Wedding Chaperone Service

We at Swanage Pet Services are here to be your beloved pooches plus one at your special day!

We know you would love to have your dog be a part of your beautiful special day… However, with everyone you love and trust already attending themselves, and it being a wonderful, albeit busy and full-on day for all, we are here to help you and your dog get the most out of your dream day, just the way you imagined it.

Let us help your treasured dog be included in the magical memories, enjoying all aspects of the day, schmoozing the guests, (avoiding the canapés!) posing for photographs, having lots of love, fun, play and cuddles, fulfilling a special role if you wish- all while staying calm and cared for throughout.

Your dog can look forward to having all their individual needs met pre, during and post wedding ceremony, and throughout the day and beyond- So that you can fully relax, be present and responsibility free on your special day.

We have multiple packages of care you can choose from, and we will liaise with any of your wedding planners, venue staff and professional photographers on the day so that everything runs smoothly. You can simply be present, and fully enjoy making unforgettable memories with your spouse, family, friends and cherished pet alongside you.

We are here to make your wedding day as stress free as possible, and make sure your dog has the best time being included in your magical day.

We offer everyone a free initial consultation call/email to discuss your needs and wishes.

Please reach out today to arrange your free chat and get to know us better.
