Last update: January 2025

A Pad 4 Paws are a Devon-based Dog Chaperoning service and a Doggy Daycare/Dog Walking service that allows your special pet to become part of your wedding day. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we understand that your four-legged friend should be there. Owners Sue and Pete offer a dedicated and individual service to each dog. By only taking in a small number of dogs, they can ensure that your dog receives the attention they deserve.

Services Offered

A Pad 4 Paws offer a BESPOKE service which includes your dog being collected and chaperoned throughout your wedding ceremony. They will ensure that your precious pooch is present for photos and will stay with them all day while you enjoy your wedding. Once your puppy is all tired out, they will take them back aPad4Paws (following a successful meet-up). This is where they will spend the night, socialising and playing with other dogs.

They also provide a pet sit after the chaperone for dog-friendly venues. This means that the dog may be staying at the venue, and therefore, they will hand the dog back to the couple/family member at the end of the wedding reception.

We take photos and videos of your dog/s during your day (as long as your happy for us too) and then send them across to you as a personalised aspect of their day! At no extra charge. We do not replace Photographers or Videographers but this allows your pup has been upto on their happiest and your happiest day from beginning to end.

We offer zoom meetings mid week at 6:30PM to say hi and answer any questions you may have.

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon!

NB: our 2025 and 2026 diaries are filling up fast so do get in touch soon to avoid disappointment.

The best addition to our wedding!

We really wanted our dogs at the wedding but were worried we wouldn’t find anyone willing to have six dogs and that it would be chaos. However, finding Sue and Pete was the best thing we did and adding them to our wedding was a blessing! We had a meet and greet prior to the wedding, this was particularly important for us as one of our dogs is a rescue and can be a little scared. Both Sue and Pete were great with the dogs, and treated them like they were their own - our dogs loved having little cheese treats and we got updates all throughout the day of how the dogs were doing which was absolutely brilliant knowing that they were safe and happy! They regularly took them on little walks throughout the day and even gave them all their dinner. If anyone wants their dogs at their wedding but are hesitant, ours can be a little chaotic but Sue and Pete handled them brilliantly and we cannot recommend them enough!

The best for our pups!

I can not recommend Sue and Pete enough. They were tasked with looking after 6 pups in our wedding day and went above and beyond for them all! They sent plenty of photos and gave our fur babies plenty of cuddles. Truly thankful for all their help on our wedding day!

Absolutely fab!

A Pad 4 Paws dog wedding chaperoning were simply perfect! Sue and Pete sat down with my (now) wife and I via Zoom to discuss our day, and what we wanted our dog involved in. Sue took it all in her stride and said yes to everything we asked for.

She picked our dog up the morning of our wedding, took him for a groom and freshen up, and then brought him back and dressed him in his flower collar for our ceremony. We did a ‘first look’ with our doggo and it was perfect. Sue kept him quiet (no mean feat) during the entire ceremony, and then accompanied us into the woods with our videographers and photographer to bring him in/out of any shots we wanted. She stayed with him in our accommodation until we wanted to take him back.

It made our entire wedding stress free but enabled us to have our pooch there. Then, after the wedding, Sue shared LOADS of photos that she took of Milo during the day so we saw our day through his eyes. This was such a nice touch.

We would fully recommend A Pad 4 Paws to anyone!

The Simakoloyi wedding 10.10.2024

We couldn’t recommend Sue and Pete enough!
We had a zoom call early on in the planning to introduce ourselves and our fur baby Cece. From the first call we knew they are what we needed. They were so kind and thorough we knew they would take good care of our little girl .
We stayed in touch and then we met up at their house for the first time closer to the wedding for Cece to familiarise herself with the place she would be staying at. We met their two not so small fur babies 🤣 Cece absolutely loved them and made herself at home. Sue and Pete run through the plan and explained how everything works where she would sleep etc.
On the day of the wedding Sue came and took
Cece of my hands immediately which made it so much easier taking photos and getting ready.
Our favourite photos with our fur baby were stress free and only possible thanks to Sue. 🥹🥰
Sue then to Cece back to their house and she sent us a lot of photos of Ceces POV of the day and what she was up to at their house.
There was no pressure to respond immediately to any messages but it was definitely a highlight of the evening seeing that Cece was happy chilling with the other doggos.

Sue and Pete, thank you for taking good care of our girl you made it all so stress free and it was the most magical day. 🥰
We will definitely be using some of your other services in the future 🩷
Love
Klaudia , Buzz and Cece

Amazing and stress-free way to share your special day with your pups!

Sue and Donna were absolutely fantastic, communication was great and the zooms ahead of the ceremony meant the whole thing was seamless. Cannot thank them enough for looking after Jasper and Millie, ensuring they were looked after and they could be there to join us for photos. Our minds were completely at ease and the dogs were very happy and looked after with plenty of walks, treats, cuddles and interaction. Cannot thank them enough.

