My Wedding Tail

At first, I hadn’t even thought about it. Planning a wedding is a whirlwind—flowers, themes, seating charts, oh my gosh - all the things! (And yes, the thought of eloping crossed my mind more than once.) Then one spring afternoon, my sweet girl Kya strolled into the room. She looked at me with those big brown eyes that had seen me through some of the hardest chapters of my life, and I thought: “What about you? You have to be there.”

From that moment, there was no turning back. My wedding vision changed. The venue choices were instantly cut in half because dogs weren’t allowed at many places. We said our vows on the beach, waves crashing behind us, and Kya and Mr. BiG right there beside me. Having her there wasn’t just special—it was everything.

When the day was done and the honeymoon haze faded, I went back to managing my dog walking business, Game Time Dog Services when a light bulb went off: What if other couples wanted their pets by their side too—but didn’t know how to make it happen?

That’s when the idea for a Wedding Day Pet Attendant was born.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of caring for so many couples’ beloved pets on their wedding day. Each story has been unique, but the love—the joy—it’s always the same. One of my favorite memories was in 2019, when I cared for Meatloaf, the sweet rescue pup of X-Ambassadors keyboardist Casey Harris and his wife Liv. Their wedding was electric—so full of love—and when Meatloaf trotted down the aisle, the entire crowd melted into a chorus of “Awwwww!” It was pure joy, and it reminded me exactly why I do what I do.

What began as a heartfelt addition in 2013 has now grown into something bigger than I ever dreamed. In 2024, I officially launched A Wedding Tail, a business dedicated solely to making sure your furry family members can be a part of your day—where they belong.

I was born and live in Austin and have roots in San Antonio, and Dallas. Today, my team and I are honored to serve couples all across the state of Texas—whether you’re getting married under twinkling Hill Country skies, in the heart of Houston, or at a Dallas ballroom.

From guiding your pup down the aisle to sneaking them into family portraits, to giving them belly rubs and quiet breaks when they need it, we’re here to make sure your wedding day is seamless, joy-filled, and unforgettable—for all of your loved ones, two-legged and four-legged alike.

Let’s create beautiful memories with your fur babies by your side!

Warmly,
