The 1st professional wedding dog-sitting service in Italy, founded in 2010 by Elisa Guidarelli
- ABOUT US
WEDDING DOG SITTER
Wedding Dog Sitter® is the first professional dog-sitting service for weddings in Italy since 2010, specifically specialized in managing your dog’s well-being on a day that could be stressful and overwhelming.
With our method, you have the GUARANTEE that your dog will be relaxed and happily wagging their tail beside you throughout all stages of the wedding day, cared for in a loving way but with the professionalism of the only company in Italy that has handled over 900 real weddings and managed more than 1,500 dogs with different personalities, stories, and needs.
Unlike regular trainers or dog sitters, we are specialized in weddings, because such an exciting day, full of special moments, can cause anxiety and stress in the dog if not managed properly. A wedding hides pitfalls and dangers for the dog if you are not experienced and do not fully understand all the stages and situations of that day.
The newlyweds who come to us consider their dog a true member of the family in every sense. For them, the idea of leaving their dog at home on such a once-in-a-lifetime and incredibly important day is unthinkable and heartbreaking, while all those who love you (never as much as he) are by your side. What couples like you are looking for is a real, experience-based solution to ensure that their dog does not experience a stressful nightmare but instead enjoys a happy and peaceful day by their side.

When you want to have your furry friend with you on your wedding day, you have to have a professional next to you who will become your 4-legged friend's best friend for that day, so that you will be left relaxed and without any further worries. And so it was for Punto and me on July 31 a few years ago: Elisa and her staff were impeccable, as well as wonderful, and I am not exaggerating when I say that there was instant love at first sight! Punto even managed to take a nap in Elisa's arms while waiting for the ceremony to end! A choice I would make again a thousand and one times, because Wedding Dog Sitter is not just a service, it is a cuddle for you and the furry one, it is a guarantee in everything and Elisa is unique in her work❤️! Thank you for sharing like me and with Punto that day !
It has been a few years since I got married. We had our puppy for a few months and thanks to Elisa and her staff , we were able to enjoy a day together with him without any thought for our furry . We were sure that he would be fine and that he would also participate in the festivities followed and guided lovingly in everything by Elisa An unforgettable day that we were able to share with the newcomer and of which we have an album full of beautiful photos from the “ Thor's point of view” taken by the Wedding dog sister staff! A day of celebration with our furry one all beautifully prepared and happy. Elisa had a lot of attention and care in the details and was very empathetic with the puppy and everyone . I was very very happy to have had the opportunity to experience this completely and carefree. Thank you again Elisa ❤️
Emanuele and his staff allowed us to experience our big day together with Wendy and Nala, our furry little girls. Thanks to them we were able to live this fantastic day with serenity and with the knowledge that we were entrusting our puppies to professionals, who understood our but most of all their needs. Attentive to every detail even under the 4pm heat they carried them so they wouldn't walk, practically cuddled the whole time. At the end of the night when they brought them back to us they wanted to stay with them 🤣. We could not have entrusted our little girls to anyone else. Thank you 🐶

Frequently asked questions
The decision to allow dogs inside the church is entirely at the discretion of the parish priest. However, attitudes are evolving, and more and more churches are now allowing dogs to bring the wedding rings to the bride and groom. If you need advice on how to get your priest’s approval, feel free to contact us!
Our Wedding Dog Sitter service begins 2 to 3 hours before the ceremony and continues until 30 minutes after the cake cutting. This ensures that the newlyweds can enjoy their special day with peace of mind, knowing that their dog is in the hands of a trusted professional who prioritizes their well-being every step of the way.
No, the price remains the same, as this service is already included in our packages and does not affect the overall cost. Having a dedicated support person is essential to ensuring the best experience.
Also, keep in mind that the photos are taken by a professional photographer specializing in animal photography. Unlike traditional wedding photographers—who capture the emotions of the day from your perspective—our photographer focuses on your dog’s experience, preserving special moments you might not witness yourself. All the photos on our website reflect this unique approach.
For us, these images serve as a stamp of guarantee:
We are so confident in our method and results that we like to prove it through something concrete and real. The photos from your dog’s perspective allow us to document each phase of the day and certify that your dog was happy and relaxed throughout the wedding.
Absolutely! However, we will also assess this ourselves during our initial analysis and through the forms you’ll be asked to complete. Every dog has unique needs, sensitivities, or triggers, and our priority is to ensure they feel completely at ease—just as if they were with you!
No, we do not bring food. Introducing a new diet suddenly could upset your dog’s stomach, and their well-being is our top priority. To avoid any discomfort, we recommend providing their usual food.
Demand for our service has grown significantly in recent years. We recommend booking at least 9 to 12 months in advance to secure your date. However, if you’ve just discovered us and your wedding is soon, don’t worry! We are a well-structured team and can often accommodate last-minute requests.
Absolutely not! This is something we always clarify during our first meeting with the couple. We never hand over the dog to third parties for a few key reasons:
- It could cause unnecessary stress.
- Once one person holds the dog, everyone—including children—will want to.
- Ultimately, the responsibility is ours, and we ensure their safety at all times.
You can choose the most convenient option for you! We also offer the possibility of handling your dog’s return home, ensuring they have everything they need and that you don’t have to worry about arranging transportation. This is especially useful if you are spending the night at a different location after the wedding.
Some venues allow dogs inside the dining area. If yours does, make sure that:
- Your dog’s designated space is far from loudspeakers or amplifiers.
- They are not too close to the children’s table.
There is easy outdoor access so we can take them out for breaks when needed.
Wedding Dog Sitter® is exclusively for the newlyweds’ dog. We do not care for guests’ dogs because our focus is on ensuring the happiness, well-being, and serenity of your dog.
Having them around unfamiliar dogs could cause stress and confusion during the ceremony. Our goal is to keep your dog calm, happy, and engaged, ensuring they remain the true guest of honor on your special day!
