What you'll do:

You bring the crowd. CuddlePups brings the dogs, the setup, and two professional hosts to run the whole thing. For two hours, 8 to 10 Italian Greyhounds roam freely among your guests in a calm, private setting your group has entirely to themselves. No shared space, no strangers, no background noise from another event.

• The dogs: Every session includes 8 to 10 Italian Greyhounds, a breed known for being gentle, lap-friendly, and calm around groups, making them well-suited for guests of all comfort levels with dogs.

• The hosts: Two professional CuddlePups staff run the session from start to finish, managing dog rotation, guest flow, and any questions so the organizer can actually enjoy the event.

• The setup: CuddlePups arrives with everything needed to create a lounge-style environment at your venue, including dog toys, treats, and a pop-up space designed to keep dogs and guests comfortable.

• The photos: Hosts take photos and videos on attendees' phones throughout the session, so your group leaves with real content, not just a memory.

• The rotation: For groups larger than 15, guests rotate in groups of 10 to 15 every 10 to 15 minutes, keeping the space calm and giving everyone close time with the dogs.

This is a fully managed private dog cuddle experience in Chicago that travels to your venue. Your guests get two hours of something they have never done at a work event or bachelorette weekend before.

Why we love it for your group:

• Zero coordination required: The CuddlePups team handles all logistics on-site, from unloading to wrap-up, so the event organizer has nothing to manage once they arrive.

• Works for any occasion: Bachelorette parties, birthday dinners, corporate team building, company retreats, and wellness days all book this regularly because it lands differently than a standard group activity.

• Built-in conversation starter: Dogs in the room change the social dynamic immediately. Guests who do not know each other start talking. Phones go down. The energy shifts within minutes.

• Private by default: Every booking is a private session. No other groups share your time, your space, or your dogs.

• Flexible add-ons: Groups can add a Paw-Secco Toast with the dogs or printed take-home photos for every guest, priced at $100 for up to 30 attendees or $200 for up to 60.
