Short Legs Dog Care is the award-winning dog chaperone service that is guaranteed to take the worry out of planning every dog lover’s big day. We will take care of your four-legged friend before, during and after your ceremony, and accompany them in as much (or as little) of the day as you desire. From a cute companion in your wedding photos to a canine ring-bearer in the ceremony, we are on hand to make sure the most important member of your family is relaxed, happy and as excited about the occasion as you are. And if your dream is to promote your pooch to Hound-of-Honour or even Best Dog – no problem!

 

 

We offer personal, bespoke packages because we know every dog is different. We are experienced at getting your beloved pet looking picture perfect - working alongside your chosen photographer; and happily, keep them company for as long as you need at your chosen venue and later in dog-friendly accommodation. Our service on the day will match your dog’s needs and personality, and we will take care of everything from walks and meals to company and countless cuddles along the way!

TESTIMONIALS

 

Highly recommend!

Chris is wonderful and I would highly recommend booking her! We asked Chris to
look after our dog at home during our wedding day, and then pop over with them for
photos in the afternoon. She was amazing throughout, great communication
beforehand and so lovely too. She did an amazing job in making our dog (and us)
feel relaxed and comfortable, and we could tell they'd had a lovely day together!

Chris is a real pro; she is trustworthy, considerate, patient, and truly loves what she
does. Thank you so much for everything Chris, it was such a special moment to be
able to have wedding photos with our little fur baby and it wouldn't have been
possible

Amazing supplier!!

We cannot express enough gratitude for Shortlegs dog care and the incredible
service as our dog chaperone on our wedding day. It was essential for us that our
furry family member be a part of our special day, and Shortlegs made that possible
beyond our expectations. Our dog was exceptionally well cared for throughout the
entire day, allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration without any worries. Shortlegs
not only ensured our dog's comfort but also took the initiative to introduce him to all
of our guests, which added such a heartwarming touch to our day. We are
immensely grateful for the dedication and care, and we highly recommend this
service to any pet-loving couples out there.

Incredible dog sitting service on our wedding day

What an incredible service Chris offers. Nothing was too much and communication
was brilliant. If it wasn't for Short Legs Dog Care, our dog wouldn't have been part of
our incredible day.

Chris knew exactly what to do on the day and it was so seamless. We had a
wedding card on the table when we arrived back and she even took photos of us on
the day which was lovely as we had no idea and they've turned out great! We also
had photos of our dog during the evening where she looked totally relaxed.

I highly recommend using Short Leg Dog Care for anyone looking to have their pet

The BEST dog chaperone in the Cotswolds!

We cannot express how grateful we are to Chris for looking after Poppy on our big
day. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. Chris was excellent from start to
finish; pre-communication was great, we were fully informed of the process and
pricing from the start, and Chris kindly arranged to meet Poppy beforehand to make
sure we were comfortable with everything.

On the day itself, Chris generously picked Poppy up from a family home and later
took her to the venue, which took the transport hassle away from us (she also
dropped Poppy back off after the wedding)! During the ceremony, Chris seamlessly
blended in with the guests and made the entire experience totally stress free for us!

Everyone loved having Poppy there, which wouldn't have been possible without you
Chris, so THANK YOU!

We wholeheartedly recommend Short Legs to anyone looking for a dog chaperone
for their wedding. If you want your furry friend to celebrate your big day with you, and
if you want to ensure they are in the best possible hands, then Short Legs is the way
to go.

Thank you for everything, Chris!

Excellent!

Chris at Short Logs Dog Care made it so easy for us to have our dog Bonnie with us
on our wedding day. She was very communicative from the minute we booked her
and it made us feel so comfortable that we were leaving Bonnie in good hands. On
the day, Chris was so good with Bonnie and Bonnie absolutely loved her!! We were
able to have Bonnie in so many wonderful wedding photos and it’s all because of
Chris. We can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone who wants
their furry friend with them on their big day!

Perfect 5* service from Short Legs Dog Care

Chris and Trish at Short Legs Dog Care were absolutely fantastic from start to finish
and nothing was too much trouble. From the initial call to discuss our dog and his
requirements followed by their attention to detail on the wedding day itself,
everything was just perfectly organised and managed by them. We would 100% look
to recommend Chris and Trish to friends and family thinking of having their dog
present on their wedding day. They are both lovely people and it was a pleasure having them involved with our wedding celebration. Look no further than Short Legs Dog Care!

Amazing service, amazing team

I didn't even realise a dog chaperone was something we needed at our wedding but
having the Short Legs team was a godsend. Our pup was looked after by Trish and
we couldn't have asked for more. Our dog has 3 legs and Trish was so on the ball
with checking her energy levels and making sure she was safe considering it was
also a hot day. She was so flexible with her feeding time and made sure she was
happy and settled off site before leaving her. We would book with Short Legs again
in a heartbeat if ever needed.

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!
