Wonderful Company for your Pet

Booking the Wedding Day Dog Attendant service through Happy Bark & Tails for my 11-month-old puppy was one of the best decisions I ever made. My now-husband and I were in the midst of planning our wedding when we decided to adopt our beautiful puppy, Oreo, and we wanted to ensure that he could be a part of our wedding. Thank goodness we found Happy Bark & Tails.

From our first meeting, the owner, Madeline, was informative, and caring, gave us a clear idea of what to expect on our wedding day, and took the time to answer all our questions. Every step of the way, Madeline was patient, responsive, and put us at ease. We even scheduled a meet-and-greet a few weeks before the wedding with Madeline and her husband, Gabriel, who is also a co-owner of the business. We were certain that they would not only care for Oreo but treat him like their own baby.

On the day of our wedding, Madeline and Gabriel arrived at our hotel and immediately took care of Oreo. They put on his cute “best dog” scarf and bow tie and handled him while my husband and I got ready for our wedding. They walked him, fed him, played with him, helped him pose for pictures with us, and treated Oreo like family. They transported him to the venue, took him back to our hotel, and stayed with him until we got back. We couldn’t have asked for a better company or people to work with! They also documented our wedding day with photos from Oreo’s perspective. The gallery of photos was beautiful and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I highly recommend Happy Bark & Tails for all your wedding pet care needs. They were great to work with and we have already recommended them to another couple!

Best service ever!

The best company ever!!! We hired happy bark and tails for our wedding and they did not disappoint. When we came across their page we knew this was the right fit for us as we wanted to include our dog in our wedding! We had our initial call with Madeline and she made us feel so comfortable and excited about everything as we were very nervous leaving our dog with someone else. We had a meet and greet with both Madeline and Gabriel and they were the kindest people ever and made sure to cover all the questions and interact with our dog. The day of the wedding we had Gabriel and he was hands down the BEST!!! He took care of our dog as we finished up getting ready, brought him to the church for photos (which we were obsessed with), brought him to the venue for several videos and photos, and stayed for all photos/ cocktail hour and then finally brought our pup back to the hotel where he stayed with him for a bit longer and still was capturing photos of our dog! Gabriel and our dog were the stars of the show. The service that Gabriel provided was absolutely impeccable and he went above and beyond to take care of our pup and make our day perfect!!! Not only are they a wedding pet service, this company provides all media content with photos and videos that are like no other. After the wedding my husband and I kept trying to think of other events we can hire Gabriel for, because he was amazing!!! He kept us informed throughout the night when needed but did not bother us one bit!! We recommend this company and especially Gabriel 10000000 percent. Best service ever and we hope to be able to see them again/hire them again!!!

So thankful for Happy Bark & Tails!!

Madeline was amazing with our Cannoli on our wedding day and night before! We wanted to find a way for our dog to be a part of our special day and we were able to achieve that with the help of Madeline & Happy Bark & Tails. We originally booked Madeline for just the wedding, then leading up to the big day we realized we needed someone to watch him the night before. Which she was able to do! We were so happy. She also attended our rehearsal to help us prepare for him to run down the aisle the next day. She did a wonderful job taking care of him the day of prior, during and after the ceremony. He was able to run down the aisle and quickly get back to her.

Cannoli hates being alone and gets anxiety. She was so friendly and Cannoli really liked being with her, which isn’t always the case with people he does not know. It made us feel so relaxed knowing he was happy and in great care on such an important day.

After the ceremony, she helped us and our photographers get great shots of us and Cannoli. She even captured great pictures/videos herself behind the scenes, which was awesome and great to look back on. We love photos so being able to have these was amazing.

We would highly recommend having Madeline and Happy Bark & Tails alongside you and your pet during your special event. The amount of care and the peace of mind provided were well worth it!!
