A Pad 4 Paws are a Devon-based Dog Chaperoning service and a Doggy Daycare/Dog Walking service that allows your special pet to become part of your wedding day. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we understand that your four-legged friend should be there. Owners Sue and Pete offer a dedicated and individual service to each dog. By only taking in a small number of dogs, they can ensure that your dog receives the attention they deserve.
Services Offered
A Pad 4 Paws offer a BESPOKE service which includes your dog being collected and chaperoned throughout your wedding ceremony. They will ensure that your precious pooch is present for photos and will stay with them all day while you enjoy your wedding. Once your puppy is all tired out, they will take them back aPad4Paws (following a successful meet-up). This is where they will spend the night, socialising and playing with other dogs.
They also provide a pet sit after the chaperone for dog-friendly venues. This means that the dog may be staying at the venue, and therefore, they will hand the dog back to the couple/family member at the end of the wedding reception.
We take photos and videos of your dog/s during your day (as long as your happy for us too) and then send them across to you as a personalised aspect of their day! At no extra charge. We do not replace Photographers or Videographers but this allows your pup has been upto on their happiest and your happiest day from beginning to end.
We offer zoom meetings mid week at 6:30PM to say hi and answer any questions you may have.
We are looking forward to hearing from you soon!
NB: our 2024 and 2025 diaries are filling up fast so do get in touch soon to avoid disappointment.

Exemplary service! Such a brilliant idea and so glad we found them!
Could not praise Sue highly enough. She was an intrinsic part of making our day so special!! Our dogs were not just looked after, they were treated like family; treats, so many walks, exercises and rest time with cuddles.
The girls were never too far away for pictures and we were sent a doggy diary of pictures and updates throughout the day. Everyone complimented me on how good the doggy chaperones were and I agree!
Sue was the pinnacle of professionalism from start to finish. Her communication with us from initial booking through until the day was exemplary. She is so friendly and kind and an absolute credit to the industry.
Her price was incredibly reasonable too. I could not recommend her more and I'm so grateful we found her!

A dog's best friend
Sue and Pete were absolutely fantastic to us throughout the lead up to the wedding, and on the day. Bobby immediately fell in love with Sue on the day of the wedding (maybe because of all the treats she'd brought with her!), and Sue took fantastic care of him throughout the day. The peace of mind it gave us on the day, knowing Bobby was in safe hands, was priceless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sue and Pete to anyone!

Perfect supplier!
We really wanted our dog Ralphy to be part of our wedding day but wanted our family to be able to enjoy the day without having to look after him. Sue and Pete were great at explaining what they’d be able to do on the day for us to make sure Ralphy was involved where we wanted him to be. On the day Sue was great and took lots of photos for us so we could see what Ralphy was up to. He was chief greeter for guests and loved it! Sue was there as much as we needed and nothing was too much trouble.

Amazing, would highly recommend!!
Sue & Pete were amazing from the start, from our very first zoom meeting we were put at ease and knew they were the right people for us and our boy, Tucker. Their communication was brilliant right up until the wedding & on the wedding day, answering any questions we had. Having Tucker at our wedding made it so much more special and Sue & Pete made that happen for us! We will be forever grateful, a memory we will cherish always. Thankyou so much. Would highly recommend to everyone !!!

A home from home for our pups!
Sue and Pete are superstars! My 2 pups stayed with them over the weekend for our weekend wedding and they visited us on the day to play a special part in the wedding. We were kept updated of their antics throughout their stay and they made themselves quite at home. Would recommend A Pad 4 Paws to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you so much for taking the best care of our pups and allowing them to be present for our wedding day.

An amazing bespoke service
From our initial Zoom call with Sue & Pete we both knew they were the perfect couple to take care of Poppy on our wedding day in St Ives.
It was such a comfort to know that on our special day that our beautiful girl was in such loving & caring hands. Sue & Pete’s love of animals was so evident from the start and every little attention to detail was provided. Even on the day nothing was set in stone and their flexibility to our needs shone through.
Thank you for being there at just the right moment and allowing us to capture such perfect memories of all of us together.
With love from us both & lots of woofs and quite a few licks from Poppy.

