I would recommend

Hannah looked after our spaniel, Holly, while we were at our niece’s wedding in Exeter. She was friendly and professional and Holly had a super day with her.

Thank you so much Hannah!

We really wanted our dog Poppy to be our ring bearer, but as she can be a little nervous and barky, we were a little worried about how she would cope. Hannah took the time to meet us twice beforehand so Poppy could become familiar with her, which made such a difference.
On the wedding day, Hannah was amazing and looked after Poppy so well. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages, photos and even a video summarising her day, which we loved. We were so impressed with how well Poppy behaved and she even ended up staying longer to mingle with guests, which Hannah was so flexible with.
Hannah then took Poppy back to my parents’ house and spent the evening with their dog too.
We’re so pleased we booked her and can’t thank her enough for helping Poppy be such a special part of our wedding day! ❤️

Superb service

Hannah was professional throughout.
She has a calm manner and we felt she would be able to cope should any issues come up.
She was reliable, punctual and well prepared.
On a very hot day, she turned up with a dog cooling collar and mat for our dog to use.
There were some unexpected nice touches ( mini video of what they got up to, amongst others).
Recommended without hesitation.

Worth Every Single Penny!

We booked Hannah for our wedding at Lusty Glaze Beach in July. We opted for the 12 hour package and we are so pleased we did, Hannah was invaluable to our wedding day.

Our 18 month old puppy, Dexter, is full of energy and can be a handful. Hannah made him calm and presentable for his big day as the ring bearer.

Dexter was an important part of our day and Hannah made sure he was involved at the key parts which were discussed beforehand. Hannah’s planning and communication prior to the wedding was quick and attentive.

The actual day was very hot and Hannah payed close attention to ensuring Dexter was comfortable and cool. She put Dexter’s welfare first which was essential to us.

Hannah is professional, organised and friendly. We never had to worry about Dexter as we knew he was in great hands.

In addition to the amazing day Dexter had, this was topped off with the most thoughtful gift and a video of Dexter’s day which we loved watching the following day.

We would recommend Hannah to anyone in the hunt for a dog chaperone!

Fantastic care for Archie and Lyra on our wedding day

Hannah was wonderful to work with from start to finish - with a puppy ring-bearer and a reactive dog to look after for the day we were keen to ensure we had a safe pair of hands and couldn't be happier with our choice of chaperone.

Hannah offered a free meet and greet allowing us to introduce the dogs, and video calls to plan everything in advance of the day. Her service is very flexible and she blended seamlessly into the day, ensuring both dogs were well looked-after, and the star guests at the wedding reception! She was great with both dogs, supporting Archie at the ceremony and making sure both dogs had walks and chill-out time when needed between socialising with guests.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for anyone looking to support a small business in the south-west.

Invaluable to our wedding! 💛

From first contacting Hannah, it was clear she was incredibly professional, organised & cared a lot about her work. Our dog Rocky is quite nervous of new people, has never even had a dog sitter, but clearly quickly bonded with Hannah due to her patience and knowledge of his breed. Hannah ensured he was cared for perfectly while in his own environment, and even managed to walk him on a lead to see us briefly in the reception. His lead walking is something we’re still yet to master so she must be incredibly good! Knowing Hannah was onsite to care for Rocky for 12 hours put us totally at ease. She even sent us pictures and videos during the day, and a lovely video summary of what he got up to. Not to mention the gorgeous keepsake! Hannah truly made our wedding better as we didn’t have to worry about Rocky at all. I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anybody. Thank you Hannah!

Stress-Free Star Treatment for Your Pooch!

We cannot recommend Hannah highly enough!

Having Luna included in our wedding day was incredibly important to us, but we wanted to make sure she was happy, comfortable and well cared for throughout the day. From our first conversation, Hannah was friendly, professional and clearly passionate about what she does, which immediately put us at ease.

Before the wedding, we met Hannah for a walk with Luna so they could get to know each other and we could chat through our plans for the day. This made such a difference and really helped ease our minds, knowing that Luna was already comfortable with her and that every detail had been carefully thought through.

On the wedding day, Hannah took exceptional care of Luna and handled everything seamlessly. Knowing Luna was in such safe hands allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our day without having to worry about logistics or her welfare. She kept us updated throughout the day, made sure Luna was where she needed to be at the right times, and captured some wonderful photos for us to look back on.

Not only did we think Hannah was fantastic, but several of our guests commented on how lovely she was and how great she was with Luna throughout the day. It was clear to everyone how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with.

As an extra touch, Hannah also gave us a lovely personalised keepsake after the wedding, which was such a thoughtful surprise and means so much to us.

