About us

Your four-legged pal is a special part of your family, so we're here to make sure they are a part of your special day.

We’re Kel and Stu, two Wellington-based dog parents to a very handsome pup named Arlo.

When we got married, we would’ve loved to have our dog come along and be part of or wedding day, but we couldn’t find a way to make it happen without sending our friends and family back and forth. So, we developed Puptials - your Wellington-based special event pet care provider. From weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or photoshoots we’re here to take the stress out of having your dog join in on the celebrations.

We understand how important your pup is to you, and how much they are part of your family. We go out of our way to provide you with the peace of mind that they’ll be happy and safe on your big day.

We collect your dog and manage them throughout your event, ensuring they’re well cared for - keeping your pup occupied and comfortable when you don’t need them, and making sure they’re happy and present when you do.

Our services include walking, exercising, watering and cleaning up after your dog as  required, as well as ensuring they’re looking their best for the big day. When it’s time for your dog to head home, we’ll drop them off and get them settled in for the evening.

Staying away from home for the night? Consider our Morning After Add-on. Available with any Puptials booking, we’ll pop back in the morning to provide your pup with breakfast and let them out for a bathroom break so that you can have a relaxing morning.

We pride ourselves on offering tailored solutions that meet the needs of you and your dog. Whether you just want your pup to pop-in for photos or have them take centre-stage, we’ll be there to help keep you, your pup and your special day stress free!
