Bark & Bride Wedding Pet Care in Austin, TX, is a wedding day rental pet care service designed to help couples include their pets in one of the most important days of their lives—without adding stress or distraction. Based in Austin and serving the Texas Hill Country, Bark & Bride specializes in providing professional, compassionate care so pets can safely and seamlessly be part of the celebration.
On a day that’s often fast-paced and emotional, Bark & Bride steps in as a dedicated handler for your pet, managing every detail of their involvement. This can include transporting your pet to and from the venue, assisting with getting them photo-ready, and coordinating their role in key moments like walking down the aisle or participating in portraits.
Beyond those highlight moments, the service ensures your pet is comfortable, calm, and well cared for throughout the day. Weddings can be overwhelming environments for animals, with large crowds, loud music, and unfamiliar settings. Bark & Bride provides attentive, behind-the-scenes care—handling feeding, water breaks, walks, and rest time—so your pet remains happy and stress-free while you stay fully present in your celebration.
A key part of the Bark & Bride experience is coordination. The team works closely with wedding planners, photographers, and venues to ensure your pet’s involvement flows naturally within the timeline. Whether your dog is featured throughout the day or just makes a special appearance, every detail is thoughtfully managed to create a seamless experience.
Ultimately, Bark & Bride allows couples to “invite their dog to the wedding” in a meaningful, worry-free way. By combining professional pet handling with an understanding of wedding logistics, the service ensures that your four-legged family member is included safely, beautifully, and memorably—without placing that responsibility on friends or family.

Hi, I'm Clare!
As a lifelong animal lover and wedding industry professional, I created Bark & Bride to help couples include their pets in their weddings-without the stress. I know firsthand how important pets are, they are family and they likely know you better than 99% of the guests at your wedding. It's crucial they are a part of your big day! After all, they've been there for all the other big decisions you've made. But weddings are busy, emotional, and fast-moving, and making sure your pet is safe, calm, and in the right place at the right time can quickly become overwhelming for you and your friends and family. Think of me as your pet's personal assistant, navigating all the wedding logistics so they can enjoy your wedding as a proper guest.
With a background in wedding planning, coordination, pet sitting, and veterinary hospital customer service I bring a calm, attentive, and professional presence to your wedding day. I handle everything from transportation and timeline coordination to on-site pet care and photo assistance-so your pet can shine during their big moment, and you can stay fully present for yours.
One of my favorite parts of my job is looking back over the photos and videos I take throughout my services and see the pure magic a pet was experiencing by being included in such a joyful and exciting event. At Bark & Bride, I make it easy to say "yes" to inviting your pet to your wedding. So go ahead, add your dog to the guest list!
