SO worth it!!! LOVE them!! When I saw an ad for doggy social in the MN wedding magazine, I knew we had to hire them for our wedding day! And I’m SO glad we did! My hubby and I felt so reassured that our 2 pups were being taken care of on our b...
ig day - from picking them up, settling them in, to dropping them off, we did not question them once - they did such an amazing job! With the stress that comes normally with a wedding, Lara and Lauren really took that stress off and we trusted them 100%. With the initial meet, they loved on them and had a desire to get to know all about their quirks, schedule, likes/dislikes. They also provided the cutest flower collar for our girl Bear & took some cute behind the scene shots! They were punctual, economical, professional, genuinely interested and so loving & caring towards our pups. We would trust them a thousand times again with our love units. Thank you SO much Doggy Social ❤️ You guys are literally the best!!

ng without some of the most important members of our family but also didn't want to worry about who was watching them. Doggy Social relieved ALL of that stress! The meet and greet was such a good idea as it allowed my dogs to get to know them. They know how to deal with all kinds of pups which was amazing as I have one of each- an old dog, a very shy dog and a crazy puppy. They knew exactly how to approach them all and gain their trust which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving them in charge of our babies. They offer pretty much any service you could need for your pets on your big day and allow you to choose the exact package that is right for you. Even with 3 dogs (which gave us 2 attendants!) and all of the services that we chose, it was very affordable! Plus, they donate some of the proceeds to a rescue of your choice so making this decision not only helped us but helped other pups in need as well! From the meet and greet, helping prep our ring bearers to walk down the aisle, helping with pictures and even bringing the pups around to mingle with guests after the ceremony, they did such an amazing job! To top it all off, they spent the night with them and made sure they were fed and taken care of for our arrival home the next morning.

d to have them in the wedding. We found Doggy Social through the bride pages online and set up an appointment. Lara responsed promptly and set up a meet and greet. Our pups are hyper and they took to her so quickly. Her calm and loving energy really calmed our pups and we knew we found the right service! Lara asked lots of questions and answered even more! She was so helpful and informative- a true professional! We stayed in contact throughout the months leading to wedding and signed contracts and all that. She was very flexible especially with Covid going on. She was transparent and had her preparedness plan ready for us to look at. When we met again closer to wedding she brought all kinds of goodies to help finalize details for wedding. She called our vendors, and the dog daycare to make sure all was set up! She is highly organized and honestly we couldn’t have felt safer leaving our pups with her. Wedding day came around and I cannot describe how amazing it was to see the pups and know she had everything under control. She executed her plans perfectly and helped get amazing photos and give the love and attention to our dogs that was needed when we were shuffling around. Her professionalism and expertise are unmatched and I cannot stop gushing over how amazing she was to work with! I never worried about our dogs once on our day and having them there made the day perfect. I highly recommend Doggy Social MN for any event you want your pups at. It will be worth every penny to have the deep level of trust and comfort. Outside of your own, your dogs couldn’t be in better hands. Thank you Lara for all you do! P.s. her services go above and beyond in many ways from Pinterest boards, leashes, flower crowns and even behind the scenes photos! You cannot beat Doggy Social MN!

the photos and made sure they didn't get paw prints on my dress!), and made sure the dogs were comfortable the entire time. Our pups were escorted down the aisle by members of our wedding party and both started barking mid-ceremony. Doggy Social MN discreatly came and grabbed their leashes to get them to a more comfortable environment. It made my husband and I feel so much better knowing that our two fur babies were getting all the attention that they deserved (far more than any of our friends who were guests would've given them if we had them watch the dogs instead!). Our girls are both a little reactive, and love scrounging for food, and Lara and team kept them super calm and happy while the pups visited with guests during cocktail hour. Everyone loved having the dogs there. I have already and will continue to recommend Doggy Social MN to every single one of my friends who have dogs and are getting married. We're also planning to use them again if we ever do professional family photos! Recommend 10/10 every day of the week!

Lara was wonderful to work with from the initial phone call, meet & greet, puppy Pinterest board to the day itself.

I have worked with and around dogs for many many years and I can say that Lara is truly a caring, trustworthy and knowledgeable person when it comes to pet care! She made sure that even though we only had a couple weeks, that she set aside time to come to our house and meet our dogs in person so we could make sure they knew her before the wedding date and make sure that we were comfortable with her before signing or paying anything. Lara has so much experience with weddings, it was great just having her expertise there to think of little things we might not have.. she even had cute beads, flowers and a chalkboard sign ready for the dogs when we took photos. She came super prepared and on our muddy rainy wet wedding day she made sure the dogs were not jumping on people and were all wiped clean and dry before the ceremony. Our dogs are our entire world, and I seriously could not imagine my wedding day without them. The list of people I trust with my dog’s care is very short as I’m sure many people can relate to.. but I can confidently say I will recommend Lara to anyone who asks!! Her pricing is very reasonable for everything that she does and she is so good with dogs she for sure made it into my list!

I highly recommend working with Lara! I am a photographer and recently worked with her at a wedding. She was so helpful in having the bride and groom's fur-baby prepared for the photo part of the day! She was very thorough in communication befo...
rehand and made sure she knew the timeline and where and when the dog needed to be available for photos. She also came ready with squeaky toys and treats so that the pup was attentive in photos as well! I know my clients appreciated having one less thing to worry about coordinating on their wedding day. I hope to work with her again sometime soon!

Doggy Social MN is AMAZING! If you love your fur baby and want them to be apart of your BIG day, this is who you need to go through! Lara was outstanding! We never hesitated leaving our Shelby with her, whether it was during the drive to the ve...
nue, walking her through the park, set up for pictures, or the drive home, we knew she was in great hands. Would use this service again in a heart beat if needed. She goes out of her way to help in any way-but not too much. Things get very hectic near the big day and she was there in any way needed. So thankful we got to capture our big day with our dog to have those memories forever. Thank you!
