About The Good Guest

The Good Guest

Wedding Day Pet Attendant

For couples who can’t imagine celebrating without their dog there too, The Good Guest helps make their involvement feel natural, easy, and fully cared for from start to finish. From transportation and wedding day coordination to pet sitting and overnight care, every detail is thoughtfully handled so your dog can be part of one of life’s biggest moments - right alongside you.

Built around the flow of weddings, TGG is not just pet sitting. We work alongside your timeline and with your vendors to make sure your dog is comfortable, cared for, and seamlessly included throughout the day so you can stay present and enjoy every moment.

    Exactly who you’d want there

    Tara is one of the most organized, thoughtful, and caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. A true animal lover, but she adores dogs! She treats pets like family and naturally goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. The Good Guest is such a natural extension of who she is, and I would trust her completely with any pet on any day but especially on a day as important as a wedding. She cared for my dog who was elderly, required medications & had physical limitations. She was not only compassionate with my aging dog, but showed extreme attention to detail in following our directions precisely. Any couple working with her will immediately feel how calm, dependable, and genuinely invested she is in making the experience feel seamless. I highly recommend this talented, caring dog lover.

    The best stand in dog mommy!

    Tara has watched my dog, Gidget, on a number of occasions both overnight and for the day. As a dog mom herself, she knows the level of commitment that goes into watching dogs, and did every silly thing we needed her to do (like give Gidget a belly rub before her harness otherwise she won’t go into it easily, or that she needs to eat chicken while you’re eating dinner otherwise she won’t eat her kibble - you know, crazy dog mom stuff). We got constant pictures and updates so we knew our dog was well taken care of and didn’t have to worry at all. Outside of being a trusted dog sitter, Tara is someone I have worked with in the past as well and can attest to her organization, attention to detail, and ability to create a seamless customer experience. She’s calm, cool, and collected under stress and I would trust her with anything I needed help getting done no matter what arena. Both you and your dog can’t go wrong with Tara - sit back, enjoy your wedding, and let her take care of your fur babies until you come down from that wedding high!

I step in as your dog’s dedicated handler for the day, helping with everything from transportation and potty breaks to ceremony coordination, photos, overnight care, and making sure they’re comfortable throughout the celebration.
Every wedding is different, so services are tailored around your timeline, your venue’s policies, your dog’s personality, and what feels best for everyone involved.
Yes! Overnight care and pet sitting can absolutely be included the day before the wedding, after the wedding, or for however long is needed depending on your plans and your dog’s needs.
Yes, transportation can absolutely be arranged as part of your package to help the day feel as seamless and stress-free as possible. I can pick your dog up from wherever they’re staying - whether that’s your home, hotel, family member’s house, or boarding location, bring them to the wedding, and transport them afterward as well. Every wedding is different, so transportation and care plans are customized around what works best for you, your timeline, and your dog.
Definitely. I work closely with your planner, photographer, venue, and vendors to help your dog’s involvement feel natural, seamless, and easy throughout the day so everyone, including your pup, can simply enjoy the celebration.
While dogs are the primary focus, I’m happy to discuss other pets on a case-by-case basis. For the comfort and safety of everyone involved, pets should be friendly and comfortable being around people, new environments, and event settings.
