wiggles in January 2026, but my connection with animals began long before that.

When I got sober in August 2024, animals became an important part of my healing. They have always felt safe to me, and my sweet cat Mia has truly helped save my life. After receiving so much unconditional love from animals over the years, I wanted to find a way to give some of that love back.

That is why I created Wags & Wiggles.

At home, my wife, Ali, and I run an animal rescue and volunteer as wildlife rehabbers. Caring for animals is not something I switch on for work; it is part of our everyday life. That hands-on experience has taught me to notice the quiet details, from changes in behavior and appetite to the little things that help an animal feel safe.

My goal is simple: to care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and love you would give them yourself. When you have to be away, I want you to feel confident knowing your babies are safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved.

I am insured, dependable, and ready to become your pet’s second-favorite person. Obviously, I know better than to compete with you.

— Nikki
