About

Chris, a lifelong animal lover and dog owner, founded Short Legs Dog Care in 2017.  After years of experience working in the hospitality and wedding industry, she created Short Legs to ensure couples could enjoy their special occasions completely carefree — with their furry family member by their side.

In 2023, Chris was joined by fellow dog lover Trish, a friend and colleague of more than 20 years.  Trish brings a wealth of experience from the media industry, having worked as an events producer for national brands.

As demand has grown year on year, so too has Short Legs’ reputation.  Together Chris and Trish, along with other dog carers, now care for dogs at over 95 weddings annually, giving couples total peace of mind.  Not only do they truly know what they’re doing, but they care for every dog just as they would their own.

And don’t just take their word for it — glowing reviews from couples speak volumes about how special it was to have such an important member of their family included on their wedding day.
