Some Love Stories Come
With a Dog

Wedding & Event care that lets your pup be part of the celebration

Dogs bring a different kind of tenderness to a wedding day and making that happen requires planning, pacing, and the kind of quiet logistics that go unnoticed until they go wrong.

We coordinate how and when your pup arrives, rests, takes breaks, joins for photos, and heads home, so they get to be part of the story without adding pressure to yours.

What It Looks Like in Practice

tailored Offering

Before the
wedding

A long walk, run, or adventure to burn energy, bathroom breaks before call-time, grooming coordination, collar florals, transportation to venue, and a quick decompress before photos.

Behind the wheel

How pups will
play came to be

Pups Will Play started with Courtney, a lifelong runner and dog person who spent years adventuring with her own pup, Gracie. When Gracie passed, that energy rerouted into the dogs she cared for next, and the work naturally grew from there.

Courtney doesn’t just take pups out, she pays attention to them. Their quirks, their confidence, their anxieties, their favorite smells, and the way they finally settle once they’re tired in the right way.

From Our Clients

  • The VW was such a fun and iconic addition to our wedding photos and Courtney made having our dog involved completely stress-free. She handled our dog with so much care, patience & EVEN MADE sure he was camera-ready the entire time. We got amazing photos! If you’re considering including your dog in your wedding, Courtney is an absolute must

    — Kristen

  • Since joining Pups Will Play, my dogs have become calmer, more relaxed, and obedient, plus they’re in great shape! They now have the energy and stamina to do so much more, and I love being able to take them everywhere with me on the weekends I work a corporate job that keeps me in the office five days a week and traveling often. My two adult dogs are my everything, so it’s such a relief knowing that every day they’re out on walks and adventures with Courtney and their furry friends. They’re getting exercise, socialization, and so much love, all while being cared for as if they were part of Courtney’s own family I really enjoy getting the daily photos and updates that Courtney provides after each walk. I have complete trust in Pups Will Play, I know they're getting the best care possible, you can see it in the smiles on their faces!

    — Doug

  • I love everything about Pups Will Play! The iconic bus, the gorgeous photos I receive of my dog having fun and most of all, Courtney. My dog leaps out the door to greet Courtney and crew on the street. She bounds into her iconic teal bus and off she goes for her daily adventure. I know with Courtney she is not only getting her daily exercise, but socialization as well. She loves being with the other pups and the time spent in the "pack" is good for her overall happiness and mental health. The best part about Pups Will Play is Courtney. Not only does our pup love her, but she is a deeply respected and loved member of our family. I trust her completely and know that she is treating my pup and my home just as she would her own.

    — Kristin

  • Our dog immediately perks up and can hardly contain his excitement when he hears the Pups Will Play bus approaching, he clearly associates the bus & Courtney with fun & adventure! He gets so much great exercise and socialization with all his pack pals, and we love seeing how happy he looks in all the photos. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s having the time of his life and always comes home happy and well-exercised.

    — Debi

  • “My pups absolutely light up when they hear the bus coming down the street — they can hardly contain themselves. The walks and hikes give them real exercise and the socialization has been huge. Courtney pays attention to their behavior and training in a way that most walkers don’t. My dogs honestly wouldn’t want to be without her.”

    — Liz

  • I love to travel, so it is very important for me to have someone I trust watch my dog for me while I am away. I know he gets plenty of love and attention, is well cared for, and gets to have his own little vacation with all his pack pals. He is never stressed when I leave because he knows he will have a wonderful time while I’m gone. I love getting the pictures & updates, it’s easy to see how happy he is on his adventures. Chester also gets weekly pack walks and I love seeing how joyfully he runs out to greet the rest of the pack. I’m very grateful for Courtney and Pups will Play!
