Award-Winning Wedding Dog Chaperones in Devon, Cornwall & Somerset
A professional, efficient, and award-winning family team dedicated to taking care of all your dog's needs on your wedding day.
A Pad 4 Paws, are a Devon-based Wedding Dog Chaperoning, Doggy Daycare, and Dog Walking service, helping couples include their beloved four-legged family members in one of the most important days of their lives.
With 9 years in the wedding industry we understand how weddings work, what is required and how quickly things can change on the day so that’s why we remain flexible with a ‘can do’ attitude.
We understand that your wedding day wouldn't be complete without your dog by your side. That's why owners Sue and Pete provide a truly personal, bespoke service, ensuring every dog receives the care, attention, and love they deserve. By limiting the number of weddings we take on, we can offer every couple and every dog our full attention.
Our Services
Our bespoke Wedding Dog Chaperone Service is tailored to you and your dog's individual needs.
Our service includes:
- Collection of your dog from your home or chosen location.
- Safe transport to your wedding venue.
- Professional chaperoning throughout your wedding ceremony.
- Looking after your dog during your drinks reception and photographs.
- Ensuring your dog is relaxed, happy, and well cared for throughout the day.
- Fresh water, toilet breaks, walks, feeding (if required), and plenty of cuddles!
If your dog is staying at your wedding venue, we also offer a pet-sitting service, allowing you to enjoy your reception knowing they're in safe hands. At the end of the evening, we'll hand them back to you or a nominated family member when you're ready.
Photos & Videos Included
We know you'll be busy celebrating, so with your permission, we'll capture plenty of photos and videos of your dog throughout the day and send them to you afterwards at no extra cost.
We're not a replacement for your photographer or videographer, but it's a wonderful way to see what your precious pup has been up to while you've been making memories of your own.
Let's Meet
We offer friendly Zoom consultations on weekday evenings at 6:30 pm, giving you the opportunity to meet us, ask questions, and discuss exactly how you'd like your dog's day to look.
We also offer 1 – 1 meets so we can strike up a rapport with your dog and vice versa (if logistics allow).
We can't wait to hear all about your wedding plans and help make your day even more special for every member of your family—especially the four-legged ones!
We hold a 5 Star licence in accordance with DEFRA recently attained our QfQual Creditation and hold Public Liability Insurance and Transport Insurance.
Please note: Our 2027 diary is filling up quickly, and we'll soon be opening bookings for 2028. If you'd like your wedding date secured, we recommend getting in touch as soon as possible.

Best dog chaperone around!
I first came across Sue and the team through Instagram on our wedding venue's page, and I'm so glad I did!
From start to finish, they were absolutely fantastic. Sue was so lovely and easy to deal with throughout the whole process. We even asked fairly last minute whether they could look after an additional pup on the day, and she couldn't have been more accommodating.
Throughout the day, Sue took such great care of our pup, bringing her to see us while we were getting ready, helping with the photos, and regularly whisking her away for water, snacks and some shade when needed as it was a very hot day. It was such a comfort knowing she was being looked after so well while we let loose at our wedding.
The pick-up and drop-off were also completely seamless. Everything ran so smoothly that we didn't have to think about it at all. It was genuinely a stress-free experience from beginning to end.
I honestly can't recommend Sue and the team enough. If you're thinking about having your dog involved in your wedding, they're worth every penny. They helped make our day even more special, and we're so grateful for all the care and attention they gave our pup.

The purfect professional for your furry friend
We used Sue for our wedding. From the moment we met on zoom it was clear how safe our dog would be. Lots of questions asked about his likes and behaviour. A few weeks before Sue does a final check in.
On the day Sue was amazing, constantly checking we were happy then took our pup off for the day...balancing keeping him calm with mingling with us. She recorded his day and shared the footage with us. He was really at ease and cant fault the service we received and cannot recommend them enough.

