Business

 

My wife Jessica and I started our petting zoo and pony ride service in 2009. In 2021, after Covid hit we focused on animal rescue and how to help as many homeless farm animals as we could.

​

The Name

​

One of Jessica's favorite Disney Characters is Jiminy Cricket. In the story of Pinocchio, Jiminy was given the task of becoming Pinocchio's conscience, and teaching him the difference between right and wrong.  We always felt that allowing children to meet and fall in love with animals would teach them compassion, kindness, and how to take care of something smaller than themselves.

 

Much like Jiminy Cricket was the voice in Pinocchio's ears helping him to do the right thing, we hope our animals can make an impact on children and as they grow up, they will also have that little voice of Crickets mobile petting zoo whispering to look after animals and to help animals whenever they can.

The Idea

 

When our son, Ryder, turned one in December of 2009, the theme of his birthday party was "John Deere Baby's 1st Birthday". The idea of the petting zoo originated because of this birthday party. We started looking around for a mobile petting zoo and were shocked at some of the prices for bringing animals to our home.

​

Because of the lack of options with the mobile zoos' in our area, I thought it would be a great idea to start one ourselves. We are now in our 14th year of business and it has truly been a wonderful experience and we thank all of you that have supported us thus far. We truly aim to be the best mobile petting zoo in Atlanta. We look forward to sharing our animals with people for many years to come! Give us a shot; you won't be disappointed!

​

As our business has grown we have found another calling that is to rescue animals. We are now at a point where most of our animals are surrendered or rescued. It is a passion of Jessica's to help as many animals as we can.