If you're considering having your dog involved in your wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend Hannah. The service was outstanding from start to finish, and we're so grateful for everything she did to help make our day so special.

Theos's fabulous day

We were worried about leaving our dog so we could attend our daughter's wedding as we'd never left him before and he is a bit attached to us. We needn't have worried as he had a lovely time with Alison and the regular updates and photos she sent reassured us he was very happy and relaxed. Hannah and Alison were so helpful and professional setting up the petsit, arranging a video call beforehand as we live too far away for a meet up. I would highly recommend this service.

Wow Wow Wow!

Hannah was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We reached out at incredibly short notice, and she stepped in without hesitation — something we were unbelievably grateful for. Her calm, warm, and professional approach instantly put us at ease, and more importantly, our dog Brownie adored her.
She took wonderful care of Brownie throughout the day, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and fully looked after. What truly made the experience exceptional was how beautifully she prepared him for his big moment as our ring bearer. Brownie looked perfect, was in the right place at the right time, and ran down the aisle like a star — all thanks to Hannah’s patience, guidance, and attention to detail.
Her service went above and beyond anything we expected. We couldn’t recommend Hannah highly enough to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and genuinely brilliant dog chaperone.

Best Chaperone Ever 😊

We recently had Hannah look after our boys and chaperone them to our wedding. We are so pleased with how well she looked after them for us and glad they could be apart of our special day. The boys were so happy to be with her. She looked after our house lovely even doing some tidying and cleaning which was a bonus for us! Could not recommend Hannah enough, she is so lovely and also professional! Would not hesitate to use in the future for pet sitting/ walks ☺️ Thank you Hannah!💗

Thank you Hannah!

Hannah looked after our dog Olive and cat Rodney over our wedding weekend and I am so grateful for everything Hannah did to help the wedding go so smoothly. Not only did Hannah look after our pets, Hannah drove Olive to our wedding venue and chaperoned her throughout the day. Olive arrived calm, groomed and happy and Hannah did a great job at keeping her entertained and relaxed throughout the day. Hannah had the added task of staying in our home over the weekend which is a very run-down restoration project, with broken taps, no central heating and other quirks! Hannah managed all of this with no trouble and allowed Dan & I to focus on the wedding while she took care of everything at the house. Thank you so much Hannah — can’t recommend you enough! Xxx

Hannah Ottery
Hannah Ottery
Owner

Hi, I’m Hannah — the owner of Hannah’s Pet Care Services and the person behind my Wedding Dog Chaperone Service, designed to help couples include their beloved pets in their big day without any of the stress. I know how important it is for your dog to be part of such a special occasion, and my role is to make sure everything runs smoothly so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

I’ve always had a passion for working with animals and have spent many years gaining hands-on experience in a variety of settings. I’ve worked on farms, caring for dogs, livestock, and other animals in a busy outdoor environment, as well as work experience at a veterinary practice, where I developed a strong understanding of animal health, safety, and welfare. I also worked in a dog grooming salon, where I learned the finer details of canine handling and care, and I’ve been pet sitting professionally for many years, building long-lasting relationships with families and their pets. These experiences have given me the knowledge and confidence to create calm, positive experiences for every dog I work with — including on busy and exciting wedding days.

I’m fully insured, DBS checked, canine first aid trained, and have 100% 5-star reviews on Google and Facebook. My van is equipped for safe and comfortable travel, and I regularly care for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and ages — from energetic pups to nervous rescues and senior companions.

To help meet growing demand and ensure that I can offer more availability for wedding chaperoning, my mum, Alison, has now joined the business. She assists with dog walking, drop-ins, and day care, which means I can dedicate more time to my wedding clients — ensuring every couple receives a personalised and flexible service. Together, we’re proud to run a family-based business built on reliability, compassion, and trust, with a wonderful collection of 5-star reviews from happy clients on Google and Facebook.

When I’m not helping wedding couples make their dogs part of their big day, you’ll find me exploring the countryside with my walking groups or spending time at home with my rescue cat, Brownie.

If you’re dreaming of having your dog by your side on your wedding day, I’d love to help make that happen — creating a calm, organised, and joyful experience for both you and your furry best friend.

Pet Carer

Due to high demand and a shared passion for animals, I joined the team in 2025. I currently offer drop-ins, dog walks, daytime pet sits and wedding dog chaperoning.

I am fully insured under the business, DBS checked, and trained in canine first aid.

I’m a huge animal lover and already familiar with how the business works, which made joining the team feel like a natural fit. I’m also the business owner, Hannah’s, mum, which makes it especially lovely to be able to work alongside family. Together, we’re able to offer more availability during busy periods while continuing to provide the same high level of care and attention to every pet.
