I hired Squeals On Wheels Petting Zoo for my daughter's 7th birthday party on 07/23/2022 and I still do not have the words to explain how marvelous it was and they are! In short, Noelle was excellent to communicate with and she worked with me to plan everything out and get all details squared away, and Mika was terrific to have at the party... Mika set up so quickly and quietly, could not have been better with both the many children and adults, and at the end she shut down everything as quietly and quickly as when she arrived. Oh, and the animals were beyond adorable. Here is some other information that warrants (at least) a 5-Star review. We had originally scheduled the party for 2 weeks earlier, but a sudden forecast of rain made me nervous and feel the need to reschedule. Noelle worked with me to reschedule the party for 2 weeks later. Then, 2 days before the party the forecast called for weather in the mid to high 90s, Noelle got in touch to mention that their policy (and rightly so) called for the animals to be indoors and with A/C during outside temps exceeding 85°F. We ended up having the petting zoo in my newly renovated dining room and, while I was a bit nervous at the start, it disrupted nothing and I think Mika left the space cleaner than when she arrived... I would have a petting zoo in my dining room weekly now if I could, it was great! In conclusion Squeals On Wheels Petting Zoo is a terrific company with adorable animals and marvelous staff. read more

This was the PERFECT event for our daughter's 2nd birthday. The staff at Squeals On Wheels answered all of my questions prior to the event, and were accommodating of our COVID-related organization (i.e. having the kids come through the petting zoo in three separate groups). Betsy and Christina were so patient with the children and knew exactly how to help them warm up to the animals. We were so incredibly happy with everything from our initial reservation through the end of the event and highly recommend Squeals on Wheels! read more

We hired Squeals on Wheels for our 3yo birthday party. They were absolutely great. Zoe explained all the animals to the kiddos with patience and handled their trepidation over holding the animals with a lot of care. The kids had a blast. Don't know how we'll be able to top this experience next year! read more

The most awesome thing that has ever happened during my workday happened today. My boss came in from walking her dog and sort-of breathlessly started telling me about the petting zoo outside. "Um, what? Where?" I asked. "Outside, two doors down. It's June's birthday." Huh? Still confused, I went out to discover that the sweet lady who works a couple of doors down turned 90, and her coworkers arranged for a "Squeals on Wheels" birthday party. Have you seen the video of Kristen Bell when she gets to see a sloth? That's pretty much how I felt. Neighbors had gathered around with expressions on their faces that said "how did all this magic happen here?" I am not sure I've ever seen so much cuteness crammed into one small space. I was first greeted by a humming llama, and then spotted a miniature horse nibbling away at the grass, and then noticed the assortment of ridiculously cute bunnies hopping around in a pen, and then I saw THE MOST ADORABLE TWO WEEK OLD GOAT in the history of the world, and then more rabbits, and another goat, and some teacup piglets, and a bird... The owners, Jill and John, were patient, friendly and informative. Anyone could pet and hold the animals, but they made sure that the were handled and held appropriately and humanely. A younger child was overly excited and not being supervised enough by his mother. John was firm in asking her to control him make sure he didn't mishandle the animals, but also addressed it in a calm, non-threatening way. The birthday girl was outside in her pearls checking out the pacing llama and laughing. Children as young as 2 and the 90-year-old birthday girl and everyone in between were enchanted by the experience. They also breed teacup pigs and blue-eyed Holland Lop bunnies. I think a few there today were already "adopted," but hadn't gone to their forever homes yet. Jill asked if I could send her a couple of photos I had taken of one of the pigs, because his adoptive family had asked to see some before they could bring him home. Based on what I witnessed of their care and handling, I think they seem like very honest, caring breeders. This was truly one of the most magical, memorable things I have ever experienced. I've been to a few petting zoos that seemed a bit chaotic and cruel to the animals. These animals all seemed very healthy and happy, and it was clear that they are well cared for and loved. I'd recommend them for kids' parties--or any party! I definitely hope to see them again. I'm already plotting with my friends to figure out a "happy hour"! read more

Fantastic! Had them over for our daughters bday. HUGE hit with kids and adults alike! Had jealous neighbors peeking over the fence all day! The handler Kerry was INCREDIBLE! Amazingly helpful, polite, efficient, and great with kids! Seriously upbeat and patient especially with the little ones. I'm mostly writing this so her boss sees it and knows how great she was. read more

Had a great time at my daughters 7th birthday party! Thank you for making her day special!

