As we celebrate this milestone, we want to share some of our highlights with you! In 2018, we started as a dog walking business and quickly pivoted to focus solely on providing wedding day services fur pups and their loving pawrents. Our dedication to our clients has paid off, as we've gone from just nine weddings in our first year to over 100 each year, and have been recognized by The Knot’s Best of Award every year as well!

We began our services in Minnesota, but we've since expanded our reach to Illinois, Montana, and Colorado, thanks to our team of 13 pawmazing Pet Attendants! We're thrilled to have been able to provide our services to so many pups and their loving pawrents across multiple states. We can’t thank our Pet Attendants enough for all that they do to make each wedding day as special as can be!

We’re delighted to expand our team and welcome our Lead Planner and Barketing Manager, Annamarie! Annamarie has a background in events, project management, and strategic communication, in addition to professional experience caring for a wide range of pups. Annamarie is also a dog mama to three pups of her own - the St. Paul Pooches!

At Doggy Social, we take pride in giving back to the community and have donated to over 30 pup rescues throughout the years. As we continue to expand, we're constantly seeking ways to enhance our services for our clients and their beloved furry companions. That's why we're excited to introduce new offerings, including custom wedding day highlight pup videos!

But wait, there's more! We're excited to announce that our online shop will be launching this August! The shop will feature unique pet-themed accessories and gifts that you won't find anywhere else. Keep an eye out fur the launch, as supplies will be limited.

Once again, we want to thank you fur being a part of our journey so far. We couldn't have made it this far without you, and we're excited to see what the future holds fur Doggy Social! Cheers to five years, and many more to come!
