So glad we had Chris there on our wedding day

'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!

Perfect Dog Carer

Chris is a through and through dog lover, exactly the kind of person you want to leave your fur baby with! She relaxed us from the start and made us feel our boy was in the best hands, we didn’t have to worry about him for a minute. Our corgi adored her and we’re so grateful for all she did to support him through our special day!

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

Thank You

Good evening Chris, We just wanted to say another big thank you for looking after Dougal and bringing him to our wedding. It was wonderful to have him there and so lovely to see that he was happy to go back with you when it was time to go. We loved seeing the photos of him while he was at your house, and attached are some photos from the day we wanted to share with you. Thank you again
