Some frequently asked questions:

1. Can you look after more than one dog.

Yes Im happy to care for more than one dog, but depending on size and temperament, I may bring an extra dog handler to ensure safety and follow legal requirements, especially for strong or restricted breeds.

A meet and greet is essential to meet you and your dog. This way I can get to know what your require and get to know your dog prior to the big day. It helps your dog feel comfortable and I offer a walk so your dog can become familiar with me.

Fur babies are in good hands

Lana reguarly walks our cockapoo who is always excited to see Lana turn up and off she walks with her tail wagging. We get photos and an update which is lovely. Our cockapoo can be nervous but Lana is attentive to her needs and so our cockapoo took a shine to her straight away.
We have also booked Lana for our upcoming wedding to chaperone our cockapoo to the wedding so that we get to have her as part of our special day. I would highly recommend Lana, your fur babies are in good hands 🐾

Dog walking

We definitely recommend Lana! She has been our dog walker for the past three years. She’s friendly, reliable and always flexible around changing shift patterns. Our dog loves going out with her.

Absolutely great

I can’t recommend Lana highly enough. I haven’t had Lana for a wedding, but she walks my dog weekly. She is so flexible as I tend to message her very last minute and she always does her best to accommodate me and my dog . Lana did a meet and greet when I first contacted her and had all the relevant paperwork to complete. I can assure you, your dogs will be in safe hands with Lana. After each walk, she always sends photos of my dog and where they have been . I cannot thank her enough

Thank you Lana!

We honestly couldn’t recommend Lana enough! She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. In the lead-up to our wedding she was so thorough, making sure she knew every detail of our plans — nothing was ever too much trouble.

On the day, she collected our two dogs from the kennels, gave them plenty of fuss and walks, and got them all dressed up ready for the wedding. She worked brilliantly with our photographer to capture some amazing photos.

It’s clear how much Lana truly loves her job and caring for pups — we didn’t have to worry for a second, and our dogs adored her!

Thank you Lana for an amazing day 🐾🐾

My wife and I chose Lana to look after our dog, Walter, during our wedding day, and what can I say? Just WOW! Lana was simply fantastic - as can be expected, on the morning of the wedding we were incredibly busy and we didn’t even have the chance to meet her properly - but Lana was so on top of everything this didn't matter! Lana handled Walter perfectly, she took him for a walk before the wedding to burn off any excitable energy and then dressed him in her homemade tuxedo!! She looked after him perfectly in the church, giving him water and treats to keep him relaxed and calm. She then kindly accompanied him down the aisle for his big moment as our ring bearer! Following the ceremony, Lana brought him down to our reception for photos and the chance to socialise with his nearest and dearest! At this point, she then took him back to her house and looked after him overnight, sending regular photos and updates whilst we enjoyed the rest of our evening!
We would not hesitate to recommend Lana and Lead Me To The Alter to look after your dog on your special day! She made it possible for our beloved Walter to be a part of our day and we are so thankful for everything that she did to help us. I wouldn’t have wanted Walter to have been left with anyone else!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
