Paw My Love

About

Mary Clare Dreifke founded Paw My Love around the conviction that pets belong at their families' most important moments. She grew the team to include Clare in Chicago, Erin in Charleston (with over seven years of pet sitting experience), and Alyssa in New York — each sharing a lifelong love for animals and the same standard of care. Together they bring wedding-day expertise to four major cities and will travel nationally for couples who need them.

How It Works

Submit a service request and the Paw My Love team reaches back via email and schedules a meet-and-greet before your wedding day. On the day, they pick up your dog from wherever they're staying, bring them to the ceremony and photo sessions, and handle every daily care need — exercise, food, water, medication — throughout their hours of service. They also manage any schedule changes that come up, because wedding days rarely go exactly to plan.

Services & Capabilities

What Sets Them Apart

• Wedding-only service — every booking is specifically for a couple's wedding day, not squeezed into a general pet-sitting calendar
• Insured through Pet Care Insurance, so your dog's safety on your wedding day is backed by a professional policy
• Brings bow ties, flower collars, and decorative leashes to the venue — your dog looks intentional in the photos, not like an afterthought
• 10% of every booking goes to an animal charity of your choice, so your wedding helps a dog in need

Packages start at $400 for four hours and scale to $1,000 for an overnight stay. Custom packages available for timelines that don't fit the standard tiers.
