Our service is not just a pet taxi—it’s a high-touch, professional mobility solution led by Dr. Leslie DiManna, whose executive background and commitment to excellence ensure every pet is treated with the compassion and dignity of a family member.

Our rapid-response pet transport sets a new standard in safety and professionalism. Every urgency ride leverages our specialized van—originally a college shuttle-outfitted for crate-free, seat-belted pet travel. Unlike cargo-style services, your companion rides in comfort, secured in individual seats or boosters, never in a crate. With USDA certification, our operation meets stringent federal standards, and our leadership’s business expertise translates to flawless logistics and transparent communication. We coordinate with veterinary offices in advance, confirm payment protocols, and keep you informed throughout the journey. Whether you’re a busy professional in Providence, a senior in assisted living in Warwick, or a pet parent in South County dealing with summer traffic, our system is built to meet the region’s unique challenges-delivering both dignity and speed when your pet’s wellbeing can’t wait.

Stress can make emergencies worse, which is why our urgency rides prioritize your pet’s emotional and physical safety. Our van is climate controlled and equipped with GPS tracking, so you can monitor the journey in real time. Pets are always harnessed or in booster seats-never crated-ensuring a calm, comfortable ride even in high-stress moments. We proudly serve all Rhode Island counties and select Massachusetts cities, navigating bridge construction and seasonal traffic with expert planning. Our protocols include direct coordination with vet clinics, so your pet is received by medical staff immediately upon arrival. From sugar gliders and hedgehogs to senior dogs, every animal receives the same standard of care. The Doggie Waggin’ delivers not just a ride, but a tailored emergency logistics solution designed for families who expect more than basic transport.

When the unexpected happens, choosing the right partner for your pet’s emergency transport is critical. The Doggie Waggin’ combines professional-grade logistics with a family-first approach, treating every pet like our own. Our founder’s expertise as a Dean and two-time cancer survivor shapes a culture of resilience, care, and flawless execution. We serve high-performing professionals, seniors, and families who demand more than a basic pet ride-they want peace of mind, time back, and complete assurance that their loved one is in the best hands. Our no-cargo philosophy and commitment to open communication means you’re never in the dark, from the first call to arrival at the clinic. In moments of crisis, we’re the compassionate, professional solution you can count on.
