Ok, I could use some advise....

Me & my partner get married soon,

The issue is, I won't be at home on the Friday evening, but the partner will be. On the Saturday morning he will be leaving the house at say 10am? I will be at my mums who lives 10 doors away & my mum is going to keep popping down until she has to leave for the church at 2:30 and even bring her up to see me before I leave!!!


But then, I have nobody to come see her.
Everyone I trust in my house and with my girl will be with me at the wedding... So I am literally going over and over it in my head.. Will she be ok?

My mum has said when she gets back from the wedding she will either come stay at mine so Roxy isn't on her own unless we come home that is, or she will take Roxy up to her house to stay for the night.

So roughly she's going to be left from 2:30 till say midnight?
I know this is bloody awful and if I could have her will me for the day I would but my venue just isn't dog friendly


Some advice please? Xx

Bit tricky. Could you not ask even just a neighbour to pop in to feed her, let her out for the toilet, do a Kong for her, etc.?

Its not ideal but sometimes it happens, as Tara said any neighbours?

Good luck with the wedding

If she's took for a good walk and let out for a wee, and left with a couple of frozen kongs, for one day it's not the end of the world if noone can get back to her

Or what about even for that one day getting a dog walker (there are some good ones) to pop in and let her out to the toilet etc. Maybe even go for a short walk if you were happpy enough.

If you have good neighbours that would be the handiest. Mine are all absolute morons though.

What about looking round for a posh doggy hotel for the night / 2 nights. She gets pampered and you get to enjoy your wedding without worrying about her

actually put it this way, my two have been left from 9am until 10pm, it was an emergency we had to go out of sheffield for the day, and i cannot have anyone come into the house due to aggression issues, and they were fine, and looked like they has slept all day and were fine

Thanks all..

She will of had 2 walks, one at 6:45 like she has everyday & my mum will take her around lunchtime.

Ill have a look into a dog sitter/walker/hotel!

As like mat, the neighbours are morons and I see the way they treat there own dog!!! X

Hope it all goes well and you get something arranged - I am sure she will be fine though... Good luck with the wedding

You sure both you and Mat don't live in my street as the neighbours on one side of me are morons too

Lol we are all cursed with idiot neighbours by the sound of it

I'd normally say that 10 hours is way too long. But sometimes things can't be helped.

If you can't get someone to pop in, then make sure you leave her some safe toys to play with & plenty of water (two bowls in case it gets hot - yeah, right!) & then make sure she gets a walk when you do get home.

Congratulations, by the way! Good luck for your future & I hope everything goes well on the day.

I'm going to warm my house tonight by making a little fire > >

I just had a quick look online for a company who will come in and see her... Found a possibliity and there local, so I could get them to keep on coming throughout the day!

Thankyou, it's not till June but needed to get this sorted as it has been bugging me! Xx

Always best to get things sorted out in advance - then you can just enjoy the day!

It is only one day. It is not as if it will be a regular thing, so i wouldn't panic! I used to get sick of the one dayers in the kennels, once a person booked the dog in for they were going to a wedding and left it in at 11am and picked it up again at 5pm! Was just a waste of money lol

Sounds like you've found a good possibility! Will you meet with them before hand?

If I was worried about the dogs and it was my only option I would go for it , wasting money is not important . On a special day like this you need to have your miund settled as much as possible so whatever it takes

Congratulations for your big day, how exciting.

Have you thought of Barking Mad, see the link below, sorry I cannot personally vouch for them:

Yes would definately meet first. Rody is very very excited when she sees people and sometimes can get a bit too excited so I would want to make sure they know what she's like!

A very good friend of ours have said they will leave the wedding twice to come check on her if we wanted them too.. So that's an option as they know roxy and have done since the day we brought her home!

And I totally agree Dave, I don't really see it as a waste of money! She's 7 months old and my baby! Who is never left for more than a few hours!! Xx

Agree with this. We have had to leave Suki for 12 hours on a few occasions and she has been fine. Given the fact you have time a good dog walker would be great

Agree with everyone's advice, the more help you can get the less you will worry on your big day, congrats.
