Our Story

Welcome to Doggy Social, where we specialize in providing exceptional pet attendant services for weddings!

At Doggy Social, we understand that your furry family member is an integral part of your life and that you want them to be included in your Big Day. Unfortunately, founder Lara Leinen faced the same issue when planning her own wedding in 2017 and couldn't find a suitable option to include her fur-babe. That's when she realized the need for a personalized service to help other couples make their dreams come true.

With years of experience in the wedding industry, Lara has carefully crafted our services to meet the unique needs of every couple and their furry friends. From pre-wedding consultations to day-of coordination, we take care of every detail to ensure that your pet is safe, happy, and loved on your special day.

We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional customer service and creating unforgettable experiences for pets and their humans. Whether you're looking to include your furry friend in your engagement photos, have them walk down the aisle with you, or simply want them to be part of your wedding celebration, we've got you covered.

Thank you for considering Doggy Social for your wedding pet attendant needs. We can't wait to help make your special day even more memorable!

Our Mission

Welcome to Doggy Social, where our love for animals is at the core of everything we do. Our mission is to provide premier wedding day pet care for your furry family members, you, and your guests. With over 15 years of wedding planning experience and a lifetime of animal care, we take our role in caring for your pets very seriously and with great heart and joy.

At Doggy Social, we pride ourselves on providing the best possible care and safety for your beloved pets. Our professional Pet Attendants undergo extensive training and are pet CPR certified. We believe it's an honor and privilege to take care of your furry family members, and we are committed to ensuring their care and safety above all else.

We are also proud rescue advocates and give back to local rescues. Our inspiration comes from Lara's pup, Asbjorn, who was rescued by Safe Hands Rescue and now serves as our Chief Executive Dog. Asbjorn is a big part of our team and inspires creativity by sitting through meetings, playing with the team, and, of course, sleeping.

At Doggy Social, we strive to provide above and beyond customer service to you, your fur-babes, and your guests, helping to make your Big Day easy, fun, and exactly what you dreamed of. For inspiration and information on how we can help make your wedding day unforgettable, be sure to check out our Instagram, Dog Blog and YouTube.

Thank you for considering us to be a part of your special day.

It is with great pleasure we donate a portion of our wedding proceeds to rescue organizations. We also volunteer our time to support many fur-baby non-profits!
