Dog owners hate the thought of their beautiful furry friends being left on their own all day long and this is where To Have and To Hold Your Dog can help. We offer a personalised wedding Dog Chaperone service so your family pet can be included in as much or little as you like of your day whilst being treated like part of our family. At all times the care of your dog comes first and we always aim to be as friendly, easy going, and as approachable as possible in order to provide your animals with all of the care, attention, and exercise that they need. Our services go beyond just being a chaperone for your pet at your wedding, we can include working with local groomers, advising on doggy attire, meeting and greeting guests and helping your dog be a ring bearer and of course getting the best results from your Photographer/Videographer. We will ensure your dog is photo ready, where and when you need them to be.

5 stars - highly recommended

Martyn was wonderful. Our dog loved him and our guests loved him. He was incredibly supportive and helpful in the lead up to our wedding day and then did a wonderful job on the day despite the poor weather. Highly recommend.

Too have and too hold your dog

Martyn is amazing at what he does. Our boy Winston absolutely loved him and I had no worries about him during our wedding. He provided an amazing service and I really felt he went above and beyond for us. Martyn made sure that Winston was part of our day and got him in pictures giving us lots of memories, all still making sure he was not getting overwhelmed. All our guests commented on how lovely Martyn is and how good he was with Winston. He allowed us to have our boy at our wedding and capture some precious memories. He also took lots of photos of Winston at our venue and sent lots of updates which was so reassuring. If you're looking for a dog chaperone he is 10/10.

Martyn was great

Martyn was great. I’ve never left my dog with anyone other than my parents but he made it so easy. Bella loved him and he kept me updated with pics the whole time they were away. He was a great help on the wedding day and helped us get some excellent photos.

Martyn was excellent and really made us feel so comffortable leaving our dog Laker with him. He really took his time to not only find out what Laker's needs were but ours as well, and the updates he provided while we were gone really put my mind at ease. Having Laker be able to come to our big day was honestly the best thing and Im so happy we were able to find someone to help! Cant recommend Martyn more!

We cannot thank Martyn enough!

We cannot thank Martyn enough for the incredible care he provided for our two reactive dogs during our wedding. From the very start, he went above and beyond to ensure they felt comfortable and safe. Martyn took the time to visit multiple times before the big day to build a bond with them, which made a world of difference.

During our wedding, he kept us updated with regular photos and videos, giving us complete peace of mind. His calm and professional approach put our dogs at ease, which is no small feat given their reactivity.

Martyn’s dedication and genuine care are unmatched, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog sitter. He truly exceeded our expectations, and we’re so grateful to have found him!
