About

Must Love Dogs SoCal was founded by Kierstin Geary, a certified professional dog trainer with over 10 years of experience working with dogs in a variety of settings. Her background includes fostering, daycare supervision, boarding, and training, giving her a well-rounded approach to dog behavior and care. She created the service after recognizing the need for experienced, reliable dog handling at weddings.

How It Works

Your dog is picked up from your home or hotel and cared for throughout the day, with structured handling during photos, ceremony moments, and guest interactions. The handler coordinates with your photographer and timeline to ensure your pup is included where it matters most. After the celebration, your dog is safely returned home or cared for overnight depending on your plan.
