WE are
PLUS THE PUPS
It started with a Rover request and a Goldendoodle named Teddy.
In 2021, Nick and Karla reached out about their wedding weekend in the mountains of Lyons, Colorado. They needed someone to care for their Goldendoodle, Teddy, and bring him to their day; I said yes without hesitation.
At some point during the day I looked around and thought: if I weren't here, who would be with him? A friend pulled in two directions? A family member trying to enjoy the wedding? Another vendor with their own timeline? Teddy would have been fine, but only half taken care of.
Teddy is the reason Plus the Pups exists. He's also the answer to a question many couples don't realize they're asking yet: how do I show up as the dog parent I always am, on a day I want to be fully present with everyone I love?
You hire us.

The Manifesto
We are not dog sitters. Dog sitters are wonderful for what they do. But what we do has nothing to do with dog sitting. A dog sitter watches your dog in a familiar environment where they already feel safe. We show up on the most emotionally charged day of your life, in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by crowds, complex emotions, tight timelines, and every single person your dog loves, none of whom can give them their full attention. That is not dog sitting. That requires something entirely different.
That's what Plus the Pups is. We are dedicated wedding dog concierge professionals. We are the steady, grounded presence your dog orients to when everything around them is loud, emotional, and overwhelming. We read the room so your dog doesn't have to, absorb the energy of the day so it never touches them, and handle every detail of their wedding day experience, from the moment we arrive to the moment we leave.
This is not about adding a cute detail. It's about peace of mind. Knowing completely, fully, without a shadow of doubt that your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you are fully present in the most important moments of your life.
Our Values
Your Dog Feels What You Feel
We prioritize calm, grounded presence so your dog has a steady nervous system to orient to, even in the most high-energy environments.
We Follow Their Lead
We don't force behavior or push dogs past their capacity. We read body language, respond in real time, and support regulation through connection, movement, and space.
Your Dog's Experience Comes First
Every decision is made with your dog's comfort, safety, and emotional well-being in mind. If something isn't in their best interest, we speak up, always.
We Disappear Into the Day
Your wedding day should feel effortless. We work quietly alongside planners, photographers, and venues so your dog's presence enhances the day rather than disrupting it.
We Mean What We Say
We communicate clearly, arrive prepared, and follow through on everything. Peace of mind comes from consistency, not promises.
your dog will feel
EVERY BIT OF IT.
"The professionalism and care she brings to her craft is worth every penny. If you’re anything like us, and think one of your wedding party members or family can handle your pet during wedding day, I assure you hiring a dog concierge is necessary. There will be so many moving parts and high emotions on your wedding day and your dog will feel every bit of it. Having a professional like Hollie there to not only regulate your pet’s emotions, but yours as well will be the best decision you can make."

Hi, I'm Hollie.
My friends call me Hol.
When I'm not at weddings, I'm attached to my dog Chaco. I always say the hardest part of my job is being away from him, and honestly, the co-dependent relationship we have is something my clients and I bond over on our connection calls. Sometimes we cry about it. It's a whole thing.
When I'm not immersing myself in nature, I'm reading, baking paleo desserts that are actually delicious, journaling, working out, or spending time with my best friends. All the things that keep me grounded so I can show up for my clients, their dogs, and my team the way they deserve.
"Her energy and ability to create a safe space and sense of calm is unmatched."
