Why choose Sniff & Wiggles?

Because your dog deserves the very best... at least that is what the dogs told us.

  • Loving & Experienced Team - Every shift is led by a seasoned staff member with at least three years of hands-on experience in canine care. Supporting team members are always nearby, gently observing playtime, monitoring health, and nurturing your pup's emotional well-being.
  • Joyful & Safe Playgroups - Your dog will spend the day with friendly, pre-screened companions in carefully supervised playgroups—never left alone, always in good company.
  • Health & Safety Always Come First - We follow strict vaccination, cleanliness, and health protocols to help keep every pup healthy. If illness ever arises, we will inform you right away through our Paw Partners app. Any dog showing signs of illness will be lovingly separated and cared for.
  • Thoughtful Monitoring & Communication - We believe in keeping you in the loop. You will hear about any minor bumps or sniffles at pickup, and we will contact you immediately for anything more serious. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our highest priorities.
