My regular pet sitter was unavailable when I went out of town in September, so I went to Yelp to find a trusted partner to care for my beasts in my absence. Waggy Tail was very easy to work with - they responded to me right away and had availability during the time I would be away. They have two options; a free video walk through or a $20 in home visit to review details with the caregiver. I opted for in person and enjoyed meeting Michelle in person before entrusting her with my cats' care. Michelle updated the app with photos and a report for each visit. Unfortunately, I wasn't checking email so I didn't see the notifications that she was updating the app. However, when I got home, I did see photos of my cats looking good with a little report on what happened during the visit. Waggy Tails is not cheap! The stated price is for 2 animals; there is an additional charge for each extra pet. The price is also double if you want 2x per day visits. However, the care was comprehensive - Michelle had no problem pilling my one cat that needs a daily medication and also handled all of the different food requests and feline pickiness with no problem. I would definitely use Waggy Tail again! They definitely remove a piece of travel stress by taking excellent care of your pets! read more

I hired this despicable service and the "sitter" I hired to stay for the duration of my dinner had left my dog alone. I came back from dinner and my dog had been left alone on a couch that she could not get off of. My dog was trembling and afraid. I have hired sitters all over the world for almost twenty years (for this dog and my last dog) and have NEVER experienced this. A sitter leaving before you get home????? Completely unacceptable NEVER trust your beloved pet to this horrible service!!! ZERO stars. I am furious! read more

I randomly found this service when I moved to Miami few months ago. I work 12 hour shifts and needed someone to walk my boys and feed them dinner as I get home late. My boys love their walker, lol, sometimes I think more than me. I've sneaked into my dog cam a few time and they are so excited every time she comes in. After their walk she gives them dinner and leaves the lights on so they aren't kept in the dark until I get home. Definitely recommend read more

My girlfriend and I are what you would call "overprotective" of our two small dogs. We are very picky about who we will allow to watch over them, because we demand and expect a very high standard of care. When we needed a place for them to stay, we went with Michelle and her Waggy Tail Pet Care service based on the phenomenal reviews left for her online. Afterwards, I was thoroughly impressed with the reasonable cost of services, her demeanor with the dogs, the lodgings she provides, and her attention to our very detailed instructions. Since then, we have consistently boarded our dogs with Michelle, including two extended stays. We were able to take these trips only because of our level of trust in Michelle and the peace of mind she delivers. Two side notes: 1) Our dogs go nuts when they see Michelle, which is a great sign. 2) She recommended a fantastic groomer to us. She knows her stuff! read more

Michelle and team are exactly what wanted for our little fur baby! When we relocated from ny to Miami we had the hardest time finding the right fit for lucy!

Enter Michelle and team.... great response time, keeps us updated via text and We truly trust them to take great care of our baby! read more

My husband and I recently boarded our Siberian Husky puppy while we were out of the country. Valentina was a true professional who clearly understands dogs. We had complete trust in her and appreciated her frequent updates and photos through not only WhatsApp (which was actually our preference) but also through a convenient portal where you answered a series of getting to know your dog, general questions.which were really pertinent. s Examples include: "Does your pet get along with other animals (dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, etc.), humans (men/women), children? "Do you wish to allow your dog to visit a fenced dog park for off leash exercise with other dog? and "Does your pet react to anything when being walked?" You can schedule dog walks and other services easily online, see your schedule and pay your invoice online. You can also communicate through conversation by a daily report with the number of walks (and their business as I like to call it), updates about their adventures, and photos. I am thankful for now having Waggy Tail in the future since unfortunately bringing our dog with us while we travel is not always an option. read more

This is not a drill. Michelle and Waggy Tail are phenomenal! I moved to the area and needed someone to walk/watch my dog (aka child) and Michelle and team made sure she was always cared for. Went above and beyond in always providing the best walks and day care for my baby as well as being there for last minute requests and advice. I cannot recommend them highly enough; Michelle and the team she put together really care for the animals and their clients. read more

How do you know for sure your dogs had a great time while you were away? They come back exhausted! Every day is a party at Waggy Tails. Our dogs scramble over each other to get out of the car as soon as we get to Michelle's home. Her backyard is every dog's dream. Lots of places to explore, plenty of room to run, and shade for those 2 minute breaks between games. It's a relief to know when we are away that they are in such good hands. We love the daily video clips of them having such a great time. If you live on the Beach, this is the place to board your furry loved ones. read more

Michelle has a magic touch with dogs, which is clearly influenced by how much she loves them, how intuitive she is to their needs, and how sweet she is with them! My dog Juju LOVES her more than almost anyone on earth! She gets so excited every one Michelle comes to get her! Plus, Michelle knows a ton about caring for dogs and has great referrals for vets, groomers and anything else you might need! She is trustworthy and probably the most reliable person I've found in Miami, which is saying a lot! A thousand thumbs up! read more

Michelle is always punctual and professional, very hard to come by in a city like Miami. I am very happy and grateful for her services. She is a life saver! HIGHLY Recommend. Michelle is your one stop shop for dog walking and services :) read more

