ABOUT US

Family-owned, community-focused pet care

We started Wiggly World with a vision for attentive, enrichment-focused pet care in a natural and open space that would meet our high standards for our own fur babies Grizzly Bear and Archie Hops. Since opening our doors in the beautiful and historic Irving Park neighborhood in 2021, we’ve been able to do just that. 

Founders of Wiggly World, Vince and Angie

Our collective experience in pet care and operations, with Angie as an experienced professional dog walker and vet tech and Vince as a manager in the retail industry, has allowed us to build the daycare and boarding facility of our dreams. We are both highly involved in the day-to-day operations of Wiggly World and train every staff member to maintain a culture of love and support for our wiggle-butts. 

Wiggly World is family-owned and community-focused, meaning we treat your pets like our own family. We’re invested in each and every one of the dogs in our pack and are so proud to be part of their lives as caretakers. We’re so grateful to each and every one of our pet parents for working with us to create a wonderful environment for our dogs to play, lounge, and learn together. 

Thanks for being part of the Wiggly World pack!

OUR CORE VALUES

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
We focus on small playgroups for the safest and most rewarding experience for our Wigglers. A traditional daycare and boarding facility will take on 50+ dogs at a time, which can be overwhelming for even the most sociable pooches. Think of Wiggly World like Montessori learning for your pup, with specialized, one-on-one attention and care in a clean, open, and natural learning environment.

COLLABORATION
It takes a village to give our pets the best care possible. Honesty and open communication with our pet parents is the key to a successful, trusting relationship. 

​SAFETY
We believe in a safety-first approach. All Wiggly World staff are highly-trained pet care professionals with pet first aid and CPR training. All pet parents must ensure that vaccinations and proper documentation are up-to-date to ensure the safest environment for our beloved animals.​​

RESPECT
We have the utmost respect for our animals and pet parents, and we ask that that respect be reciprocated for our staff and everyone in our community. This creates a safe, loving environment for our Wigglers to thrive.

OUR SPACE

3,000 square feet of open space for our wiggle-butts to play! We have indoor and fenced-in outdoor spaces for our dogs to play, lounge, and learn with their pals all day long. We even hired a feng-shui consultant to design the optimal space for our pups.
