Paws 2 Peaks
Seattle's wedding dog handler — pickup, portraits, and total peace of mind
Seattle, WA, Washington
Get in Touch ↓About
Katy runs Paws 2 Peaks in Seattle, primarily as a dog hiking service, but she brings the same hands-on attentiveness to weddings and special events. Couples describe her as someone who goes well beyond what you ask — buying a Pride bandana for a queer wedding, texting without prompting, and doing everything needed to make sure your dog is happy, photogenic, and calm on your biggest day.
How It Works
Katy picks your dog up before the event, takes them for a walk to burn off any pre-ceremony excitement, and arrives at the venue calm and ready. She stays by your dog's side through the portrait session and ceremony, working alongside your photographer, and sends you updates throughout so you never have to break away from your celebration to check in.
Pickup zone currently between Northgate and Beacon Hill in Seattle
Services & Capabilities
What Sets Them Apart
- Katy takes initiative without being asked — arriving early to walk your dog before the ceremony, buying a bandana for the occasion, texting you proactively with updates so you can just enjoy your day.
- One hundred percent of her attention is on your dog throughout the event, so you never have to wonder if your pup is okay.
- Pickup and drop-off included, so your dog arrives at the venue fresh and goes home safely when the moment is over.
- Proven experience with large, energetic dogs — the kind that can make ceremony portraits genuinely stressful without the right handler.
- Coordinates directly with your photographer to help get the shot, from calling your dog's name to positioning them perfectly.
