DESIGN NOTE:
Don't worry, this is a hidden canvas. You can delete it after you read this. FYI, this top section is going to look strange, but it functions beautifully in the live preview, so don't delete the second section that appears blank / to have a weird gap! It's so the text will load over it beautifully.
Since the text is white and hard to see, just briefly turn the text black to edit, then back to white, or you can make it black and change the top background colors instead! — Jen
Seamless Dog Inclusion for Your Wedding Day or Weekend
Because if your dog is going to be present, they deserve the same level of intention you’re giving to every other detail.
Why couples trust us with the most important member of their family.
Not everyone can care for a dog at a wedding. And not every dog should be part of one.
That’s where we come in.
We aren’t here to be the star of the show. We’re here to quietly hold space for your dog, collaborate with your vendor team, and help everything flow the way you envisioned it. Our work starts before the big day, and it doesn’t stop until your dog is safely home.
After supporting over 120 couples, we’ve learned how to adapt to tight timelines, intimate moments, last-minute changes, and sensitive dogs. It’s not just about making your dog “photo ready.” It’s about helping them feel safe, included, and grounded—so you can be, too.
You won’t find us standing off to the side in sneakers with a branded fanny pack. We follow the dress code. We move with intention. We blend in.
We don’t just know dogs. We know weddings. And that makes all the difference.
Next, we’ll walk you through what it looks like to have us by your side—whether it’s for the ceremony or the full weekend.
The Plus the Pups Experience
"I would not trust my (very high maintenance) dog with anyone else. From our initial consultation I knew she was my people and would do whatever it took to keep my dog safe during our wedding. I had no stress about him and he is usually the biggest stress that I have."
— Julianne, 2024 Bride
"We can’t thank PTP enough for helping make our wedding day so special by including our three German Shorthaired Pointers! They’re full of energy and a little bit wild—but Plus the Pups handled them like absolute pros. It was such a relief knowing that our dogs were in loving and capable hands while we focused on enjoying our big day."
— Ryan and Amanda, 2024 Couple

dog-inclusive day
Connect
This casual call is a chance to get to know your pup, your plans, and what matters most to you. No pressure—just real conversation, deep understanding, and a shared love for dogs.
Honestly? Sometimes we cry together—because your dog means that much to you. And we understand.
Secure Your Date
After our call, we’ll send a personalized proposal based on everything we discussed. When you're ready to move forward, your date is officially reserved once the agreement is signed and the retainer is paid.
Planning & Details
We coordinate directly with your planner, photographer, and venue to stay aligned on timeline and logistics. You’ll also have an in-person meet & greet with your handler to ensure your dog feels safe and supported before the big day.
Wedding Day or Weekend Support
From pickup to drop-off, we handle everything with intention. Your dog is calm, cared for, and exactly where they’re meant to be—while you stay present and in the moment.
Serving Colorado, Michigan and Beyond
We provide full support from pickup to drop-off, ensuring your dog is safe, calm, and exactly where they need to be throughout the day. Whether they’re walking down the aisle or simply there for photos, we handle every detail so you don’t have to.
We require one handler per dog to ensure dedicated care and focus. If you're including more than one pup, we’ll thoughtfully build that into your plan.
Because your dog’s care deserves the same attention you’re giving to every other part of your day.
From the welcome party to the final sendoff, we’re on-call and fully integrated into your wedding weekend. Whether your pup is joining for one event or several, we manage every detail of their care, comfort, and coordination—so you can stay present, knowing they’re safe and supported every step of the way.
This isn’t dog sitting. This is professional, concierge-level care—built around your vision and your dog’s well-being.

In some regions—such as Colorado mountain towns or Michigan’s Upper Peninsula—overnight accommodations may still be required due to distance or accessibility.
We're also available for destination weddings across the U.S. If you're planning a celebration outside our home states, we’d love to hear more. We'll create a custom proposal that reflects your location, travel needs, and timeline.
And no, we don’t offer pre-set packages—intentionally. Every dog is different. Every wedding is different. Your dog deserves a care plan built just for them.
Wedding Weekend Experience
Tell us About Your Pup.
We'll Take it From There.
We work with couples who love their dogs like family—and want them cared for with the same trust, thoughtfulness, and intention they’ve given to every other part of the day.
Yes, we love the cute moments. But this is about peace of mind, presence, and knowing your dog is safe, supported, and included in the moments that matter most to you.
If that sounds like you, fill out the form below.
We can’t wait to hear about your pup!
Now booking 2025 with limited availability.
Serving couples in Colorado, Michigan, and anywhere your dog's invited.
When should we book with you?
As soon as you’ve chosen your venue or planner. Popular dates fill quickly—especially during peak seasons—so the earlier, the better.
Can you handle more than one dog?
Yes—but we require one attendant per pup, and since we don’t overbook our team, we recommend securing your date as early as possible.
Can you just bring our dog for a quick photo?
We’re not built for quick cameos—every booking includes full care, transport, and coordination to ensure your dog is safe and supported. This is reflected in our starting price.
What if my dog is reactive, shy, or unpredictable?
You’re not alone—and we’ve worked with all kinds of personalities. We’ll talk through their behavior and make a plan that prioritizes their comfort (and yours).
What if our dog needs overnight care?
Overnight care is included in our Wedding Weekend service; for other events, we’re happy to stay with your dog in a dog-friendly hotel, but we do not provide in-home boarding.
Will you stay with our dog until we get home?
We're happy to stay with your dog as long as needed. If care is required late into the night or overnight, we'll include that in your plan ahead of time.
Are you certified dog trainers?
We’re not certified trainers—yet. But we are experienced handlers, event professionals, and devoted dog parents who are trained to spot signs of overwhelm, advocate for your dog, and adjust on the fly—because your pup’s comfort always comes first.
Do you charge travel fees?
Travel is included across most of Colorado and Michigan. If your wedding involves long distances, multiple locations, or lodging, additional fees may apply—we'll go over it once your full plan comes together.