Sue & Pete are absolute stars!
Sue and Pete are absolute stars! So extremely helpful and lovely and made us feel so relaxed and that everything was in hand for Archie on our wedding day.
Pete was so accommodating on the day and Archie loved spending time with his new bestie!
Pete was on hand when we needed Archie for photos and everything was seamless and stress free! We felt confident that he had Archie under control, Archie is very strong and can pull somewhat but Pete made it look easy which was really reassuring for me.
They went above and beyond and we are so extremely grateful for the wonderful pictures and videos Pete captured on the day, and was a really lovely surprise to have these sent over the day after our wedding and we loved seeing our day from Archie’s point of view.
I really couldn’t recommend these guys enough! Absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much for everything and bringing our dream of having Archie at our wedding, a reality.
All our love,
Laura, Sam & Archie xx

Best thing we had for our wedding!
Sue and Pete looked after our fur babies as if they were part of their family.
We had a few hurdles to overcome when we got another puppy 9 months before the wedding and there was a risk she would be in season. There was no trouble at all for Sue and Pete to help us, of course they would take our new puppy and they worked out a plan with us in case she did come into season and she couldn't stay with them. I was so grateful for their help and support as I was so worried about what to do.
Both of our dogs could stay with Sue and Pete, we had our meet and greet at their home where Merlin and Morgana got settled and welcomed with open arms.
The day of the wedding... it was perfect to have Merlin and Morgana there, it just made everything that much more special to have our whole family there. I can't thank Sue and Pete enough for making it possible. Merlin and Morgana had the best time with Sue and Pete, and I got regular updates of how they were getting on and even some behind the scenes photos of the dogs on the wedding day.

One in a Million
Sue & Pete are truly incredible people. They love dogs with their whole hearts and that much was obvious from our first zoom call with them, to the first meeting with our dogs and to drop off on the day before the wedding. The love they showed our babies was second to none. They took Bella and Milo in like they were their own and I had photos sent to me beginning just 20 minutes after we dropped them off right up until the morning of collection. We knew our babies were safe, loved and cared for the whole time. She brought the dogs to our wedding for photos and she kept them entertained and busy the whole time to ensure they didn’t get bored or start acting up (we were shocked that they were even our dogs.. there’s usually no calming them down!). Sue took her time and patience with them to settle them down when they started barking. They were so well looked after and cared for. We even found out Pete slept on the sofa with our dogs on the last night! Phenomenal service, we’re now looking at getting Bella and Milo into doggy day care with them as soon as life returns to pre-wedding normality!

Perfect in every way!!!!!!
We came across APad4Paws dog chaperoning on instagram whilst looking for someone to look after our anxious dog Douglas for our wedding. We knew Sue and Pete would be the perfect match after reading they had looked after anxious dogs in the past. Sue was absolutely BRILLIANT on the day! Our boy is very nervous and shy’s away from people he has not met but leading up to the wedding we had a few zoom calls and on the day he was not nervous around her at all! She came with treats to hand, walked him around the grounds so they got used to each other and was there for every photo moment and he even managed to be our ring bearer on the day with her keeping a close eye in case he needed any help. (We were not sure if he would be able to do this)
We are so grateful to have come across APad4Paws and highly recommend them to anyone. Our dog Douglas has found a new friend in Sue and we will always remember how smoothly our big day went thanks to her.
Thank you so much!

We cannot thank Sue and Pete enough!
From the first familiarisation to the excellent communication and venue visit right through to the day itself. They have been. I thing short of brilliant. Luna is a nervous dog but they made her feel so settled and comfortable with them.
Having Luna at our wedding was amazing and only made possible by A Pad 4 Paws, they kept Luna calm when we wanted her in the background but also had her on hand for when we needed her.
Sue was ever so friendly and helped to support us on our big day!
I would recommend A Pad 4 Paws to anyone without hesitation.

The Simakoloyi wedding 10.10.2024
We couldn’t recommend Sue and Pete enough!
We had a zoom call early on in the planning to introduce ourselves and our fur baby Cece. From the first call we knew they are what we needed. They were so kind and thorough we knew they would take good care of our little girl .
We stayed in touch and then we met up at their house for the first time closer to the wedding for Cece to familiarise herself with the place she would be staying at. We met their two not so small fur babies 🤣 Cece absolutely loved them and made herself at home. Sue and Pete run through the plan and explained how everything works where she would sleep etc.
On the day of the wedding Sue came and took
Cece of my hands immediately which made it so much easier taking photos and getting ready.
Our favourite photos with our fur baby were stress free and only possible thanks to Sue. 🥹🥰
Sue then to Cece back to their house and she sent us a lot of photos of Ceces POV of the day and what she was up to at their house.
There was no pressure to respond immediately to any messages but it was definitely a highlight of the evening seeing that Cece was happy chilling with the other doggos.
Sue and Pete, thank you for taking good care of our girl you made it all so stress free and it was the most magical day. 🥰
We will definitely be using some of your other services in the future 🩷
Love
Klaudia , Buzz and Cece

Amazing and stress-free way to share your special day with your pups!
Sue and Donna were absolutely fantastic, communication was great and the zooms ahead of the ceremony meant the whole thing was seamless. Cannot thank them enough for looking after Jasper and Millie, ensuring they were looked after and they could be there to join us for photos. Our minds were completely at ease and the dogs were very happy and looked after with plenty of walks, treats, cuddles and interaction. Cannot thank them enough.
