Atta Boy! Animal Care
Custom wedding pet care with 14 years of experience behind every leash.
Lakeland, FL, Florida
About
The Atta Boy! Animal Care team is led by the only Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) in Lakeland — a 13-year veterinary technician with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science. Every team member is background-screened, bonded, and carries more than 13 hours of professional certifications. With GPS-tracked visits and instant photo updates as standard practice, this is a team that takes pet care seriously even on the most festive days.
How It Works
Your attendant arrives with all equipment double-checked, ready to practice the aisle walk and manage potty breaks before the ceremony begins. During portraits, they use toys and vocal cues to keep your pet focused on the camera, then step back so you can enjoy the moment. Every detail, from timing to planner coordination, is handled in advance so you can stay present on your wedding day.
