Would You Love Your Dog At Your Wedding?

It’s Your Big Day!

And you wouldn’t DREAM of doing it without your most beloved family members.

And that INCLUDES your pets!

But you’ll be way too busy enjoying your day with your guests to take care of them!

And you want your friends and family to be free to enjoy the festivities too.

So why not let US take care of them?

Your pets are SO important to you, it seems odd to leave them out of one of the biggest celebrations of your life!

But you don’t want to be worrying if they’re getting stressed or needing a toilet break or wrecking the church or hotel!

You want them happy and relaxed to enjoy your special day with them and have some photo opportunities that’ll really add to the memories of your day for a lifetime.

And then you want them taken home safely when they’ve had enough socialising without you or any of your guests having to leave the party.

So allow us!

And relax (as much as you can amid the nerves and excitement!) in the knowledge that we’re there completely dedicated to looking after your pet on the day.

And that we can handle pets with different temperaments and needs in a variety of settings – it’s what we do for a living, and have been doing for 10 years!

And you never need to worry about us letting you down!

We could not believe our luck when we got Ger as our petsitter, initially for our wedding, Ger looked after our golden retriever Izzy in our home with exceptional kindness and care, she is a a natural with animals and you can tell she really loves her job. She is professional, trustworthy and a safe pair of hands to care for any pet, down to the small important details like food treats and how your pet likes things. Izzy absolutely runs to the door for cuddles when she hears her coming to take her for a walk and we love getting the updates and photos – we couldn't recommend Ger enough :)

I used Pet Sitters Ireland for my wedding weekend. Our dog, Herman was our ringbearer. Pet Sitters Ireland were wonderful. They assigned Natasha as a sitter/chaperone for Herman. She was wonderful. Everything went so smoothly on the day and Herman had a great time overnighting with Natasha after his moment in the spotlight and some photos afterwards. It was great to receive photo updates of Herman through the Pet Sitters Ireland platform.

Amazing service! Our little dachshund Daphne is nervous of strangers so we were extremely anxious to leave her while we got married. Michael the owner is so lovely and friendly, he really put us at ease and arranged everything for us. Daphne stayed with Paul & Jane who looked after her like she was their own dog. She settled in so well with Paul & Jane, it shows how gentle and caring they are towards animals. We got regular updates and they even travelled to our wedding ceremony so Daphne could be part of the day. It was so wonderful to have her there. We cannot thank you all enough for everything you have done for us and Daphne. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Daphne in your care again. We will be highly recommending you to everyone we know.

We used Pet Sitters for our wedding and can’t recommend them highly enough. Mike was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Communication was great at all times in the lead up to the wedding day and on the day itself. We were very reassured our dog would be in good hands and this certainly transpired. Mike was fantastic on the wedding day itself. He met our dog early in the morning before transporting him to the venue, where he was looked after him before returning him to our regular dog minder. It was so great having our dog as part of our wedding ceremony and we are so thankful to Mike and Pet Sitters for facilitating this.

Mike and Pet Sitters were amazing. We were very nervous leaving our lovley 3 dogs at home from our wedding from the very start, Mike put us at ease. He explained the excellent services that Petsittere Ireland provide. Mike came to our house the morning of our wedding and there was an instant Bond with him and the dogs. He transported them to the wedding venue and they were our ring bearers. He looked after them all day and stayed for professional photographs. He brought them home, took photos of the dogs eating and resting for the night which again reassure us. From start to finish, the team were amazing thanks so much Mike. Your love for animals really shone though and we will deffinitly be using your services again King regards Martin and Aidan

Pet Sitters Ireland can help you by:

  • Taking your dog to the groomer to get ready for the big day.
  • Dressing your dog, if you decide to dress them up for their role in the wedding.
  • Bringing your dog to the wedding location at the pre-determinded time.
  • Walking your dog prior to the wedding ceremony so we know they are relaxed. 
  • Taking them for bathroom and snack breaks during the day.
  • Looking after your dog during the ceremony and meal.
  • Driving them home at the end of the day.

Combine our Wedding Day Service with our Overnight Pet Sitting, so you can relax and enjoy your first night as a married couple, confident that your pets are well-cared for and enjoying the companionship of one of our professional pet sitters.

Our Wedding Day Service is all about making your day stress-free and hassle-free.
