Our dogs were in the best hands!

Ellis was wonderful and made it possible for us to have our two dogs as part of our wedding at Pennyhill Park without any stress or worry.

She looked after them both the evening before the wedding and on the wedding day itself, making sure they were walked, fed, entertained, and most importantly for me – well rested and had enough sleep.

She kept us updated with photos throughout the day and even learned a few words in my native language to use with the dogs😄.

As Ellis knows the hotel and staff very well, everything ran incredibly smoothly. And, of course, our dogs felt happy and comfortable with her!

Thank you so much for making the whole experience completely stress-free for both us and our dogs!

Ralph - Wedding 23rd May 26 Hedsor House

We couldn’t have been happier with the service Ellis provided for our dog, Ralph, during our wedding weekend. From meeting with us several times in advance to get to know Ralph, to looking after him so well on the big day, everything was handled with such care and professionalism.

Ellis kept us updated throughout the weekend with regular photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding knowing Ralph was happy, comfortable, and in safe hands.

She also brought Ralph to our wedding for photos and provided him with a personalised collar, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about making the experience special for both Ralph and us.

We would absolutely recommend Walkies & Weddings to anyone wanting to include their dog in their special day and wouldn’t hesitate to use Ellis again in the future. Thank you for helping make our wedding even more memorable!

Ellis is amazing!

Ellis looked after our 3 year old Corgi Halloumi for our wedding at Hedsor House on 24th May 2026.

In the run up to the wedding Ellis was incredibly communicative, meeting us in person over Christmas when we were in the area to be introduced to Halloumi and speaking to us on zoom to align on the finer details of the day (including Halloumi’s attendance). What came through in all our interactions was Ellis’ dedication to the couple she is working with and the dogs in her care. She gave great advice on how best to have Halloumi involved in the day and even created a bespoke collar and lead set as a moment for her.

On the day itself, which was in the midst of a heatwave, Ellis was focussed on Halloumi’s welfare thought out. She made sure she had plenty of water and wasn’t overwhelmed by the excitement of the day. She ensured Halloumi was there for photos and was quickly able to return (having said hi to some of her favourite people) to the comfort and calm of an air conditioned room.

It is a testament to the bond Ellis can form with a dog in her care, that in a short period of time Halloumi became completely enamoured with Ellis and was very sad when she was handed back over to us the next morning.

Throughout the day, Ellis provided WhatsApp updates on Halloumi so we were always confident she was safe, happy and in good hands.

In short, if you want your four legged family member as part of your day, we cannot recommend Ellis and her services enough! She is truly a wonderful person and an incredible carer for dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities!

24.08.25 - Rivervale Barn wedding

We used Ellis for her dog chaperone wedding service and it was amazing. She was so easy to contact in the lead up to the wedding, boarded the dogs the night of the wedding and dropped them off the next day at the wedding venue. It was so smooth and it was a real comfort to have our dogs there during our special day, while also knowing that they were in great hands and everything was being taken care of by Ellis. We are very grateful for everything Ellis did for us and would highly recommend her to other couples! She also took some amazing photos of our dogs during the wedding day, which we absolutely love!

Professional, friendly and superb service

Ellis’s service was first-class from start to finish. Our three dogs are so precious to us that only the best would do for them. On our wedding day, Ellis took all the stress out of the worry of who would look after our three dogs. Ellis arranged for them all to have sophisticated and high quality collars and leads.
Ellis is extremely professional and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Highly Recommend!

Ellis made our day even more special by taking care of our dachshund, Hunter, and coordinating his involvement in our big day. She added thoughtful details, such as personalised accessories of our choice that matched our theme! She was very attentive, and since Hunter can be quite anxious, she knew exactly how to calm him down. We could tell that Hunter thoroughly enjoyed his walks and evening cuddles. We would definitely recommend and trust Ellis to look after Hunter again. Thank you so much Ellis!

Ellis was fantastic!!!!

Before our wedding we had never left Simba with anyone. I was so so nervous about him spending time with someone new and staying over night however from the moment we met Ellis she really comforted us about this. When she met Simba he warmed to her instantly and we could tell she would take great care of him! Thanks to Ellis we were able to have Simba as part of our wedding as a ring bearer. She even got him ready in his cute tux and custom lead and collar which she provided. We had updates throughout the night that we was happy and safe! Thanks again Ellis! We could not have managed without you xx

Fantastic Service!

We hired Ellis to look after our nervous Lab for our wedding in April 2025. From the get go Ellis was fantastic with both our Lab and us! Everything was communicated clearly so on the wedding day the handover and coming to the wedding for photos went smoothly.

Would recommended Ellis to anyone needing a doggy chaperone

Fantastic service and day at our Hedsor wedding

We booked Ellis for our wedding in April 2025 at Hedsor after meeting at an open day.

Ellis was fantastic from several calls in the lead up to a meet the dogs play date before the big day and no issue with adding in a last minute puppy!

On the day of the wedding Ellis made things seamless and stress free by picking up our three dogs taking them for a walk and then bringing them to Hedsor. She made sure the boys were smartly dressed with their engraved collars and bow ties and put them in their tuxs for them to be a special part of our day and walk down the aisle.

Ellis was great with the boys, they loved her and didn’t give us a second look when leaving the ceremony.

Ellis kept us updated throughout the day that they were all ok and we got some great pictures and video footage with her help!

I would have no hesitation recommending Ellis for anyone looking for a doggy chaperone.

Above & Beyond...

We booked Ellis for our daughter's wedding at Hedsor after meeting her (Ellis) in person at an Hedsor open day. Unassuming, polite and super friendly, Ellis cared for our two dogs as though they were her own pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and stress free.

Prior to the day of the wedding, Ellis's superb organisational skills and attention to detail in the lead-up made sure that everything would go according to plan and without a "hitch" (ha ha!) when we arrived for the handover. Which it did!!!

We have no hesitation in recommending Ellis 100% for anyone who is looking for exceptional loving care for their pets. In our case, wedding at Hedsor.

NB: I noticed a less than positive review whilst we were writing-up our own experience with Ellis on here -- quite frankly, none of comments rang true in the slightest in our opinion and had the sound of possibly being disingenuous.

Saved our wedding day!

Earlier on in the day of our wedding, I had managed to get bright yellow pollen on the front of my dress which brought me to tears. I cannot express just how important it was to have our dog Lady with us in that moment - having our best friend excitedly hop into my arms brought out the right kind of tears!

Ellis was also very good with our little girl and came prepared with everything needed to make sure things went smoothly. Everyone prior kept on expressing concerns that my dress would get dirty from Lady's paws, but throughout the day, the dress got smothered in pollen and completely trampeled on - if that is a reason not to have your dog at your wedding, let me reassure you that it's definitely not something you'll have to worry about. After this, Ellis looked after Lady over the course of two days and sent us updates with pictures to reassure us that she was completely fine and enjoying herself.

Completely stress free! I cannot thank Ellis enough!

Great experience, can't recommend more! 10/10

"We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our wedding day! Not only were our pups safe and well taken care of, but they were genuinely happy, fed, and given so much love and attention. Ellis went above and beyond to make sure they were played with and comfortable, which gave us complete peace of mind.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family members!
