Alice & Josh's Wedding
Steph was beyond amazing with our dog Champ and helping him be apart of our wedding day, something that was so important to us. From our first call I knew Champ would be in the best hands with Steph. Before the wedding we had an in person meet and greet so Steph and Champ could get to know each other (he was obsessed with her) and we could go over our wedding day plans. The week of our wedding was extremely hot, Steph kept a close eye on the weather and kept in communication with us adjusting plans to make sure Champ would be safe. On the wedding day Steph came equipped with an abundance of things to help keep Champ cool. She had licky matts, fans, ice cream, water bowls, cooling towels, umberellas for shade the whole works! It meant so much to us to know Champs welfare was her main priority, she regularly took him back to the car for air con and water breaks. During photos Steph was amazing at getting Champs attention and having him pose so we got the most gorgeous photos. All of our guests commented on how amazing Steph was with Champ and all the things she did to keep him happy and cool! At the end of the day Steph sent us photos and videos and even put together a reel of Champ's POV of our wedding day, something we will treasure forever. We are so grateful for Steph and so glad we found someone who loved Champ like he was her own.
Yvez & Tim's Wedding
I cannot recommend Saintly Paws highly enough. Like many people, my dog Dexter is truly my child, so having him be part of our wedding in April 2026 was incredibly important to me. Before this, I didn’t even know wedding dog chaperones were a thing but discovering Saintly Paws was one of the best decisions we made.
The process was simple and stress‑free from the start. I filled out the online form, and Steph quickly arranged a video call to talk through my initial plans. Within minutes of speaking to her, I knew Dexter was going to be in excellent hands. Her genuine love for dogs shone through, and her calm, friendly energy instantly put me at ease.
About a month before the wedding, Steph suggested meeting Dexter on a dog walk, which was such a thoughtful idea. Dexter loved her immediately, and that meeting set us up perfectly for the big day.
On the morning of the wedding, Steph collected Dexter from daycare, transported him safely to the venue, and took him on a great walk to burn off energy so he wouldn’t be overwhelmed. She managed everything seamlessly letting Dexter socialise with guests (where he completely stole the show!) and working effortlessly alongside the photographer to capture some truly epic wedding photos.
After the celebrations, Steph returned Dexter to daycare, and a short while later she shared behind‑the‑scenes footage from the day filmed from Dexter’s perspective. It was incredibly special and such a meaningful keepsake. As if that wasn’t enough, we also received the sweetest custom wedding gift a few days later, which completely melted our hearts.
I cannot recommend Steph or Saintly Paws enough. If anyone is unsure about having a dog chaperone for their wedding, I would happily provide a testimonial having Dexter there, cared for so thoughtfully, made our day even more special than I could have imagined.
Steph is the perfect example of trust and expertise when it comes to caring for my beloved furry baby, Ted. Her kindness, cheerful demeaner, and extensive knowledge make her the perfect caregiver for Ted. I wholeheartedly recommend Steph to anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry family members.

Jess & Tim's Wedding
The pleasure was all mine chaperoning these beautiful spotty pair at the wedding of Jess & Tim at Hothorpe Hall in South Leicestershire. Maverick is the handsome Dalmatian lad, a recent rescue, who can find new environments incredibly stimulating. We arrived in plenty of time so that he had time to settle, we played, sniffed, walked and had lots of Primula on hand to help keep him calm when there was a lot going on and when waiting in between photo locations. Pepper is the lovely lady dally and she had a big role as ring bearer. Here are a few of the snaps and images that I took on the day and sent to their mum and dad.
