Wedding dog chaperone Your dog at your wedding, without having to keep an eye on it

A role in the ceremony, the photos, minding it during the party. The vendors in the directory who look after your pet on the day.

1 approved vendor 1 province

Your dog is part of the family and deserves its place on the big day. But a wedding means crowds, noise and long hours. A dog chaperone is someone who does this for a living: they bring your pet, get it ready, guide it through the ceremony and take it somewhere quiet when the party starts. You just enjoy the day.

Just one for now. The page will grow with the directory.

Or by province

Listings are not spread evenly across the provinces. That is why the province is a filter here, and not a page of its own.

How to prepare for bringing your dog along

  1. 1Decide on its roleCarrying the rings, walking down the aisle, posing for the family photos: a short, clear role is easier to prepare than being there all day.
  2. 2Check the venue allows dogsSome reception venues do not allow animals, others just not indoors. Ask the venue before you book the vendor.
  3. 3Plan a quiet cornerShade, water, its bed. Even a very sociable dog needs a break away from the crowd.
  4. 4Arrange a meeting beforehandYour dog needs to know the person who will guide it. A meeting, or even a rehearsal, avoids surprises on the day.
  5. 5Think about afterwardsWho takes it home, at what time, and where does it sleep? Some vendors keep it overnight, at their place or at yours.

Five questions to ask

  • How long do you stay with our dog on the day?
  • Do you pick it up from our home, and bring it back?
  • Can you keep it overnight, at your place or ours?
  • Which animals do you look after, apart from dogs?
  • Do you arrange a meeting or a rehearsal before the wedding?

What it costs

The price depends mainly on the duration: the ceremony and photos, the whole day, or the night as well. Transport, grooming and the outfit sometimes come on top of the basic package.

Each vendor shows their starting price on their listing.

Frequently asked questions

Can my dog really come to my wedding?

Yes, if the venue allows dogs and yours can handle crowds and noise. A first meeting with the vendor helps you judge.

What if it's not a dog?

Some vendors also take cats, rabbits or other animals. Each listing shows which animals they look after.

What does my dog do during the meal and the evening?

Depending on the package, the vendor keeps it somewhere quiet on site, takes it back to your home or keeps it overnight.
