Boise's dedicated wedding pet attendant — from aisle to adventure

About
Karissa Ziemann started It's A Ruff Life in Boise in 2017 and has been caring for pets at weddings across the Treasure Valley ever since. Her transparent pricing and willingness to travel — from local venues to full destination weddings — reflects a genuine commitment to making sure every couple can have their dog there too.
How It Works
Karissa arrives with enough time before the ceremony to get your dog settled and comfortable at the venue. She handles transport, stays through the ceremony and portraits, and manages all the little logistics — potty breaks, hydration, keeping your pup calm between photo moments — so you never have to step away from your guests.