Unfortunately I don't recommend, despite Michelle being very pleasant personally, thorough from an admin and scheduling perspective, and very punctual with pick ups and drop offs. I was visiting Miami on business direct from vacation and booked 2 nights for my dog after filling out michelles questionnaire and talking with her well in advance. My 6 lb daschund prefers human company to dog company and this seemed no issue when discussed. (It's no issue to the day care I use at home 3 times a week.) so, all seemed good. Anyway, 2 hours after drop off, Michelle called me (while I was in meetings an hour away) sounding stressed, saying "I didn't know your dog was so anxious" (the first person to say that about her) and wanting to give her back and cancel the 2nd night. Very frustrating since I was in a business trip. I spent the rest of the day upset and trying to find a pet taxi to relieve Michelle of the dog I'd paid in advance for her to care for. I pay businesses to be problem solvers and know how to do their job. In the case of dog sitters, transitioning dogs and being the alpha in the pack is a requirement of good sitters. The cancellation in my opinion was a lazy, unprofessional move from someone that doesn't actually know how to transition dogs to her environment, had better things to do than be with the dog, and was unable to be the alpha pack leader (reminder, my dog is a non-aggressive 6 lb teacup). So, Michelle retuned the dog that same day And Michelle still charged me in full for an overnight. Cheesy move. No hard feelings Michelle, I wish you all the docile dogs you can handle. read more

Trust I do! I am particular and have tried many locally grown companies and they have a great team, they come over when I am not home and always reliable! I love my little rug rats! Michelle loves them too and they love her LOL!!!! If your a regular like me makes sense to get the package deal, save a bit, and know your dogs are in best of hands! They always know she is coming and can't wait to see her! Go Waggy Tail! I get amazing photos in the daily adventure reports which are really cool! It's a real doggy day care for my little guys to enjoy during the day. Thank you!!!! Woof woof!!!!!!! read more

My wife and I have used this company two times now for little getaways we have. Honestly, I was a bit worried about leaving my dog and cats with a stranger, but after meeting Michelle and Amber, and seeing how my pets responded and reacted towards them, I can tell you my conscience is clear. Michelle is a professional and you can tell by how they document their walks with GPS and pictures. It really makes us feel good when we know our fur-babies are in good hands! read more

Michelle is amazing with our fur baby Blue (puppy Great Dane), we couldn't be happier with the service that she provides. She is very trust worthy, professional, responsive and flexible. Michelle has a great website where you can document a doggie profile - she notes all details to take care of your pup as well as you would and it is obvious how much our pup loves her. Our favorite part of the Waggy Tail walk services is that we get a nice write up about the walk with amazing pictures of our fur baby- it always makes me happy to read and see the cute pictures!! I highly recommend Waggy Tail Pet Care!!! Truly the best. read more

Waggy Tail is the best! You don't need to take it from me, your pet will tell you by its happiness and excitement to see the members of the Waggy Tail team! Our dog, June, absolutely adores Michelle and it shows how much Michelle loves June back! We are always at ease leaving June in Waggy Tail's care because we can tell she is loved and has so much fun all day (she's usually very happy and sleepy when she comes home). We would recommend the Waggy Tail team to our family and friends and hope to work with them for many many years to come! read more

I am so glad I chose waggy tail pet care to watch over our 3 cats during our travels. Michelle and Amber were timely and professional. After each visit, they write up a detailed report with pictures to ensure you can see that the your pet is in good hands. When one of our babies got sick and threw up 7x around the house, Michelle was quick to alert me, sent pics, and cleaned up! Their committment to detail is what I love the most, and they ensure everything is perfect and buttoned up prior to finishing up the job, so our kitties were left happy and secure every time. I have already booked waggy tail for my next trip because they give me the peace of mind I need when traveling. :) read more

We are so grateful for Michelle! We were visiting Miami for NYE and needed to board our Bernese puppy Sierra for 2 nights (while we partied!). Michelle was extremely prompt and thorough in taking care of our needs. She invited us to her online portal, sent us invoices electronically, and was available by phone every step of the way. When we arrived in Miami, Michelle followed up with the address where we could drop off Sierra, which was less than a mile from where we were staying. We made a mistake and took Sierra to the beach, and it caused her to get diarrhea. Our hosts, Valentina and Justin, took excellent care of her, feeding her carrots and monitoring her closely (we later found out that the salt water from the beach can cause diarrhea, oops!). We had a wonderful experience with Michelle and will definitely call her next time we are back visiting in Miami. read more

Waggy Tail Pet Care has been an exceptional dog walking service! Right from the very beginning Michelle made me feel very felt comfortable. My dog Jake gets two walks a day and each walker is so caring, professional, personable and always on time. Elena and Maritza have always gone above and beyond as well as the other dog walkers. They always send photos and a daily recap of the walk. The team is very organized and they always communicate with me. We will continue to recommend Michele and her team! read more

I never have to worry leaving my baby, Toshi, in Michelle's hands. She not only makes sure he is well fed, cleaned up after, and spoiled, she also keeps my mind at ease when I'm away by sending me a photo and an update each time she comes. My cat is extremely shy and timid, and started greeting her when she came, which shows he trusts her as well :). Definitely recommend her services for anyone that wants peace of mind when out of town and leaving their fur babies. read more
