Unleash the Love
Wine Country dog wedding attendants who have been there themselves
Sonoma, CA, California
About
Sarah and Matt are a Sonoma-based couple who started Unleash the Love after experiencing firsthand the gap in dedicated wedding pet care on their own wedding day. With years of pet-sitting experience and deep roots in the Wine Country area, they bring both professional know-how and genuine personal warmth to every event. Their dog Connie inspired the whole venture — and that story resonates with every couple they work with.
How It Works
You and Sarah work together ahead of time to design your dog's role — from how they'll enter the ceremony to which photo moments they'll be part of. On the day itself, Sarah or Matt arrives to handle transport, walks, and all the coordination so your dog is where they need to be, when they need to be there. If you'd like a practice run, they can attend the rehearsal too, and at the end of the night your pup can head straight to their Sonoma home for an overnight stay.
Serving Napa, Sonoma and Marin Counties. Based in Sonoma.
Services & Capabilities
What Sets Them Apart
- Sarah and Matt had their own dog at their wedding without a dedicated attendant, so they know exactly what couples miss and what they need — that lived experience shapes every detail of how they work.
- They've worked at beloved Wine Country venues including Carneros Resort, Stanly Ranch, V. Sattui Winery, and Paradise Ridge, so they already know the spaces where your wedding might take place.
- Packages are fully customized around your dog's role — whether that's a full aisle walk, first dance attendance, or just photos, you only pay for what you actually want.
- The Pup Crash Pad lets your dog spend the night at Sarah and Matt's home in Sonoma, so you can stay at the venue and celebrate without worrying about pickup.
- They can also assist with rehearsal attendance if your dog needs a practice run down the aisle before the big day.