We did the bunnies and buddies package for our daughter's 3rd birthday and it was a huge hit! Mika and Killian were fantastic and very accommodating, especially given the varying levels of interest from the little kids. Can't recommend enough! read more

I love Squeals on Wheels! We hired them for my daughter's first birthday. Their customer service is excellent at every point - the scheduling process is easy, they confirm details a few days before, they show up on time, and you just show them where to set up and they take it from there. They also really care for the animals and make sure they are comfortable and safe the entire time, while also making sure the kids are having a great experience. We had kids of all ages at the party, and I wondered if a petting zoo would interest all of them for long. I shouldn't have worried - the animals were the hit of the party the entire time they were there! read more

Best birthday party EVER for my 9 year old daughter and 24 friends. The animals were all so cute. What a treat! Highly recommend

Awesome company and service. We've had them at our parties for the last three years. Great fun and wonderful no mess setup in our basement of bunnies, chicks, ducks and even a piggie. The kids love them. read more

Amazing people. Adopted my little piggy from there. He's a brilliant little guy and they had him prepared for his forever home. He was litter trained with them, but once he got home and outside on his leash he didn't want to use the litter box and has been going potty outside ever since. He's so smart he almost trained us more then we trained him. He is also sitting and spinning on request. The few concerns I had with him being snarky were quickly addressed by Jill's suggestions. Many simple problems had simple things to correct them that I probably wouldn't have figured out without squeals on wheels. Any future pigs we may decide to adopt will come from squeals on wheels! Their love and attention shows in this little piggy. read more

Squeals on Wheels is the bee's knees! John & Jill brought their adorable menagerie to my niece's birthday party, and it was such fun for kids and adults alike. Among the critters were a miniature pony, a (mini) teacup pig, ducks, baby chicks, a huge rabbit named Minnie Mouse, three small white rabbits with blue eyes, and a really cool bird named Rolly Poly. John & Jill were great with the kids, really lovely, nice people. They are informative, patient and clearly care for and love their animals. It's a memorable experience that will delight animals lovers and perhaps even create animal lovers of people who haven't had a chance to see and pet animals in person. Highly recommended! read more

Fantastic activity for our 4 year old's birthday party! Perfect, adorable set up; good, cuddly fun for the kids, and super easy. Squeals on wheels staff were professional, clear and organized. We couldn't be happier with how the party went. read more

We hired squeals on wheels to bring a miniature horse to my preschool aged daughters birthday party. We were having a unicorn theme, and Jill dressed "prince" up as a unicorn (complete with a furry unicorn horn topper, pink cloth under the saddle, ribbons, etc.). He was a huge hit with everyone. The kids were thrilled at being able to ride a "unicorn" and he was very gentle and calm around the preschool aged kids. We had a couple of kids under 2 who were not at all afraid of riding him. In addition, Jill was a complete pleasure to work with. She was helpful, responsive, friendly, and reliable. As a bonus the service was very reasonable priced. They brought their petting zoo to our preschool's spring fair and it was also a huge hit with the kids to be able to hold and interact with the animals. I will without question hire them again for a future event. read more

Squeals On Wheels Petting Zoo - Prince the miniature horse as princess the unicorn. - Party Equipment Rentals Near Me

They did a fantastic job and had really cool animals and good quality employees. They were well organized, arrived early and provided high quality entertainment. Before I found them, I called multiple petting zoos and had difficulty getting them to pick up the phone or return calls or confirm availability. It was a lot of excuses and hassle. We almost gave up. Then we found Squeals on Wheels. They picked up the phone, confirmed availability in the same call, walked me through my options and pricing and were knowledgeable. Then (the best part), they lived up to their promises!! They did what they said they would, when they said they would. Bravo! read more

FIVE STARS for Squeals On Wheels. We have booked three Birthday parties over that last few years. The booking staff is very friendly and easy to work with. The staff that sets up and manages the animals during the parties have all been very friendly and knowledgable about the animals. You just can't go wrong with sweet farm animals and soft, fluffy bunnies to hold and pet until your hearts content! read more

I recently adopted my mini pig, Hamlet, from Jill of Squeals on Wheels. I did a lot of research beforehand and still did not expect him to be so intelligent and well behaved at 7 weeks old! Jill informed me that he had been to several petting zoos and was used to many people and lots of attention!! She gave my husband and I a lot of valuable information and generally cares for each and every pig while ensuring that they go to a great home. I would highly recommend Squeals on Wheels if you are looking to adopt a piggy or have some fun with a petting zoo. These people know their stuff and are animal lovers! read more

