As devoted collie owners ourselves, we intimately understand the unique joy and responsibility of pet parenthood. We know that each dog requires personalised attention, mental stimulation, and physical exercise tailored to their individual needs.
But life's unexpected moments—or once-in-a-lifetime celebrations like weddings [Reviews]—can create challenging situations for dedicated pet parents.
When we searched for occasional pet care services for our own dogs, we discovered a frustrating reality: most professional services require regular scheduling, while relying on friends and family isn't always possible or ideal.
Wedding days in particular presented a special challenge—how could couples include your beloved pet in your Scottish wedding celebration without burdening guests or missing out on precious moments?
Laura and Rab had Leo, their oldest Collie at their wedding in Austria and it definitely wasn't the best situation for anyone having Rab and Laura's Gran looking after him for the day.
This realisation sparked the creation of Solo Paws—a service specifically designed for those meaningful one-off occasions when your pet deserves professional attention.
"There are not enough positive things we could say about Laura and Solo Paws.
Thanks to you, we got to have our dog included in our wedding day, without the stress of worrying where she was or without having any of our guests needing to spend time babysitting her.
Our dog (Cleo) gets quite nervous with new people and new environments but Laura immediately made her feel comfortable and built a great relationship with her. Laura took amazing photos during the wedding day and sent them to us right after, she brought Cleo to the ceremony and reception and helped her mix with people and take part in the photos and had a brilliant day with her.
We don’t have kids so our dog is our baby and we were so calm and comfortable having Laura take care of Cleo. The care and attention and kindness she showed was simply fantastic.
Solo Paws was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding and it added so much to our whole experience. If you are considering booking Solo Paws, stop thinking and start booking, you will not regret it!" - Cain Clifford

"We had Laura looking after our dog of honour for our big day. This allowed us to have no worries, managing to get a run down the aisle and our dog for photos after the ceremony. I would recommend Laura if you need someone to look after your dog well stress free.
Also Great to receive photos from the day." - Amy Gornall

"I would 100% recommend Solo Paws. They were great with our little Wauzer on our wedding day.
He was a bit anxious and out of sorts as he hadn’t been in a different environment before but Solo Paws managed to look after him and keep him occupied at the hotel as well as bring him round for photos with us.
Thanks for all your help Laura and the team." - Kerry McMaster
