    The best thing we did for our big day

    Chris was absolutely lovely! We knew from the day we started planning our wedding that we wanted our dog Reg there and Chris was the perfect solution. She was absolutely brilliant with Reg and took such great care of him. She was patient and kind even though he was a bit out of sorts all day. Worth every single penny in my opinion. Thank you for being such an important part of our day ❤️

    One of the best things we did for our wedding!

    We always knew we wanted our two dogs at the wedding, they do everything with our family and so it wouldn't have been right to get married without them. Chris was recommended through our venue and she was perfect from start to finish. Great communication and knowledge right from the start so we felt very comfortable leaving our rather needy dogs with her. Chris worked a long day, 12 hours, dashing back and forth between our hotel and wedding venue just so we could have the dogs at the parts of the wedding we wanted. They were always on time and dressed in their little outfits. The rest of the time they had a wonderful time chilling at the hotel all together. We couldn't be more grateful to Chris - highly recommend!

    What a joy these two little dogs were. We had a lovely day and they did so well. Little Millie managed well and Nugget was a star. They were such a pleasure to look after and behaved so well. I hope the photos are amazing. Thank you for booking me and for trusting me with these two special little dogs. Chris

    Fantastic Professional Dog Chaperone!

    Chris was our chaperone for our two fur babies on our wedding day! Knowing our dogs were in safe hands ensured we could relax and enjoy our special day, without any stress or worries. We wanted our dogs to play a part in our wedding, as ring bearer, greeting all of our guests, and having them there for photos. Having Chris there ensured all of that could happen. The dogs reacted so well to Chris, instantly warming to her friendly and kind nature. Chris sent us some behind the scenes photos of our dogs sleeping on her lap, which they'd only ever do if they were calm. I can't recommend Chris enough for your big day, she is the best! Thank you Chris!

    Short Legs Dog Care's reply:

    Thank you so much for leaving this glowing review, it means the world to us and our business. The dogs were brilliant, we had fun during the wedding and drinks. Your family and friends were lovely and enjoyed seeing the dogs involved in the day. Thank you for booking my services and trusting me with these two special fur babies. I loved the cuddles. Chris

    Exceptional service. Stress free

    From the 1st communication Chris was great. Went over and above to make sure everything was stress free. Had a detailed meeting beforehand to make sure she knew every little detail. Extremely good around dogs and can tell she genuinely loves dogs. Would highly recommend!

    Incredible!

    Chris was recommended to us by our venue, and from our first meeting via a Zoom call we knew we had made the right choice. She helped put all of our worries at ease regarding involving our dog in our special day, was professional, caring, and knowledgeable, looked after him like he was her own, and was instrumental in him being the ringbearer during the ceremony. We cannot thank you enough for all of your help.

    Oh Sara and Deke, what a pleasure it was to look after Opie on your wedding day. He did so well having only arrived in the UK a few weeks prior to the day. He is such a lovely dog and was amazing in the photographs and with your family and friends. We had a lovely day together. Thank you for booking my services and for taking the tto leave such a great review. This is greatly appreciated. Chris

    Friendly, knowledgeable and stress free

    Trish and Chris took on our last minute request to help us with our puppy at our wedding. Trish called before and was so knowledgeable on how it could work on the day + outfits and ring boxes.

    Trish then did everything we asked with no questions/ fuss - which was so so appreciated with everything that was going on. He was so happy on the day, getting lots of walks when we may not have had a time and lots of fuss. She even got him to sit for the photos, even though bells were going and lots of talking- which meant he couldn't hear us talking to him...

    Thoroughly recommend this, we debated whether to have a chaperone but it truly transformed the day to see him as I turned up at the church really out me at ease, I love the photos with him in, and didn't worry about him once!

    Short Legs Dog Care's reply:

    We were so pleased we were able to assist you on the day as it was such short notice, we are so often already booked but luckily on this occasion we had the date free. Trish was great with Koda and we always love working alongside Zara Davis. Such a lovely day thank you for taking to the time to write a great review. Wishing you every happiness.

    The best dog chaperone for your wedding!

    We are so happy we booked with Short legs dog care for our wedding day. We really wanted to include our dog in our special day to share photos with us and we’re so happy to have found Short legs dog care.

    Chris was amazing throughout from calls, picking up our dog from the hotel we were staying at, boarding him at her house and bringing him to our venue.

    He had the best time and couldn’t recommend this supplier more for your big day!! Thank you

    Short Legs Dog Care's reply:

    Hi Hayleigh and Oliver
    Thank you so much for this review and for sharing the amazing photographs of you with Rolo. Becky Welford is brilliant and the pictures reflect that. I was a pleasure to bring Rolo to the Pear Tree, a venue we love. Plus it was such a beautiful day if a little too hot! Thank you again for booking our services.

    Great supplier!

    Having Chris as a dog chaperone for our special furry boy on our big day was such a great choice! She met with all of us before the big day to get to know her and run through our day and when would be ideal to have our dog involved.
    On the day she picked him up as agreed and coped amazingly even though he ended up being in a cone and having a booty to try and keep on for the day! We absolutely trusted our dog was in the right hands and very well looked after. Would highly recommend short legs to anyone who wants to involve their dog on their special day and have a trusted professional to look after them

    It was such a pleasure to bring Chester along on your big day. He did so well considering his situation. We managed to get the best out of him for the photographer which is what it is all about. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for booking our services.

    Looking after Milo on our wedding day

    My wife and I had Trish look after our dog Milo during our wedding day. Trish was simply fantastic - as can be expected our minds were elsewhere on the day and we weren't really even there to meet Trish properly - but she was so on top of everything this didn't matter! She handled Milo brilliantly and immediately made great friends with him on her walk - then coming to our wedding she was always respective and tried to blend in as much as possible but always made sure Milo was available for the many photos and ready to join us at the ceremony! Trish then took him back to our cottage and looked after him, sending regular photos and updates as well as staying late being really flexible.

    Would 100% recommend Trish and Short Legs Day care for your special day!

    Very professional, makes your big day easy

    Chris looked after two of our dogs at the Matara Centre last month for our wedding. She was great every step of the way, from organising and communicating before the wedding about the various needs of our dogs and our expectations to how well she worked with Matara and our Photographer Lee Hawley. We couldn't have made a better decision choosing Chris to look after our dogs, she kept them relaxed and reacted to their needs which gave us one less issue to worry about on our big day!
    Would most definitely recommend her services!

    Short Legs Dog Care's reply:

    Hi Lewis and Katie
    Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review we really appreciate it. The dogs were a pleasure to look after if totally different from one another. Wilma is such a gorgeous girl and did so well all day. Dougal was a lovely fella and enjoyed being around the family. We had a lovely time relaxing after all the excitement. thank you , again, for booking our services.
    Chris