Pawsome from aPad4Paws!

aPad4Paws did an amazing job chaperoning our dogs at our recent wedding. Their experience was clear from the outset as they discussed our options at length with us and advised how they could best help incorporate the boys into our big day. Sue & Pete are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Their pride in their work and level of care for couples’ fur babies are unmatched. We can’t put into words how special it was being able to share our big day with our boys. Would highly recommend!

Our best wedding decision!

We were reassured from our first contact with Sue & Pete that they had our dog, Barkley’s wellbeing as their main priority on our day. Knowing Barkley was being well looked after, had company all day, was being fed, kept hydrated, walked and spoilt made such a difference to my stress levels on the day! Having Sue at our wedding allowed our families to enjoy every aspect and not miss anything. Barkley had the best time greeting our guests and having his own private photo shoot with Sue. We can’t recommend this supplier enough, BOOK THEM NOW! You won’t regret it!
We knew from the day that we got engaged that Barkley had to be involved in our wedding day and Sue enabled it to be a stress free and amazing experience for all.

We highly recommend a pad for paws!

We used A pad for Paws as our wedding chaperoning service and are so glad we did. We have known Sue and Pete for a few years as they used to board our Labrador and they have always looked after her so well. They were very professional and accommodating to meet all of our needs. They ensured the day went super smoothly and considering we had our bouncy Labrador there, you would hardly have noticed her as she was so well cared for.

Amazing doggie chaperones!!

We cant thank Sue and Pete enough for looking after our pup (Essie) on our special day. Having Essie be a part of our day as the ring bearer was a non-negotiable for us when we got engaged and so when our initial doggie chaperone let us know we were thrilled to find Sue and Pete. The flexibility of their service meant that Essie could be involved in all aspects of not just our wedding day but the whole weekend, with Pete staying over for one night at our wedding accomodation to make this possible. We're so great to them both for treating her so well and for Pete for being so patient with her.

Thanks again!

A dog's best friend

Sue and Pete were absolutely fantastic to us throughout the lead up to the wedding, and on the day. Bobby immediately fell in love with Sue on the day of the wedding (maybe because of all the treats she'd brought with her!), and Sue took fantastic care of him throughout the day. The peace of mind it gave us on the day, knowing Bobby was in safe hands, was priceless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sue and Pete to anyone!

Pawsome!! Very happy

Sue and Pete were absolutely brilliant from start to finish with looking after our Cockerpoo Winston for our wedding. We had a really comprehensive first chat which made us feel confident they knew what they were doing, followed by a meet and greet with their two dogs Branston and Pumpkin! It made us feel really at ease that Winston would be happy and comfortable staying over with them, and happy with Sue on the wedding day.
On the day Sue was great - she kept Winston entertained, looking smart, and popped in to the celebrations at the right times to get Winston involved without overwhelming him. We're so happy we had him there it really made the day so special. Sue shared lots of pictures and videos of Winston throughout the day which was great fun to see what he got up to!

Amazing, had all trust in them!!

We booked Sue after being let down by another supplier and I’m so so glad we did. Sue & Pete were amazing before and on the wedding day. Before the wedding day we had a few calls to discuss what we wanted Milo to do and nothing was too much for them.
On the day Sue was amazing!
Milo is a crazy doggy and does get a bit over excited with his loved ones but Sue handled him brilliantly. We even had photos of him cuddled up with her and not many people get a Milo cuddle so we instantly knew he was happy!
Thank you for everything! We had no worries about Milo on the day and that’s all because of you!
I couldn’t recommend enough!!

Perfect supplier!

We really wanted our dog Ralphy to be part of our wedding day but wanted our family to be able to enjoy the day without having to look after him. Sue and Pete were great at explaining what they’d be able to do on the day for us to make sure Ralphy was involved where we wanted him to be. On the day Sue was great and took lots of photos for us so we could see what Ralphy was up to. He was chief greeter for guests and loved it! Sue was there as much as we needed and nothing was too much trouble.

Tom and Jane's wedding

Where do we begin, from the moment we met Sue and Pete they have been absolutely fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for them and our 3 year old Cockapoo was so well looked after. So much so, after his initial stay he didn't need another one as they made him so settled in at their house. The regular updates via texts and WhatsApp were an extra special touch.

During the wedding the little touches were extra special for us such as making sure our dog was there to greet the groom and bride when they arrived at church separately. Also, walking down the aisle with him was so nice to see as we didn't expect that at all. Sue even managed to keep our dog settled during the service which is not easy.

They have always treated our dog like one of their own with the highest of care and professionalism.

Without a doubt if anyone is needing a dog chaperone for a wedding or just boarding then look no further. We will definitely be using them again as our dog had the best time!! We cannot thank Sue and Pete enough.
