  • Bruno was our ring bearer, and he is 11 years old. He has been with us through it all and brings us so much joy and love; the day wouldn’t have felt complete or right without having him there.

    FairyTail Pet Care was so kind and communicative. They answered all our questions with ease and thoroughness. We met beforehand and had no doubt they would take such good care of Bruno. They ran through a rehearsal with us and even let our other younger dog, Trudy, be part of the service.

    It was so helpful in comparison to having a friend or family member be in charge of your pet. This took the responsibility off of anyone else who is there to enjoy the day.

  • We chose to include our 3-year-old English bulldog, Booger, in our wedding because he is truly part of our family. Including Booger made the day even more special and personal, reminding us of the love and connection that extends beyond just the two of us.

    We were so grateful to FairyTail Pet Care, who took incredible care of him throughout the day, ensuring he was happy, safe, and part of the celebration in the sweetest way. Having him there made our wedding feel complete—it wouldn’t have been the same without our beloved furry family member by our side.

  • One of my favorite parts of the day was our private first look at Gizella Kopsick Palm Arboretum. We read our personal vows there, with only the breeze and our Frenchie, Winnie, as witnesses.

    We brought in FairyTail Pet Care so Winnie could be part of the celebration without any stress. They chauffeured her to the first look, helped her pose for photos, and then handed her off to Sam’s sister so she could trot down the aisle like the proud little flower girl she was born to be. Our guests still talk about how her cameo melted every heart in the room.

  • Our dog, Ollie, has been a huge part of our lives since college. My husband and I met and I fell in love with his shaggy haired dog immediately. This dog has nine lives we say as he’s been through the ringer with getting into chocolate and going through numerous surgeries; everyone loves his overall carefree personality through anything he’s been through himself or with us through our various life events. The day wouldn’t have been complete without him there.

    FairyTail Pet Care’s services was recommended by our planner, and we ultimately chose them as they set us up with our sitter and had us meet in person to get to know one another before the big day. After meeting with our sitter we immediately felt at ease knowing Ollie would be in the best hands as they are so thoughtful and kind to our special pup!

  • As a cat person, I was honestly a bit wary of dating someone who had dogs. But it wasn’t long before I fell in love with the pups (and Tyler), and now I couldn’t imagine our special day without them. They’ve been there through so many special moments in our relationship, so it made sense to have them there for our biggest milestone yet.

    Once you invite everyone you love and trust to your wedding, who’s left to care for your pets? FairyTail Pet Care handles everything, from pickup and photo posing to the ceremony, taking them home, and putting them to bed. It’s truly full service and takes away so much stress.

  • Incorporating our sweet Sammi girl into our wedding was a must—it was actually the first thing on our list when we started planning.

    I’ve always been a big fan of FairyTail Pet Care, from seeing them on Shark Tank to working with them on a wedding marketing segment at a previous job. We couldn’t wait to hire them, and they truly exceeded every expectation. They are wonderful people and absolute pros at what they do. They were so organized, covered every detail well in advance, and even arranged a meet-and-greet to ensure Sammi’s day went smoothly. They took care of our girl as if she were their own, and as overprotective dog parents, we completely trusted them. Sammi held such a special place on our big day, and we couldn’t have done it without FairyTail Pet Care.

  • Our dog, Finnegan, had to be a part of our wedding day because he is our fur baby! He brings us so much comfort and happiness every day, and he is always a reminder of how simply joyful life can be. He also never fails to calm my nerves, and that was definitely needed on our wedding day.

    Because we only trust the best of the best with our furry loved one, we chose FairyTail Pet Care, and they did not disappoint. They were punctual, followed very specific instructions well, and helped put our minds at ease knowing our dog was safe and secure.

  • It was so important for me to include our fur babies, Tibbs and Topo, in the wedding. We wanted them in photos and to walk down the aisle as flower girls.

    Fairytail Pet Care are dog whisperers. They provide a full service experience, including dog transportation. They show up with the dogs and help incorporate them when you want but also entertain them when you need a break. I would absolutely recommend hiring FairyTail to make including your dogs in your wedding stress-free.

  • 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!

    – Nicole and Richard |
  • 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!

    – Kelly and Jeremy |
  • 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.

    – Jennifer and Joey |
  • She’s a member of our family! There was never a question to not have her at our wedding. We’d heard great things about FairyTail, and they did not disappoint. The FairyTail Pet Care girls were really caring and compassionate, and we didn’t have to worry about our pups at all on the day of.

  • Hanley is our fur-baby, and we couldn’t imagine our day without him. He brings so much joy to us and everyone that meets him that we had to make him a part of this big day. He makes our family complete! Ilana and Kelly of Fairy Tail were absolutely fabulous from our first visit to even after our wedding was over. It was completely clear that they love their job, love the animals they work with as if they are their own, and are beyond qualified in caring for your pet whether it’s your wedding day, potty visits, or overnights!
