I absolutely love dogs and hence why I chose to work with them! I like to keep fit which bodes well for a job which consists of lots of walking! Even on my days off I will be at the gym or off walking somewhere. I like musicals and often go to the theatres to see shows with my partner. I probably have ruined a few Netflix account algorithms on my homestays with my very poor choice of tele!

We could not recommend Chuck Tails enough!

Our tri-pawd Peggy was in the safest of hands with Kirsty. From meeting her before the wedding Peggy was immediately at ease with Kirsty (mostly because of the treats) but you can also immediately tell She is incredibly experienced and loves what she does. She was amazing, making sure all of Peggy's needs were met and that she got from place to place safely at our city centre venues. It was an absolute highlight of the day being able to have Peggy with us and we didn't have to worry one bit

best choice we made!

What can I say other than if your debating a dog chaperone please don’t debate just do it, out of all the things we paid for at our wedding this one came out on top for the best choice we made! Kirsty was amazing with our husky Sylvie, it was huge day for her and so much going on but Kirsty took care of her and helped her settle, I don’t know where we would of been without you! We appreciate you more than you’ll ever know!

We can't thank Kirsty and Chuck tails enough.

She went over the plan in a message a few days before the wedding which reaassured us and her help on the day of the wedding was invaluable. Her help meant the dogs could be a part of our day as they are an important part of our family, whilst family and friends didn't have to take on the responsibility, Kirsty also made sure we got some cute photos with the dogs which we really wanted too, as well as helped coordinate the dogs being ring bearers during the ceremony.

Truly special to have to have those memories!

We booked Chuck Tails to look after our staffy, Lola on our wedding day. This was 100% one of the best decisions we made for our big day and I can honestly say that if having a dog chaperone is something you're debating upon, then do not hesitate as having our dog there on our big day was truly priceless and such a highlight of our day.

I think she might be a dog whisperer

Kirsty is so professional and organised, and I think she might be a dog whisperer - our dog has never been so well behaved and he was so disappointed when we got home and he was greeted with us instead of Kirsty, he absolutely loved her. You can tell that she truly loves dogs and what she does. She is first aid trained and fully insured which really put our mind at rest, and the pre service meeting she provided gave us so much reassurance before the big day.

Will put your dogs needs first.

Kirsty was brilliant with our bonkers cocker spaniel Alfie. Kirsty really puts your mind at ease at the pre wedding meeting when she comes to meet you and your dog. Its so reassuring the is pet first aid trained and has all the proper insurance. She asks all the right questions to reassure you she has everything covered on the day and will put your dogs needs first.

I didn’t have to worry for a second

Can’t thank Kirsty enough, she agreed to look after our girl on our big day with such short notice after being let down by someone else, and I couldn’t have asked for better! Bella can be a handful, but I didn’t have to worry for a second as Kirsty had her under control the whole time and made sure she was ready for the camera! Thankyou again so much for getting her there so we could have this lovely reminder

Couldn't have done the day without her

Couldn’t recommend Kirst any more! She was absolutely brilliant with my three dogs, they absolutely loved her and were instantly at ease with her! Every guest commented how amazing Kirst was with the dogs! We couldn’t have done the day without her, she made sure they had everything so we didn’t need to worry about them at all!

It was obvious Barnaby was Kirsty’s priority

We used Kirsty to look after and ‘chaperone’ our beagle Barnaby on our wedding day and I cannot put into words how amazing she was both in the lead up to and on our wedding day. When we met Kirsty you could see she was so understanding of all different types of dogs and quickly sussed out what Barnaby responded to best. it was obvious Barnaby was Kirsty’s first priority, who made sure that he was ok and if it was overwhelming she would take him off for some quiet time.
