Friendly, trustworthy dog sitter

Chris was brilliant looking after Dougal throughout our wedding weekend. She did a fantastic job of making sure Dougal got to schmooze with the guests, but ensuring he was happy throughout. It was really great being able to have Dougal at our wedding but without having to worry about him. Dougal also LOVED Chris - so much so he tried to follow her when she dropped him back on the Sunday. High praise indeed! Cannot recommend Chris enough! xxx

Wonderful experience

I asked Chris to help look after our puppy when my partner and I got married in December. I had arranged the visit to our venue as a surprise for my husband and it was a lovely addition to our day.

We'd not left our puppy with anyone before, but Chris let me visit before hand and she was wonderful with him. Receiving photos of our sleepy, happy pup gave us such confidence that he was in good hands with Chris overnight.

Would definitely recommend, thank you, Chris!

The best doggy wedding day care service

Chris provided an excellent service, enabling our beloved dog Hugo to attend our wedding. She was super helpful and even cared for Hugo overnight. We cannot thank her enough for taking such special care of Hugo. We had complete peace of mind that he was in very good hands.

A fantastic service

We really wanted our puppies with us on our wedding day and came across Chris at short legs, and how pleased we were! She brought them to the wedding dressed and kept them entertained during photos and nothing was too much trouble! The main thing for us was that we wanted someone we could trust with our dogs and Chris was that person. Thanks again!

The most perfect person to have our fur baby!

We used Chris for our wedding two weeks ago to look after our Cockapoo Tilly. I actually organised Chris to bring Tilly to our wedding as a surprise for my now husband. Chris was amazing in helping with all of this. Tilly is our baby as I’m sure many peoples dogs are and I had never left her with someone that wasn’t close family or friends so I was so so nervous about leaving her with someone. I went to visit Chris and her home before Tilly went for her stay there and I knew instantly Chris was the right person to have her. You can tell instantly her love for dogs and I knew Tilly would be in perfectly capable hands. Tilly was exhausted when she came home after her stay so she must of had the best time! Couldn’t recommend Chris enough, thank you so so much x

Fantastic - wholly recommended!

Chris was fantastic - from booking to arranging Lola's collection/drop off and Lola's needs and comfort on the day. Chris made sure that Lola was happy at all times and that Lola was always ready to be in our photos. She also took Lola home with her overnight whilst we partied and it was pure peace of mind that Lola was being well-cared for. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Amazing wedding day dog care!

Chris was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! Chris and I had a chat by phone a few weeks before the wedding and I went through timings and my requirements with her. She was really friendly and put my mind at ease. On the day she bonded with our dog super quickly, so much so that he was immediately compliant and did everything she asked! Chris made sure Rudy was present at all the key aspects of the day (ceremony, photos) yet also made sure that our dogs well-being was number one priority. My husband and I both agreed that this was one of the best investments we made for our wedding! Thank you!

Wedding Dog

Hi Chris,

How are you? I just wanted to pop you a quick email to say thank you SO much for looking after Jasper for us on our big day last week. You were so brilliant with him and clearly made him feel very comfortable and at-ease around you, and it made our day so much more relaxing to know that he was in safe hands and not needing to worry about him. He has been totally wiped out since the day - clearly too much excitement!

When we get our photos back from Richard, I'll be sure to send you over any good one of Jasp with (or without!) us.

Wishing you all the best,

Thanks so much again.

Mel & Billy 😊 x

Wedding doggy care

Chris looked after our fur baby for our wedding. She bought him along in the cold for some pictures & then took him home again and cared for him until we collected him the next day. very professional and friendly from first contact and we could see how comfortable and relaxed our boy had been made to feel in her home. it was such a relief for us as he has never spent a night away unless he’s with our family. i would 100% recommend Chris for your wedding day. i can’t begin to explain the relief we felt after meeting via Zoom- we just new that our boy would be well looked after. Thank you so so much! ♥️

Thank you!

Chris provided care for our two dogs on our wedding day. She was really friendly and helpful, came in with no fuss and whisked our pups away for the evening. Nothing seemed like too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris for anyone who needs a wedding chaperone or care for their dog. Thank you so much again x

Thank you so much for all your help on the day, and for staying on until the end of our celebrations! We really do appreciate it, and it certainly took all our worry about how the pups were getting on and allowing us to just enjoy the evening...

Bella

Chris at Short Legs dog walking was absolutely fantastic, and got our slightly mad puppy to pose perfectly during the wedding photos (thanks to the treats Chris bought with her!) Thank you for helping us with sorting Bella for the photos- and looking after her while everyone said hello.

Sounds like Bella very much enjoyed the night stay with Chris and your dog and I can't recommend your service enough- every dog owner should have their pet at their wedding and know they are being cared for while the party carrys on! Thank you!
