Purfect Service!

Doggy Social was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day! Lori Thomas took such great care of our dog, Joji, and made sure he had everything he needed—food, water, and lots of comfort when he got a little anxious about not being right next to us. She even brought a squeaky toy to help him look at the camera during photos, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Lori was incredibly reliable and made sure Joji got to every part of the day on time. The end-of-night update once he was safely back home was also so appreciated—it gave us so much peace of mind.

We’re so grateful to Doggy Social for helping Joji be part of our big day. Can’t recommend them enough!

Wonderful experience

I can’t say enough good things about this vendor. Doggy social is absolutely amazing. We have two big dogs and two cats and Rachel and Annamarie went above and beyond to make sure they were all well taken care of. They came over to the house the week before our wedding to meet all of the pets and we knew they were in great hands. They were super professional, the communication was great and we knew we could trust them with our “babies” we were so relieved we wouldn’t have to worry about the pets on the day of our wedding. They brought both of the dogs to the venue and did such a great job handling our 100 pound overly excited German Shepherd and catered to our senior girls special needs. I was originally worried as our shepherd is very high energy and is by no means an easy dog when she is excited, but doggy social was not fazed in the slightest, they did an amazing job with her! It was so great to get updates from them throughout the day and see all the great photos they took. Thank you Doggy Social for taking such great care of our pets, highly recommend!

I wish I could give them 10 stars!

This was one of our favorite vendors on our reception day! We got married during COVID and had a reception two years later, during which time we got our puppy, Winston. Our pet assistant Shannon was incredible! She helped our pup pose for adorable photos, and walked him around our cocktail hour to meet our guests. It made our reception stress free to know our dog was with someone who is passionate about caring for pets! Shannon was also energetic and so flexible. I would 100% recommend to anyone that wants their special pets to be present on their wedding day!

Doggy Social is a must if your dog will be a part of your wedding!

I am so glad we hired Doggy Social as a pet attendant for our big day. We could not have been happier with their services. We met our pet attendant, Shannon, a week ahead of our wedding at my mother-in-law's home where our dog would be staying. She was so attentive when we explained everything, especially because they have an older dog which she happily let in/out and fed dinner in addition to taking care of our dog! She was obviously a huge dog lover. She helped our photographer get the best photos with our dog! We were so comfortable trusting her with our dog. We highly recommend Doggy Social!!

The best wedding decision we made!

THE BEST! So happy we hired Doggy Social for our wedding. Our dog escort, Natalie, was so sweet and everyone thought she was actually just a friend helping out. Doggy Social was so helpful in making sure our dog was well cared for during our wedding. I loved that they had a meet and greet with us a few weeks prior to our wedding to get to know our dog so there were no surprises on our wedding day. If you want to have your dog at your wedding, I definitely recommend booking Doggy Social!

Helped include our fur babies in our best day ever without stress

My husband and I just went through Doggy Social in order to have our puppy boy in our wedding and let me tell you......it is BEYOND worth the extra money and effort! Maddie was amazing with picking up and dropping off our boy to and from the venue back and forth to his overnight stay. He was such a good boy and eased our mind of any wedding travel stresses with him. Cant wait to see special pictures of him.....this experience made our wedding even better. Highly recommend utilizing this amazing team for your special day!!!!❤❤❤

Love Doggy Social!

We LOVE Doggy Social! The ease and convenience Doggy Social offered was unlike any other. From the start we knew we wanted our pup to be apart of our Wedding Day but the logistics seemed impossible until we discovered Doggy Social. Our pup took to Rachel the pet attendant very quickly, it was so wonderful to have a meet and greet prior to the wedding so our pup would not be scared. She picked him up from our hotel and brought him to the venue and settled him back in that evening before the wedding was over. All of our guests loved seeing him at the wedding and spent cocktai hour taking photos with him :) We were so grateful to include him and will have these pictures with him forever. Thank you to Lara & Rachel and the Doggy Social team, we appreciate you more than you know!

Simply the best!

Lara and team are amazing! From the first phone call we could tell our pups would be in great hands. Lara is quick to respond to emails and is very detailed/organized. Kelsie and Maggie were our pet attendants and they came out to meet our pups a few weeks before the wedding. They both brought such a calming/can do energy. Day of, it was such a piece of mind to know our dogs were being taken care of and prepped to play their part in our wedding - from walks, treats, potty breaks, practice walking down the aisle, and transportation. We would highly recommend Doggy Social. It’s pretty special to be able to include your pets in the big day and Doggy Social made it so easy.

Amazing experience with doggy social

We had Lara and Shannon as our pet attendants for our wedding on July 30th. It was so nice to be able to have our dogs there and part of our wedding without having to worry about them! Lara even made sure I was able to say hi and goodbye to my dog before I walked down the aisle and before she left the venue which was super nice! Thanks so much for everything you two did for us! We appreciate it!

Doggy Social is a MUST for pet parents!!

We knew we wanted our dog to walk down the aisle but didn’t want to make a family member go get him and bring him back to the hotel, as then they would miss out. After some research, I stumbled across Doggy Social. Lara came by two weeks before our day to meet Benny and discuss some details of the day. She picked him up from our hotel to bring him to our wedding and brought him back after the ceremony and the photos we wanted with him. Our in-law’s dog was also staying in the hotel, so we kept them in the same room. Lara offered to potty, walk, and feed BOTH our dog and our in-law’s dog. We had a family friend walk our dog down the aisle and sit with him during the ceremony, but Lara was always on stand-by if she needed to step in to keep from him being a distraction. Lara is so nice and very easy to work with! She handled our high energy dog with ease.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
