About

Can't say I do without you - Dog Chaperone was born from one simple realisation: if our dogs couldn’t be part of our wedding day, it just wouldn’t feel complete. I’m Chloe – lifelong animal lover, proud sausage dog mum to Barney and Bugsy, and the founder of this tail-wagging dream.
With years of experience caring for animals big and small (yes, even horses!), a Level 3 Animal Care qualification, and full insurance, I created this business so you don’t have to choose between your dream wedding and your furry best friend.
We understand just how much your pet means to you – they’re not just part of the day, they’re part of the family. From walkies before the vows, to posing for portraits, to curling up after the confetti settles, we’re here to handle every detail. You enjoy your day. We’ll handle the tail end of things.

Can't say I do without you - Dog Chaperone - Dog Chaperone is a wedding dog-sitting service based in Basildon, Essex.

Chloe is a MUST HAVE for your dog at the wedding!

We had our wedding at the beautiful Downham Hall and knew from the start that having our dog with us was non negotiable. We wanted him involved in the photos, the morning prep, the whole day. The problem was that we also wanted to relax and actually enjoy our wedding without worrying about who had his lead, whether he had been fed, or if he was getting overwhelmed.

Booking Can’t Say I Do Without You was one of the best decisions we made. Chloe handled absolutely everything with calm professionalism and genuine love for our dog. She arrived early, took him for a walk before the ceremony, made sure he was settled, kept him cool and comfortable, and somehow managed to get him camera ready for every single photo moment.

If you are getting married and want your dog involved without any stress, we cannot recommend Chloe enough. She made our day feel whole.

Thank you Chloe!

5 stars across the board from us as Chloe was absolutely amazing. She really put our very nervous jack-chi at ease as he instantly fell in love with her. It was so nice to know our babies were in good hands that day and didn't have to worry at all - I knew she would prioritise their health & wellbeing throughout the ceremony. It was also extra special as having Chloe there meant our dogs could also be a part of our day.

I would recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a dog chaperone - you honestly will not regret it.

Thank you again!

Couldn’t recommend more ❤️

Having our fur babies with us on our wedding day was never up for debate, they had to be part of our special day.

We very rarely leave our dogs with anyone other than one or two close family members, so finding someone we trusted completely was incredibly important. After lots of searching, we came across I Can’t Say I Do Without You, and from our very first interaction, Chloe was so warm and lovely. She listened to everything we wanted, understood our concerns, and helped us create a plan that worked perfectly for us and the dogs.

Anyone who owns dachshunds knows they can be little terrors sometimes, and our Frank can be quite nervous around new people. But he took to Chloe straight away, which instantly put our minds at ease.

Chloe was absolutely amazing with them throughout the entire day. She made sure they were there for all the special moments and photos (even standing out in the rain with them!), kept them entertained and cared for during the day, and stayed with them in the evening so we could relax and enjoy our wedding knowing they were happy and safe.

She truly went above and beyond, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after our two sausages. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets on your wedding day, I can’t recommend Chloe enough. Thank you for helping make our day so perfect, it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

And if you’re wondering whether to have your doggos with you on your special day, do it! It was one of the best decisions we made, and our wedding simply wouldn’t have been the same without them.

Wow wow wow!

I don't even know where to start... We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Chloe. From the moment we first spoke, she clearly so passionate about what she does.

Jessie absolutely adored her, which gave us such peace of mind. Chloe went above and beyond to make sure Jessie was calm, happy, and perfectly looked after throughout the entire day. She handled everything so seamlessly, from keeping Jessie comfortable during the busy moments to making sure she was in the right place at the right time for photos and key parts of the day.

Chloe was genuinely so caring - not just to Jessie, but to us as well. Knowing our dog was in such safe and loving hands allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding.

If you’re even considering having your dog involved in your wedding, we cannot recommend Chloe highly enough. She was truly AMAZING, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. Jessie had the best day, and so did we because of her! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

An Absolute Must!

Having Chloe from Can’t Say I Do Without You at our wedding was a total game changer. Our dog was involved in the day exactly how we hoped, without any stress or worry for us. Chloe was calm, professional, and instantly bonded with her.

We could enjoy every moment knowing she was being looked after properly.

If you want your dog included in your wedding and actually want to enjoy the day, Chloe is an absolute must.

The best wedding dog chaperone!!!

We honestly do not know how we would have managed our wedding day without Chloe.

Having our dog involved meant everything to us, but we also wanted to be present and enjoy the day without constantly worrying about him. Chloe made that possible!!

From the moment she arrived, she was calm, organised, and completely in tune with our dog’s needs. She took him for walks, kept him settled during the ceremony, and made sure he was perfectly timed for photos. He was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored Chloe by the end of the day! Would massively recommend Chloe to any dog mum and dads :)

A must at any wedding 💒 ⭐️✨

I honestly can’t recommend Can’t Say I Do Without You enough. Chloe took care of our dog like he was her own, and it meant the world to us to have him included in our wedding day stress-free. From the first message to the final drop-off, everything felt so professional, organised and luxury. Our boy arrived looking spotless, calm and happy — and the photos with him are some of our absolute favourites !
