Testimonials
Baxter
SPRINGER SPANIEL - PLATINUM PACKAGE
Caroline was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. From the moment she suggested bringing Baxter to the actual day she kept in contact and went through any worries we had. The actual day was amazing and being able to have our special boy there made the day even better. Caroline looked after Baxter the whole time, so we didn’t need to worry about what he was getting upto, and even when the photographs where being taken with Baxter she was on the sidelines watching him and took him when needed. She made sure he was safe and calm and looked after him throughout. It was most definitely a better day for having him there. Baxter has issues with his legs which makes us quite anxious leaving him, but Caroline went through everything with us before hand, asking all the appropriate questions and her knowledge and understanding put us totally at ease. If I could have my wedding day again I would most definitely have Caroline bring my boy.
Ruby
BOXER - PLATINUM PACKAGE
When we were planning our wedding we knew one thing was for sure, we were having our beloved dog Ruby as a ring bearer. She is such a big part of our lives it felt wrong not to have her there but of course you can' have your dog at your wedding without someone to look after them- queue Caroline!!
She did such an amazing job looking after Ruby at our wedding & knowing she had everything taken care of was such a weight off our minds. Caroline couldn't be more amazing at her job, she literally thought of everything. She collected Ruby the day before the wedding, made sure she looked her absolute cutest with the harness & garlands she provided and sent her down the aisle without a hitch, even if Ruby decided to take a detour . It was such a magical moment for us & of course she stole the show.
Ronnie
SPRINGER SPANIEL - PLATINUM PACKAGE
We really wanted a way to include our bulldog in our wedding celebrations and Caroline made our dreams come true! She was fantastic coming up with different suggestions and solutions for our big day and came over to meet Ronnie in advance. She was so professional and friendly and chaperoned Ronnie throughout the event without any fuss. So glad we found Caroline and could include our bulldog (including a meet and greet with our guests) but without any stress on our part on the day. Utterly 5 star service and gave us such extra happy memories!