A real life dog whisperer!
The whole process with Sue was so smooth and straightforward - the introduction calls and thoroughness put us as complete ease knowing Maple was going to be in the best care whilst we were at our wedding.
Sue was amazing with Maple on the day of the wedding - as a 3 year old fox red lab, Maple has plenty of energy but she made sure she got used to her surrounding well before the wedding which definitely helped calm Maple down. The wedding day itself was very warm, but Sue had all the necessary procedures in place to ensure Maple was kept cool and hydrated at all times.
Maple was sat at the back of the room during our ceremony which I didn’t even realise until the end - of that doesn’t go to show how amazing Sue is then I don’t know what else does.
The follow up with videos and pictures were amazing to see what Maple got up to during the day.
I couldn’t recommend Sue enough / the care she has for dogs is second to none.

The perfect choice for our pup on the big day.
Sue and Pete were the perfect choice for helping us include our beloved Cocker Spaniel, Winnie, in our big day. From our very first meeting through to every follow up, they were incredibly attentive to our needs and, most importantly, always made Winnie’s welfare their top priority.
It was obvious from every interaction, whether over Zoom or in person, that they have a genuine passion for dogs. Winnie warmed to them from the very beginning, which immediately put us at ease. Like many dog owners, we were naturally a little apprehensive about leaving her with people she didn’t know, but the multiple meetings and regular communication in the lead up to the wedding gave us complete reassurance. We also received updates the evening before and throughout the day, which was a lovely touch and really helped put our minds at ease.
Our wedding day simply wouldn’t have felt complete without Winnie there, and Sue’s experience with weddings was clear throughout. From helping with Winnie’s involvement in the ceremony to assisting with our photographs afterwards, everything was made so much easier with Sue’s support. As it was such a hot day, it was particularly reassuring to see how carefully Winnie was looked after, kept in the shade and made comfortable and cool throughout.
We ultimately decided to let Winnie head back a little earlier than originally planned because of the heat, and we really appreciated that her wellbeing was always placed above everything else.
Everything was handled perfectly, and the extra touches, including the lovely photographs of Winnie from the day, made the experience even more special. We couldn’t have been happier with the service Sue and Pete provided and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone wanting their dog to be part of their wedding day.
Thank you both.

The best decision I made for my wedding day!
Sue accompanied our miniature dachshund Norman, all day at our wedding from 11am-10pm. He is a dog who is usually stuck to me like velcro so I was worried about him becoming anxious etc when he needed to be away from me at points in the day.
However, Sue was amazing with him, he did not want to leave her side and he forgot all about me 🤣 It was so reassuring to know Norman was being looked after by someone like Sue, from the first time we met her we could tell that she prioritises the dogs welfare over everything, which is exactly what we wanted. Sue made sure Norman was there for all the special moments, helped him during photo time and helped him do his ring bearer job! She then took him back to our cottage to relax and rest which was very much needed between events. I am so glad we booked Sue to chaperone Norman, in hindsight I would pay any amount of money for her to be there!
Sue also captured so many photos and videos of Norman and me and my husband throughout the day, it was so lovely to see things from his perspective! You will not regret booking Sue as your wedding day dog chaperone! I’d give more stars if possible!

They treat your fur babies as their own!
There are not many people i trust with my dogs - but the moment i met Sue and Pete, I knew they were in the safest hands!
When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted the dogs to be a big part of the day, but didnt want to lumber one of our guests with such a responsibility (2 crazy spaniels!). That is when i found APad4Paws and saw how much they care! Then from the first moment we met them, i knew they were the perfect people to be part of our day. I could tell straight away that their first priority is the dogs safety and wellbeing, plus us having the most seamless wedding day. They communicated so well to ensure we all knew the plan for the day. Sue suggested things we would never even have thought of. They went above and beyond to make sure we were all looked after (dogs and humans!). We arranged a meeting before the day so everyone could get to know each other. I felt totally relaxed on the day because Sue had already covered everything before, even the smallest details. She is amazing at communicating and thinking of everything. On the day itself, they collected the dogs from our home and brought them to the venue to be with us whilst we got ready (which made for some lovely memories and photo's!). Armed with treats, water, poo bags, toys and cooling mats/scarves - the dogs were treated like royalty! Sue and her team are genuine dog lovers and just genuinely lovely people. They made sure the dogs had a bit of a walk to get rid of some spaniel energy, before their ring bearer duties! They made sure the dogs were waiting at the end of the confetti aisle as planned. They then made sure the dogs had some down time and were kept cool before coming to see us for the reception and evening. We communicated throughout the day to make sure everyone was happy and not too hot. Sue got some lovely photos and videos that I will treasure forever! They even made an awesome video from the dogs POV on the day which I love! We all agreed when it was time for the dogs to go home, they then drove them home and fed them their dinner before heading off. I am SO glad we booked Sue and her amazing grand daughter. The dogs had so many cuddles from them and had the best day. I would 10000% trust them with my dogs and the most important day of our lives. It took the pressure off us and any guests. Thank you so much!

