Stacey Sent on 04/05/2025Calm, Paw-fessional and Kind
We couldn't have asked for a better dog chaperone for Amber our show cocker spaniel on our wedding day.
From our initial call with Chris it's so clear she's so kind, gentle, professional and cares deepening about your dogs needs.
Chris handled Amber on the day with such care and ease, making sure she was comfortable and happy - as well as perfectly on schedule for her ring bearer duties. She got Amber prepped, calm and fed - before adding her flower collar and rings for her ring bearing duties. Thanks for making her look amazing!
She was flexible on the day, helping with photos and taking Amber around to our guests and accommodating when we wanted Amber to be with us too. Spotting when she needed water and a quick toilet.
What truly stood out was how personable and warm Chris was with us, our dog and our guests too.
Our guests commented how great she was and they assumed she was a family/friend because of how well she handled Amber and how Amber settled with her through the whole day.
Chris had even messaged beforehand to ask what our bridal party were wearing so she'd fit in - she was dressed impeccably as well as having a stash of her own treats for Amber (which she had checked on our initial call about any dietary needs).
Chris took Amber back to our Airbnb and stayed there into the evening with Amber-pup and a few days later sent us pics of Amber enjoying their time together (Amber of course snoozing!). Chris closed blinds in our Airbnb for us ahead of us returning, left notes and was just fab - so thoughtful and respectful!
With thanks to her help, we were able to fully enjoy her day knowing that our furry family member was in the best hands.
We really recommend Chris and her kind nature - she's fantastic!Short Legs Dog Care's reply:
What can I say James and Stacey!! Amber was an absolute star and you were both so relaxed about her being with you during the ceremony it was a real treat. She was a delight to look after and to spend the day with I couldn't have wished for more. The photos reflect what a fantastic day you had and how lovely all of your family and guests were. I would also mention the joy of working with the other suppliers, Marcello and Fiona of CotswoldVWWeddings as well as the pleasure of getting to be at Ivy Lodge for the first time. It truly was an amazing wedding. -

Chris was amazing from our first conversations we knew she was the best person to look after our Loki. From the moment she arrived on the morning of our wedding, she was brilliant. During our initial conversations, we had pre warned Chris that Loki is a very anxious dog and doesn't tend to cope too well with lots of people. On the day, we decided it was probably best for the dog that he didn't join us at our reception. We are so glad that we booked with Chris and highly recommend her 😊 -

The best dog chaperone we could have asked for!
We hired Chris from Short Legs Dog Care to chaperone our sprocker spaniel Arnie on our wedding day at Old Gore, and she was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We booked her almost two years ago, and from our very first conversation, we knew she was the perfect person to look after our little man. You truly cannot put a price on the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is being cared for by someone so kind, professional, and trustworthy.
Chris collected Arnie from my husband’s hotel on the morning of the wedding and brought him safely to the venue. She looked after him throughout the day, keeping him happy and comfortable while we had our photographs taken and enjoyed the celebrations. She was so calm and caring with him, which meant we could completely relax and enjoy every moment of our day knowing he was in the best hands.
That evening, she took Arnie back to her home, looked after him overnight, and even stored his food for us while we were away on our mini moon. The following morning, she dropped him back to our hotel with a big smile and such warmth and kindness.
Chris is just the loveliest person and an absolute professional. We are so grateful for her help, her support, and the genuine care she showed for Arnie. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone dependable and wonderful to care for their dog on such an important day. She really went above and beyond in every way. -

Trish was more than happy to meet up locally before the wedding to meet Ali to get to know her and what a lovely lady! Not only did she make having our Ali part of the wedding, she made it stress free and was fabulous at making sure Ali was around for photos and posed where the photographer wanted her. Trish came with plenty of treats and Ali was fixated on her the whole time! Perfect!! A huge thank you ❤️ -

Great service looking after after our precious boy on our big day
We loved how relaxed and confident Chris was with our dog, Dougie. As a Rottweiler, he can sometimes make people nervous, so we’re always a little anxious when introducing him to someone new. But Chris was more than happy to meet him ahead of the wedding, and her calm, reassuring presence made an instant impression — Dougie took to her straight away. Nothing was too much trouble, and she completely took the worry out of making sure he was cared for on the day. We couldn’t have asked for more. -

Our Dreams Came True 🐾
Short Legs Dog Care is the most wonderful double act and we're so lucky that we were able to work with both Chris and Trish for our wedding 💕
From the moment I first spoke to Chris, she was so friendly and made the booking process so smooth and simple. She responds so promptly and no question was ever too much trouble 😁 Then, on our wedding day we had Trish.
Trish, you made our dreams come true! Having Gerald there for our wedding was exactly what we wanted, seeing his cute little face totter down the aisle with our wedding rings just melted our hearts. I honestly cannot fault your service, you're utterly brilliant. I know Gerald loved you too, he's known for being very stubborn, but you clearly put him at ease and gave him a magical day ✨️ and to top it off, you're just such a lovely person too ❤️

Marco Sent on 18/07/2025Best dog chaperone!
Trish was absolutely amazing! Our little Cavapoo pup Chloe accompanied us to our Airbnb over our wedding weekend. Unfortunately, Chloe preferred to sit or follow me around due to feeling unsettled in a new space with so many people coming and going, but Trish kept a steady eye on her luring her away with delicious chicken/ cheese if we needed space for whatever reason. She offered my guests and bridal party drinks and food I had set out while we were having hair and makeup done!
She dressed our pup up and brought her to the venue for the photos, walked her, fed her, played with her and took gorgeous pictures for us. We were delayed in getting back due to vendors taking longer than anticipated to pack up, but Trish took it in her stride.
Would highly recommend Trish, she goes above and beyond and our pup was completely at ease with her! -

Tom Sent on 12/07/2025Chris was absolutely amazing! 🌟
We had the pleasure of having Chris as our wedding doggy chaperone and she did a brilliant job with our dog, Teddy. She was friendly, professional, and clearly experienced. Our dog Teddy is a very lively cockapoo and Chris did an amazing job at looking after him on the day, with plenty of treats to hand as well!
Chris was very responsive in the lead up to the wedding and helped put our minds at ease, knowing that our Teddy would be well looked after on the big day.
Chris even stuck around patiently at the venue when we accidentally locked ourselves out of our room, which we really appreciated. She went above and beyond to help keep things smooth and stress-free.
Thanks again, Chris—it was lovely having you there on the day! ⭐️Short Legs Dog Care's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your special day and to look after lovely Teddy , I am so glad I could help make things a little easier for you both, and I am thrilled to hear you felt reassured knowing he was in good hands.
Thank you again for having me there—it truly was a joy to be part of such a beautiful celebration. Wishing you and Teddy all the very best for your future together!
