Meet the wedding dog chaperone who makes £2.5k-a-month by being a pooch plus one on couples' big day.
Olivia Thompson, 24, walked dogs for extra cash during her lunch break before going travelling in November last year.
When she came back she was figuring out what she wanted to do and discovered being around dogs made her happiest and she had an obsession with weddings.
Combining the two she launched her dog chaperone business - the Dog Lady - and has now attending four weddings as a pup's plus one – even walking a pup up the aisle.
Olivia is on hand to walk the dog beforehand, help with capturing pet photos and provide care for the dog during the wedding day.
She charges around £350 for the day and customises her service for each bride and groom.
Olivia makes up to £2.5k-a-month and is already getting bookings for next year.
