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.

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!!

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!

Simply amazing!
Our dog, Pip, is so very
important to us and she
loved Chris from the
moment she arrived on our
wedding day.
Pip had been a little
unsettled on the morning of
the wedding as there were
lots of people and, of course,
nervous energy, but as soon
as Chris arrived she relaxed
completely.
Both my husband and I felt
so happy knowing that Chris
was with her and that she
was safe and looked after at
every step throughout the
day.
Pip was part of our
ceremony, in our pictures
and able to say hello to all
our guests (which she
loved!). She could also go
back to our room with Chris
for some quiet time
whenever she needed it.
I‘m so glad we found Chris,
she was simply fantastic and
made our day even more
special!

What an absolute gem it was
to find Chris for our special
day! We knew when we
started planning our
wedding that we wanted
Oscar, our goldendoodle, to
attend our wedding but we
were unsure in what
capacity. I found Chris
through an Instagram post
and am so glad that I did!!
Chris picked Oscar up on the
morning of our wedding,
took him to her house to get
him used to the new
surroundings and then
returned with him for the
wedding reception where
they mingled with guests and
Oscar waited his turn
patiently for photos.
Everyone loved chatting to
Chris on the day and thought
that she was one of the
guests! Oscar had a great
day with Chris and I had
complete peace of mind that
he was well looked after.
Chris even sent a photo to
my mum in the evening of
Oscar enjoying cuddles in
front of the TV to assure me
he was ok. We really cannot
thank you enough for
enabling Oscar to be a part
of our special day - I would
thoroughly recommend
booking with Chris! Thank
you so much!

Fantastic service that
enabled our 2 Samoyeds to
be part of our special day
We were so pleased and
lucky to find such a fantastic,
professional yet personable
service as Chris provided us
with.
We wanted our 2 Samoyeds
to be able to be at our
wedding for some of our
wedding but not for the
whole event. Chris collected
them from where we were
staying in the morning and
looked after them for the
whole day, bringing them to
the wedding for when we
had agreed. They had a great
day and we were given
complete peace of mind that
they were being well looked
after so were able to just
relax and enjoy the day
knowing they were in good
hands. They were so
comfortable with Chris and
she was great with them,
even our rescue who
struggles with anxiety.
100% recommended Short
Legs and Chris!

Short legs dog care was the
cherry on top!
We couldn't have asked for a
lovelier person to look after
our fur baby on our magical
day! Chris was absolutely
fantastic from the minute go
- offering warmth and
support through the initial
planning stages right up to
our special day.
On the day, our Nervous
pooch was so settled with
Chris. We were very
fortunate with the weather
on our day, it was the hottest
day in August and Chris was
right at hand with ensuring
our pup could still participate
safely. Chris ensured Nelly
had access to plenty of
water, shade and comfort.
We honestly can't thank you
enough Chris, you really were
the cherry on top and we
feel so fortunate that you
were a part of our wedding
story.

Review from Maple & Fig
Thank you so much to Chris
for looking after our dogs
Maple & Fig on our wedding
day ❤️ Chris, you were
amazing, I could tell straight
away when I saw you with
the girls how comfortable
they felt with you, and it
means the world to us to
have been able to leave
them with someone we
100% trusted. And the fact
we have wedding photos
where they are both looking
at the camera is down to you
- thank you! You put Maple &
Fig above all else on the day
to keep them as calm as
possible in what was a
stressful situation for them.
Your communication,
helpfulness and care was
amazing - highly
recommended!
Thank you again.

So glad we had Chris there
on our wedding day
We knew from our
consultation call with Chris
that she was passionate
about what she does and
would be the perfect person
to look after our cavapoo -
he's never been left with
anyone that isn't family
before and can be quite
nervous, but we were
confident that Chris would
win him over, and we were
right :)
She looked after both our
dog and my mother-in-law's
dog all day and evening for
12 hours, giving them a good
mix of fun, walks and chill
time. Chris brought our boy
out to see us during our
drinks reception and our
guests thought she must
look after him regularly as he
was glued to her and
seemed to have a very
natural rapport. You can see
she has a real affinity with
animals and it really helped
us relax on the day knowing
the dogs were safe, well-
cared for and happy.
Thank you Chris!

Best decision, worth every
penny!
We found Chris through our
venues recommended
suppliers and we are so glad
we did, what a find ! Chris
looked after Barney during
the day of our wedding and
had him into the evening
with Barney being dropped
back off to the venue the day
after. She was absolutely
fantastic with Barney and he
felt so comfortable with her,
which is how we knew we
had made the right choice!!!
It enabled us to relax
knowing he was well looked
after and also involved in our
wedding as this was very
important to us! Chris helped
out with our wedding photos
and managed to get Barney
looking at the camera. I
absolutely recommend Chris,
she is clearly an animal lover
and looks after your dog as if
they are her own. Thank you
Chris.

Best Decision of our
Wedding Day
Christine at Short Legs Dog
Care was the ultimate
professional when it came to
being our Dog Chaperone for
our Wedding Day. Christine
ensured our 2-year-old
Golden Retriever Riley was
walked and thoroughly
exercised before his starring
moment as our ring bearer -
which ensured he was not
over-excited, all the extra
energy had been expended
and Riley executed his task
brilliantly, and stole the
show! Chris then took charge
and ensured Riley was
looked after for the entire
duration of our day - putting
our minds at rest, ensuring
both ourselves and our
guest were free to enjoy
ourselves. Riley was
completely at home with her,
and trusted her implicitly, it
was a joy to witness, and
many of our guests
commented on how well our
dog was behaved. We whole
heartedly recommend
Christine as a trusted
companion for your four-
legged family, it's a wonderful
experience to have your
dogs with you on your
Wedding day - the photos
with our Golden Retriever
Riley, and the footage of him
walking down the isle are
some of our most precious
memories.

Perfection!
Wow, where do we begin! Chris was simply perfect and took the best care of Honey for us
before, during and after our special day. She was so kind, welcoming and friendly and we
knew that Honey was well looked after whilst in Chris’ care. Chris made sure that Honey was
able to be a part of our day and took away any stress or worries we had - we cannot
recommend her services enough! Thank you again Chris, you are simply superb!
