25.01.2022 , ’ , . . We had our first Wedding Expo in January Our first wedding in February... Hired our first staff member in March The bookings were flowing in for the rest of the year. Then it came, I watched on as so many of our beautiful couples made the difficult decision to postpone their weddings, or to cancel indefinitely. I wasn’t sure whether this little dream of mine would survive, or whether or should even try and keep it alive. But I pushed on, took it for what it was and continued looking into the future and planning for what we could do when we came back. : our first wedding back for the year in November, with another in December, with an almost fully booked January and a busy February on the way! I am so proud to do what I do, making memories for couples with their pets. I know firsthand how much of a special thing this was for Alex and I at our own wedding with Theodore, it’s my favourite thing in the world seeing how excited everyone is to have their fur babies front row while they say their I Do’s. ’ , ! , ?

25.01.2022 Down The Aisle We were thrilled to see a sneak peak of professional photos at last weeks wedding by @love.and.other Peppa and Chuck were perfectly behaved on their way down the aisle and as honorary bridesmaid and groomsman throughout the ceremony.

20.01.2022 Cant wait to be at this gorgeous venue on Friday with Peppa and Chuck Posted @withregram @harvestermoon

19.01.2022 ! With your wedding day fast approaching and planning in full swing (or if youve unfortunately had to postpone due to COVID and now have a little extra time on your hands) you might be wondering how best to involve your pets, or pay tribute to them, on your wedding day. Whether you have a dog, cat, rabbit, lizard, or even a horse thats a special part of your life - read via the link below and find the pe...rfect way to ensure theyre a memorable part of your special celebration. #theweddingsittervic https://www.theweddingsitter.pet/blog

18.01.2022 ! Pictured here is our gorgeous boy, love of our lives, Theodore, who was the Best Cat on our wedding day and the inspiration to start this business. His cheeky, confident, sassy personality have us in fits of laughter everyday. Life just wouldnt be the same without his morning squeaky meows at the bedroom door, waiting for ear rubs and breakfast, or our nightly wrestling matches on the loungeroom floor (he loooooves a rough play!) ... ? - ! Cats are territorial by nature and can often feel quite vulnerable, frightened, or on-edge when outside of their home environments. If your cat is relaxed, confident and takes changes in their stride - with some supportive measures like the use of Feliway (a synthetic calming pheromone spray), keeping them in a quiet location for photos, or potentially exploring the idea of some relaxing medication with your regular vet - they might be a candidate to be included on your special day! If you are wondering if your cat is suited, or have any questions regarding the logistics of having them attend - get in touch to discuss with me and get a vet nurses perspective. * . . #internationalcatday #theweddingsittervic #catsatweddings See more

17.01.2022 Willow How gorgeous does Miss Willow look in her custom @giddingsgifts Dog of Honour collar!? She was an absolute superstar at her mum and dads wedding yesterday - for an anxious rescue pup she was remarkably relaxed (I think the cheese bribery may have worked!) . . . Whatever your idea with wedding attire - chat to us! We include this in your package price and can find something unique to fit your pets with your colour palette ... . . . It was a pleasure chaperoning this sweet girl - a huge congratulations to Katelyn & Luke on tying the knot #theweddingsittervic See more

17.01.2022 Kaylee & Hugo These two were honorary members of their Mum and Dads bridal party for their wedding on Saturday. A ceremony heartfelt and unique, brought to life beautifully by @jacthehitcher down at Murgheboluc Hall. . . . Parents Tatum & Matt coincided their wedding with the launch party of their new business @true_romance_photobooth - a 1958 Globetrotter caravan they have lovingly restored to offer something completely different to anything else on the events scene!... . . . A huge congrats to the happy couple, we were so happy to chaperone your two babies! #theweddingsittervic See more

16.01.2022 Behind The Scenes What do we do while we’re waiting for our time to shine? Well, there’s plenty of things we’re doing behind the scenes!... When this photo was taken, Peppa and Chuck had worked up a sweat looking so amazing standing with me at the altar during the ceremony, they were ready for a big drink and some juicy chicken to snack on. We went for a walk to reset, around the gorgeous @harvestermoon grounds next to the vineyard, had a toilet break in some trees (poo bags on hand, of course!) and got plenty of pats and adoring sounds from the wedding guests. We sat back in the shade and watched @love.and.other work their magic behind the camera for the formal portraits (while the pups tried their best to steal some lollies from the unsuspecting flower girls and page boys) We then had a little practice of our best sitting poses and puppy dogs eyes (with some more chicken as bribery of course!) before our photoshoot. Peppa and Chuck had the time of their lives; Alex and I loved being their dedicated chaperones, catering to their every whim with a smile on our faces! . .

14.01.2022 I stand in solidarity with all women. This movement started in response to Pinar Gltekin, a 27 year old Turkish woman who went missing. It was found she was a victim of domestic violence and was brutally murdered. "Turkish people wake up every day to see a black and white photo of a woman who has been murdered on their Instagram feed, on their newspapers, on their TV screens. ... "The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture that is plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter on top." Let us remember those that have been lost to violence and femicide - we must support our sisters. We must be each others allies. Lets use this chain to bring awareness and discuss these issues, while at the same time being thankful and celebrating the amazing women that show each other support - in both our personal and professional lives. The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up - Serena Williams When women support each other, incredible things happen. #challengeaccepted #pinargltekin #womensupportingwomen If you or someone you care about is living with family violence please call safe steps 24/7 Family Violence Response Line on 1800 015 188 or visit www.safesteps.org.au for further information.

As it turns out, Kevin and I have met before, he is one of the newest patients at my clinic and he made quite the impression on all of the staff during his vaccination visit (there are big smiles under the mask in that last photo!)... Kevin has been working hard on his training and can already sit, drop, roll over, shake hands and look!

06.01.2022 ? I often have couples approach me with not much idea of how to involve their fur babies, or if their pets will cope with all of the madness on the wedding day! So Ive decided to do a series of posts dedicated to highlighting popular ways your pets can join in. . Best Dog, Dog of Honour, Groomsdog, Bridesdog, Ring Barer, or Flower Dog - let your imagination take over! Have your dog stand at the altar... and be a witness to you both saying your vows and having your very first kiss as a married couple. To really make them look the part; have them dressed in a matching tuxedo collar or flower collar to the human bridal party ( ). Dont forget to have someone on standby to take them away for a quick wee-walk, or for some time out if the festivities get too much ( , , !)
