Include Your Best Friend in Your Big Day. Leave the Stress to me.
Professional Wedding Dog Chaperone services for Dane County and beyond. I handle the logistics so you can focus on the "I do".
Why Hire a Professional Wedding Dog Chaperone?
You want your dog in the photos, but you don't want to worry about who is holding the leash, picking up waste, or keeping them calm during the ceremony. Asking a guest to watch the dog means they miss out on the celebration (and the cocktail hour).
​
The Solution: Hire a professional. As a certified trainer, I know how to manage excitement in high-stress environments, navigate crowds, and ensure your dog looks their best for the photographer—all while you enjoy your day.
How it Works
The Consult: We chat about your venue, timeline, and your dog's personality to help decide if they would be a good fit as a wedding guest.
The Meet & Greet: I meet your dog about a month beforehand to build trust (essential for shy dogs!). Some dogs may require several meet and greets before the big day.
The Coordination: I connect with your Wedding Planner and/or Photographer to sync schedules. I will also connect with you to cover dress code and any last minute wishes.
The Big Day: I arrive early, exercise your pup, dress them in their attire, and get ready for the main event.

More than just a pet sitter
Weddings are chaotic. There are loud speakers, crowds, food temptations, and tight timelines. As a Certified Behavior Consultant, I don't just hold the leash. I actively advocate for your dog's stress levels. I can help:
​
-
Keep a dog calm before walking down the aisle.
-
Position a dog for photos so they look engaged, not stressed.
-
Safely manage interactions with guests and children.
