Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, all packages include a Zoom and/or in-person meet-and-greet. This allows me to build rapport with your dog, review their routines, and align with your vision for the day.

  • Yes, my services are exclusively designed for dogs so I can specialize in their behavior, comfort, and care.

  • No, I do not board dogs.

  • I recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak wedding seasons. A 90-120 day lead time is ideal to allow for proper planning and introductions.

  • I offer a range of packages. There is a 3-hour minimum for services. Some clients need me for just a few hours, while others prefer full-day coverage. I’ll customize the schedule to fit your timeline and your dog’s needs.

  • I understand plans can change. My policy allows rescheduling with advance notice. A full copy of our terms and conditions is available upon booking. Please see the bottom of the Services page for a high-level view of our policies.

  • Pricing depends on the length of the event, location, and any add-on services. Custom quotes are provided after a consultation.

  • I come prepared for touch-ups and cleanup. I bring wipes, towels, lint rollers, and other essentials to ensure your pup looks photo-ready throughout the event.

  • Absolutely! I can help manage timing, positioning, and cues so your dog can walk down the aisle, pose for portraits, or greet guests—without disrupting your day. All of this will depend upon what your dog is comfortable with and capable of. I will meet with you and your dog before the event to assess, and we can come up with a plan that will work for everyone and ensure that we meet your needs and, of course, your dog's needs, strengths, and limitations.

  • I always start with a pre-event consultation to understand your dog’s personality, training, and triggers. If we determine your dog might struggle in a high-stimulus setting, we’ll offer alternative options. I will always come to the event prepared with calming and enrichment tools to help ease your dog and keep them engaged during essential moments and when we are behind the scenes.

  • Yes, I have a maximum of 2 dogs per event

    • Yes, we can discuss this and more when we meet. However, here are a few examples:

      • Leash, harness, and collar with ID tags: Ensure these are secure and your dog is comfortable wearing them. Secure and well-fitted; consider a wedding-themed or photo-friendly set

      • Water, Food, and Treats: Keeping your dog hydrated is crucial, especially in warmer weather or if they will be excited. Food for mealtime and, of course, treats. Enough for the full chaperoning period. I will also have approved treats, but it is always good to have treats that are given at home

      • Clear instructions: for feeding, medication, and any special needs or quirks your dog may have. Include amounts, timing, and specific instructions

      • Their favorite toy(s): Toys can help keep your dog entertained and provide comfort during the wedding day activities.

      • Bed, or blanket: A familiar scent and comfortable space can help your dog relax in a new environment.

      • Any Outfits/Accessories: Bow ties, flower crowns, tuxes, bandanas, or anything the dog is wearing for the ceremony or photos. I can assist you with the dressing.

      • A copy of your dog's up-to-date vet card and chip number: This is crucial information in case of any medical emergencies

      • An emergency contact number/ Vet Contact Info + Emergency Plan: Provide a backup contact in case the primary contact (you) is unavailable during the wedding. Just in case something comes up, have a plan and a point of contact.

      • Information about the wedding: venue name, phone, and address. A quiet space available for your dog at the venue: This allows for plan for breaks and downtime for your dog

      • Timeline + Key Contact Info: Ceremony and reception times, arrival/departure details, planner name and phone number, venue and photographer info and contact.

      • Logistics and Transportation Info: Who is responsible for pickup/drop-off, names, addresses, phone numbers, and times? Where is the dog’s final destination, and who will I be handing them over to? I do not board 

      • Photo Schedule + Must-Have Shots: I want to ensure I know when and where the dog is needed so that I can work smoothly with the photographer.

      • Details about the dog's role in the wedding: Whether they are the ring bearer, a flower dog, or simply attending. I will need to understand what my full duties will require.

      • Any concerns or worries you may have about: your dog's behavior or well-being during the wedding. Open communication will help address these issues proactively.