My 6 year old daughter loved this birthday party, and so did everyone else. It was easy as can be for us adults-- the organizers make it all a cinch and are great with kids and animals alike. Everyone loved seeing, holding and petting the animals. The bunnies, chicks, ducks and mini-horse Prince were all fab! What a special party. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Thank you for making our birthday party one we will never forget! read more

Thank you Squeals On Wheels for making our event so special and unforgettable. Snowball, Annie and Jeff are the sweetest bunnies. The kids loved holding and petting them. The ducks and chick were great additions too. So fun to see the ducks getting wet and then flapping their wings to dry off. MaryAnn was such a patient soul with all the kids answering their questions and listening to the fun facts they knew about animals. Such a peaceful and fun and bonding time for all. Thank you for the way you set the party up in our home---we couldn't tell you had been there after Maryann packed everyone up. You were on time and even lingered a bit longer so we could all say goodbye to our furry friends. Thanks!!! read more

We hired Squeals On Wheels for my daughters 1st birthday in Alexandria, VA this weekend and it was the best decision we ever made. We selected the Bunnies and Buddies party package and they brought chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, and bunnies. They arrived exactly on time and were so kind and helpful to all the kids (and grown ups) that wanted to hold the animals. I feel like the adults enjoyed the animals just as much as the kids. I'd also like to add that they were super easy to book, always responded in a timely manner, accommodating, and also made sure to follow up leading up to the event. I recommend this company to everyone and I would definitely book again. read more

We had Squeals on Wheels come for our daughter's 8th birthday party. Amy, our wonderful host, brought ducks, bunnies, chickens, a turtle, guinea pigs, and an adorable baby piggy.

I had Squeals on Wheels come to my house this past weekend for my 35th birthday party, and it was hands down the best decision ever. We had the Barnyard in a Backyard package with two alpacas and a goat, bunnies, ducks, baby chickens, guinea pigs, a Flemish Giant Rabbit, plus a teacup pig. It was such a hit, everyone loved holding and petting the animals. Jill was a pleasure in setting up the event (very responsive and accommodating), and Grant was very friendly and knowledgeable at the event itself. I wish alpacas could live in my backyard all the time. My mom and sister are already planning on the same event for my 40th birthday :) Thanks again, Jill and Grant! read more

What a great sweet sixteen! Thank you so much Squeals on Wheels! My lifelong dream of meeting a teacup pig has been accomplished. Organizing the party was super easy and everything worked out perfectly. Jill was so friendly and brought some very lovely animals for my friends and I to meet. I would highly recommend squeals on wheels to anyone who wants an unforgettable party! read more

I hired Squeals on Wheels for my son's barnyard themed 2nd birthday party. My son and I and all of our guests, both young and old, loved the petting zoo! The ducks, chickens and bunnies were adorable and clean, but the hit was the cute miniature pig! Our handler was friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job of managing our toddler bunch. The only drawback was the length of time it took her to setup, which caused us to push our mealtime back, so everyone was starving by the time we ate. Nonetheless, the petting zoo offered by Squeals on Wheels blew my son's mind and made his party spectacular! read more

We had a great time this past Saturday with the wonderful Squeals on Wheels. We did the small animals for my son's 1st birthday party. Crista was amazing answering all the questions the kids and adults asked. She set up and was prepared for all 9 of the kids. I hope in the future to do a zoo with larger animals but with the chance of rain I needed to make sure they could come inside. They put down a tarp and made sure all the animals were on it so if any accidents occurred my floor would be protected. I wish I could have kept all the animals for myself they were so cute! read more

Our town has used Squeals on Wheels for three events in the past few years. We just finished a morning petting session with our campers ages 5-19 and everyone had a great time. Squeals was able to estimate how much time it would take for the kids to lose interest (perfect!) and was flexible with our last-minute scheduling. Grant gave the kids a fun intro before playing with the animals. We will have them back again! read more

I worked with Grant (the co-owner) to plan a surprise 29th birthday for my girlfriend, and everything from our initial communication, to the follow ups, to event execution was a great experience. Grant and his team were timely, professional, and highly accommodating; meeting and exceeding all of our expectations. Whether you are kids or a group of ~30 year old adults like we are, Grant and the Squeals on Wheels services are definitely something to consider for all ages. I will certainly endorse this company and consider using their services again in the future! Thanks again, Grant! read more
