Paw Plus One
Expert wedding dog attendants with a full team across two states
San Francisco, CA, California
About
Paw Plus One was co-founded by Liv, a Bay Area native who works in tech and discovered a gap in the wedding market for professional, wedding-fluent dog care. The team spans attendants in the Bay Area and Portland — including Nina, a dog photographer and biotech professional, and Watson, a Bay Area native whose puppuccino skills have made him a hit with furry clients. Each team member brings genuine dog enthusiasm alongside their wedding-day professionalism.
How It Works
On your wedding day, your Paw Plus One attendant picks up your dog from home, preps them for their role, and handles all the logistics — from ceremony walk to formal family photos. If you choose a longer package, they coordinate with your photographer and vendors to make sure your pup is ready for every planned moment. Once the celebration wraps up, your dog is safely returned home or settled into overnight boarding while you enjoy the rest of your evening.
Serving San Francisco Bay Area, California and Portland, Oregon. Always open to traveling for wedding pet care needs.
Services & Capabilities
What Sets Them Apart
- Every attendant specializes exclusively in weddings — they know the exact timing of a First Look, when to step back during vows, and how to get your dog's best smile for the photographer.
- Event insurance is included with every package, so you and your wedding vendors have one less thing to coordinate.
- Safe, door-to-door transportation means your dog doesn't rely on a groomsman or family member — a dedicated attendant handles every pickup and drop-off.
- Their team covers both the Bay Area and Portland, so couples planning in either region have access to local, experienced handlers.
- The Dual Delight package assigns a separate handler to each dog, ensuring personalized care even when two pups need to be in different places at the same time.

They are based in San Francisco, California and Portland, Oregon, and also serve surrounding Bay Area cities such as Napa, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and San Jose. Contact them to confirm availability for your specific wedding location.
How do I choose the right service package?
The right package depends on how long you need your dog present and what role they will play. If your dog is only needed for the ceremony and a few photos, a shorter package may work. For First Look through cocktail hour, a longer package is recommended. Submitting an inquiry lets them help you find the perfect fit.