Great service!
We feel so lucky that we had Sue on the day to look after our dog. She went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable, calm and not stressed.
We trusted her completely and it was clear she had lots of experience and really cared about our dog.
We had a few calls before the day to go through expectations and our dogs needs which was really helpful and helped put us at ease.
They allowed our dog to be part of our special day without us having to worry about him at all. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent service
Sue looked after Ralphie so well. Our wedding was a hot day, but Sue managed the warm temperatures, keeping Ralphie cool in shaded areas, plenty of water, with cooling mat and mister.
We felt confident that Ralphie was being well looked after. You can see from the photo below, he was enjoying his time!
It was lovely having him featured in parts of our big day. They were always flexible and responsive
Thank you so much!

Sue is the best!
From the get go Sue & Pete made Michael and I feel like Bree was going to in the best hands.
Bree was so well cared for all day and she loved Sue, we could really enjoy the day knowing that she was safe and looked after.
Sue made sure she was a part of things when we needed her to be, but also made sure she had plenty of rest and downtime.
We received so many lovely photos and videos of her on the day, the day after our wedding and it was so lovely to see it from “Bree’s perspective”.
We recommended Sue to our friend for their wedding, it was a dog friendly venue and we also brought Bree, Sue also looked after her again which was really lovely.
Would recommend them to anyone who want their pets to be cherished for the day and not have to worry about a single thing!

Couldn’t recommend enough! Amazing wedding day, such happy doggies 🐾✨
One of the most important things for us was making sure our dog Rune & my parent’s dog Stanley were cared for as part of our wedding day, without anyone being stressed or worried about them. Sue & Georgia were absolutely incredible. We had multiple meetings prior via zoom, so we could talk through any requirements and plan the day. Nothing was too big or small an ask. They were so professional and so so friendly. We had accommodation at our venue where they could stay and look after the doggies. From the moment we handed them over, we never had any worries about how happy they were. Rune is quite nervous with new people so I was unsure how she would be, but the first time I saw her in Georgia’s arms, it made me so relieved and happy. Sue and Georgia brought them around the venue to us throughout the day, walking to the ceremony and watching us get married. It was so lovely seeing them having the best time. By far the best part was having a whole photo and video diary to look through afterwards that Sue and Georgia had taken from the doggies perspective. This included a video of Stan sleeping with his head resting on Rune’s back, which we’ve never seen happen before! It showed how comfortable and relaxed they were. They had so much fun playing and lots of cuddles. Couldn’t thank either of you two enough! You made our whole day knowing Rune and Stanley were at their happiest and could celebrate with us without them being stressed in any way. You were both meant to do this and definitely have a kindness and natural way with animals that they can recognise. Thank you thank you thank you! 🐾💜✨

Amazing service
We couldn’t have asked for a better chaperone for our dog, Taco, on our wedding day. Taco can be quite a nervous boy, but Susan was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive, and she made him feel completely relaxed and comfortable throughout the day. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding. So many of our guests commented on how lovely Susan was and how wonderful she was with Taco. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting their furry family member to be part of their special day.
