When everyone you trust to care for your dog is at your wedding, who do you turn to?
While you focus on your wedding, we take care of your dog’s every need by getting them suited up, fed, watered, walked, cared for, and transported to your venue. You won’t have to worry about whether your dog ate, if they’ll pee on something they aren’t supposed to, or if they’ll get over eager in the hype and excitement. We’ll take care of everything related to your dog at your wedding (even the things you haven’t thought of) and help you include your best friend easily and seamlessly.
That’s why we act as your stand-in pet parents during your wedding.
Dogs are family and they should be part of your special day! But when you have an excited pup who loves to run, jump, and play, it’s not so easy to figure out who will care for your dog, where they’ll be during your wedding, and how to make sure they’re safe, taken care of, and accommodated during your celebration.
LIKE OUR OWN.

“Receiving our gallery after the wedding was amazing. Madeline was so good at getting the dog’s point of view! We thought, "Oh, the dog is just going to be part of the pictures", but Madeline said, “No, the dog is the main attraction and you guys are extras.” She’s so good at what she does. When I showed everyone the photos, they thought they were taken by a professional photographer.”
- Jen A.
“The biggest benefit of working with Madeline was being able to have our dog with us on our special day. It’s such a niche service and we were lucky to get it. We also really appreciated the overnight boarding in their home where we knew our dog was with someone we trusted. Madeline was ready to be our stand-in dog-parent for the weekend. We’re so grateful we found her.”
- Stephanie L.
“I would recommend Madeline to anyone. She was always in communication with us about Bailey. We wanted our dog to be a part of our wedding, and Madeline made that happen. She took care of trying to figure out who was going to take care of our dog when all our family and friends and people we trusted were also going to be at our wedding. We were very happy with everything.”

Need us to care for your dog the night before, on, or after your wedding? No worries! We are also experienced pet sitters and dog walkers who can happily watch your pets while you’re celebrating your wedding. Just ask when you inquire, or read more about our pet sitting services here.
Pet Sitting and Boarding Before or After Your Wedding
Before you know it, we’ll be on a first-name basis. Because you deserve to know, trust, and have peace of mind when it comes to your dog. That’s luxury, 5-star pet care– and if you aren’t thoroughly impressed, we aren’t doing our job!
Together, we build the perfect itinerary and accommodations for your dog so you can both enjoy your celebration.
Since we’re a boutique pet care company, we don’t outsource to third parties. The person you meet with is the person who will be caring for your dog on your wedding day.
Oh, and one more thing... we won’t just be internet strangers you meet for the first time on your wedding day. We meet with you and your pup before the wedding day.
As pet parents ourselves (of three doodles!), we know it’s a big deal to trust someone else with your fur baby. That’s why we meet with every couple after booking but before your wedding day to build trust with you and your pup.
A wedding dog attendant is a pet care professional handling your dog for special events, in this case, weddings! For pet parents who want to include their fur baby in their event but already have everyone they trust participating in their wedding, we care for, dress up, and photograph your dog so they can be part of your wedding.
What is a dog wedding attendant?
question 01 of 10
A wedding dog attendant has the expertise, training, and handling of dogs at formal events. Happy Bark & Tails will work with your dog and even create an itinerary for them to always be on time. We will coordinate all the fine details with your wedding planner before the wedding to ensure we are arriving promptly.
What is a wedding dog attendant?
question 02 of 10
We may be called dog wedding attendants, but we’re essentially your dog's personal assistant for the day. We have the expertise to keep your pup entertained while coping with large crowds of people. We know you love your dog to the moon and back — but not to worry about your dog jumping on you and getting your dress or tux dirty. We'll ensure paws are off your attire unless instructed otherwise.
What if my dog gets excited easily?
question 03 of 10
We are experienced self-proclaimed "dog head tilters"– our photo assistance during your pictures will be pretty epic! In addition, we carry a well-equipped bag of top-secret goodies that will make any dog tilt their head for pictures.
Can you really get pictures of my dog?
question 04 of 10
Transportation is included in all of our wedding attendant packages for your convenience. Our method of transportation is on our Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van, a tiny home on wheels equipped with all the safety gear you can imagine. Our van has a safety crate for your dog and a comfy bed. Of course, everyone must wear seat belts - dogs included! If your dog hates the crate, that's no biggie; we can gladly make a plan to accommodate your furbaby for that scenario.
Do you provide transportation?
question 05 of 10
Let us work with your venue! We're not magicians, but we are solution seekers. We will contact your venue and find out their exact policies and limitations with having your dog on your wedding day. Most venues do not allow dogs on their premises due to insurance and liability. If the venue's "no pet policy" is super strict, we will happily work with you and talk through other ways you can include your dog in your wedding day, as well as set a plan to bring them for photos at your desired location.
What if the venue isn’t dog-friendly?
question 06 of 10
Our insurance coverage could provide your venue with the assurance of no liability since we assume full responsibility for your dog. This opens up lots of flexibility, and they might want to give us an exact plan of action on how we can help you include your pup. Furthermore, if the venue's "no pet policy" is super strict, we will happily work with you and talk through other ways you can include your dog in your wedding day, as well as set a plan to bring them for photos at your desired location.
What does your insurance cover?
question 07 of 10
Short answer: yes. We've never met a dog that wasn't a little nuts :) We believe every dog is different, and therefore, we have a different approach to every dog we serve. We always have a meet-and-greet in-home consultation to get to know your pup so we can create a customized plan for your dog to thrive on the day of your wedding.
My dog is nuts! Can you help me?
question 08 of 10
We sure can. We happily offer post-wedding care for your pup. We’re happy to share more when you inquire!
Can care for my dog after the wedding?
