Get in Touch ↓About
Mar Paws Pet Retreat is a pet care business offering boarding, daycare, drop-ins, house sitting, walks, and wedding chaperone services. They welcome any breed and any size, provided your dog is up to date on vaccinations and friendly with people — and they always start with an in-person meet and greet before the big day.
How It Works
Your dog's day starts with a pre-wedding walk from home to help them settle, then Mar Paws transports them to the venue where they have time to explore and get comfortable before the ceremony. Throughout the day — from guest greetings and ring bearing to wedding photos — your pup is in calm, attentive hands, with photo updates sent directly to you. If you choose Tier 2, they'll enjoy overnight care and a morning walk before being returned to you the next day.
