Our Personality
We’re paw-ty animals! But really, our goal is to have a good time including your pet on the biggest day of your life. We are passionate about animals and strive to do whatever it takes to make our clients and their pups as happy and stress-free as possible.
What Inspired Us to Start Our Business
We have been bringing pawsitivity to the wedding community since 2015!
The idea for our company came to us while working for a Tampa-based hotel.
We saw a need in the wedding industry that spoke to us; couples wanted to include their pets in their special day but quickly became overwhelmed. Our pets are our family and we couldn’t imagine them missing out on such a special day.
There was no other company offering the services we knew these couples needed, so we paved the way & created what we’ve now coined as the Wedding Day Pet Care industry!
It was difficult in the beginning to introduce this very unique service, to vendors & couples alike. We worked extremely hard educating & perfecting our service.
It’s been so incredible to watch as wedding pet care has become an option for so many couples across the world!
What Makes Our Business Stand Out
Founded in 2015, we are the first Wedding Day Pet Care company in the US! We are experienced wedding & event professionals. Our mission is to treat our clients’ pets like they are our own & help rescues find their home. This is why a portion of every FairyTail Wedding is donated to a local animal shelter.
Associations & Awards
The wedding pet care company as seen on Shark Tank! We had the opportunity to pitch on Shark Tank in 2023 and aired on Season 15. It was the most incredible experience and we got a deal with our dream shark – Barbara Corcoran! She is now a partner and invaluable mentor for FairyTail Pet Care.

Ilana & Kelly are the founders of FairyTail Pet Care… along with the canine founders: Cooper, Rowdie & Grizzie (from left to right.) These are the same rescue pups’ silhouettes that you’ll find in our FairyTail logo!
They started the Nation’s 1st Wedding Pet Care company right here in Tampa, Florida. While there are now several franchise locations, the Tampa Bay market is still owned & operated by the two founders.
You may recognize them from Season 15 of Shark Tank where they pitched to the Sharks & landed a deal with Barbara Corcoran!
One thing most couples would be surprised to know is:
We (Ilana & Kelly, the co-founders) have been best friends since we were 13. We’ve worked many jobs together over the years & have been dreaming big since the start. It’s honestly been no surprise to those close to us that we started a business together bringing dogs to weddings.

We wanted someone who could be trusted with our girls. Emma, our Basset Hound, is quite the escape artist, and with our venue being on a busy road, we wanted them to be safe. I personally know Ilana and knew my girls would be in good hands with her and her team at Fairytail Pet Care.
Emma and Zoe had the best time with them and probably would have gone home with them if we let them! Our pictures with Emma and Zoe are phenomenal because they were able to get their attention and pose all of us (something I have never been able to do with them).

Well, there was really not much room for negotiations here! I think Will would have said, “Nope, we’re going to have the wedding somewhere else if Lady can’t come!” Lady is my little human dog-daddy’s daughter. We love her so much, and she is so spoiled! We knew from the start she was going to be the cutest flower girl walking down the aisle at our ceremony, but given we had two adorable flower girls, Lady became the official “Dog of Honor.”
I had to keep reminding myself, your wedding day only happens once in a lifetime! Lady was very good at helping with those reminders. Like when she stopped by the cottages where I was getting ready. After a nice, long, fun walk to say hi to me, we captured a few pre-wedding memories. Those pictures I will cherish forever!
Lady definitely always knows how to put a smile on my face. The timing of the entire day could not have run more smoothly. Ilana of Fairytail Pet Care texted me the morning of just assuring me they would be at our home to pick Lady up at the arranged time. Another great service they offered was the additional pet sitting hours as an add-on. We usually don’t leave her alone for a maximum of four hours. With the reception not ending until around 10 p.m. plus the additional time it takes for my parents to get back to our home, the add-on option was perfect! It gave Lady some quiet time to calm from all the craziness of the day.
It might seem overboard to some, but for me it was a huge relief having that confirmation that she was well taken care of, knowing our little girl had a buddy to cuddle up with on the couch, especially with such a nonstop chaotic day, with the lights left on and tv volume up, she had a chance to eat a little food, go potty, and our home was locked up properly.
Not to mention the massive smiles that were on our faces when we viewed the pictures that Ilana sent of Lady throughout the whole wedding day! She has such a little personality! We thought it was such a good idea that they played a lot of ball before the ceremony and allowed her to see and smell the space before all the guests started to arrive. I would pay for FairyTale Pet Care’s services over and over again!

I have been so lucky to work with them many times over the years and they are just the most reliable and sweetest company. We wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with our girl!

We couldn’t imagine such a wonderful day being celebrated without our dog Phoebe there with us. She’s been there every step of our relationship and is the center of our world. I was stressed about the logistics of who was going to pick her up, take care of her during the day, make she was fed, etc., and that’s when [I discovered] FairyTail Pet Care. We were so happy to have them take care of Phoebe and appreciative of the care they provided her. It was completely worth it! Also, the GoPro video that they gave us of Phoebe’s activities had to be one of the best memories that we have and we’ll be able to watch it forever.

Max is our little son; our dog is our world. We knew from the day we got him, he would be a part of the wedding. I was really stressing out about watching Max during the wedding, but when I met Kelly of FairyTail Pet Care, I thought what a genius idea?! I trust very few with my dogs, and Kelly sent pictures, texts and really made every wedding worry go away. The Go-Pro video was so cute! I have family members who tell me that they don’t show our video, they show Max’s view that FairyTail did!

Our dog is our child in every way. How do you have a wedding without your child!? The answer is you can’t, so he was there. I was so happy to find FairyTail Pet Care! They took care of all the logistics that would have otherwise been placed on a family member or member of our wedding party. Because of them, we were all able to focus on our day and know our sweet boy was well cared for and attended to.
