Get in Touch ↓About
Krystal is a Registered Veterinary Technologist who spends her days working with animals in a clinical setting and her evenings adoring her two golden retrievers, Bee and Grace, and a 10-year-old lionhead bunny named Thor. When planning her own 2026 wedding she realized there was no one to care for her pets without pulling a family member from the celebration — so she created that service herself. She brings warmth, professional training, and genuine experience with dozens of species to every wedding she attends.
How It Works
On your wedding day, Krystal arrives to get your pet ready for their moment — helping with wedding accessories and coordinating the grand entrance. She escorts them down the aisle and works with your photographer to capture the perfect family portraits. Throughout the reception she manages bathroom breaks, water, and rest so your pet stays happy and you never have to step away.
