About

I’m Tash, the human behind Thistle & Tails Pet Services, and I’m on a mission to make life a little easier for pets and the people who love them. After 15 years working in the domestic and sexual abuse sector, I took a leap out of the corporate world to build a business around what I care about most: animals, relationships and making a genuine difference. I specialise in calm, thoughtful, relationship-led care, with a particular soft spot for anxious, sensitive and misunderstood pets. Whether it’s a solo dog walk, a drop-in visit or caring for your cats while you’re away, I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, understood and loved - never just another booking in the diary. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, canine first aid trained and continually developing my knowledge because your pets deserve someone who takes their care seriously. Outside of work, I’m usually covered in dog hair, talking to animals, baking something indulgent or cheering on Scotland rugby with my wife. Big heart, muddy boots, questionable language. That’s me. 💜
