"Hey I'm Rachel, the founder and director of Silly Wagz Bridal Pups!
I am a driven business owner with a passion for creating a positive working environment where we make sure your fur-babies are involved in your special day, stress free!
I am an experienced dog handler and have for many years been working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments.
I have completed my Animal First Aid course and in recent years I have been 2IC and a step-in manager at a wonderful daycare in Geelong! This allowed me to experience a wide range of temperaments and how to best handle each dog's individual needs.
I have a passion for making you and your pup’s special day run as smoothly as possible.
I know how important it can be to include your fur-baby in your wedding, so it is always my goal to make this happen.
I love seeing the bond between owners and their dogs and can't imagine doing anything else with my time!

"Hey! I’m Tobi and I’m a full time student at Deakin studying a Bachelor of Zoology and Animal Science. I grew up with lots of animals and have a big passion for all of my furry friends. I have a Certificate in Animal Studies and am also certified in animal first-aid and CPR. I enjoy painting, hiking, and spending time with family and friends. I can’t wait to be a part of your special day!"

I’m currently studying a Bachelor’s degree of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience to peruse a career as a veterinarian.
In my spare time, I also work as a dog sitter/walker meaning I have a lot of experience with a range of different pets and their personalities.
