Wedding Dogs
San Diego wedding pet attendants for your whole celebration, start to finish
San Diego, CA, California
Get in Touch ↓About
Nancy Holmes grew up on a rural San Diego property surrounded by animals and has spent years volunteering at a cat rescue and with a senior dog hiking program. Wedding Dogs grew out of her desire to do meaningful work with animals — specifically to help couples include their dogs in happy, celebratory moments without burdening the bridal party.
How It Works
Nancy meets you and your dog before the wedding at no charge to make sure everyone is comfortable together. On the day, she picks up your dog from home, handles all the logistics at the venue — walks, water, waste, outfits, photo moments — and returns them safely afterward. You tell her which events you want your dog at, and she takes care of the rest.
Services & Capabilities
What Sets Them Apart
- Pet pickup and drop-off from your home is included — your dog doesn't need a ride from a family member who's trying to enjoy the wedding.
- Covers every milestone, not just the ceremony — from the moment you pop the question to the final reception dance, your dog can be part of the whole story.
- Complimentary meet-and-greet before any booking ensures your dog and Nancy are comfortable together before the big day.
- Your dog stays leashed and supervised at all times, with walks, water, and waste management handled discreetly throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Wedding Dogs attendant handle on the day?
Everything your dog needs while you're celebrating — leashed walks between duties, potty breaks, water, dressing them in any outfits you provide, safe transport from your home to the venue and back, and coordination for any ceremony or photo moments.
Can Wedding Dogs attend events other than the ceremony itself?
Yes. They cover the full range — proposals, pre-wedding photo shoots, rehearsals, ceremonies, receptions, and vow renewals. Each is priced separately so you can choose exactly which moments to include your dog in.
How do I get started with Wedding Dogs?
