💚 MEET THE TEAM 💚
Lots of new faces have joined us recently, so let's start the year with a little "get to know" all of our pet care providers, so you know who your companions next friend will be 🥰
🐾 Lizzy: I started Teall 'n' Tails in April 2023. As cliché as it sounds, animals really are my life.
I am a bit of an all rounder! Dog training, walking, pet pop ins, some pet sitting and the person you'll be chatting to when you contact us 😃
I pride myself on bringing a lot of experience and qualifications to the team, including:
Being a DTC dog trainer, canine reactivity specialist, animal care, equine management, pet first aid, brachycephalic first aid, dog law, enrichment and more! I love expanding my knowledge and currently still doing so! 🐶🐾
I've worked with rescues and sanctuaries around the UK for the last 7 or so years, co-ordinating rescues, veterinary treatment and homes for a variety of animals - from cats and dogs, to sheep and pigs! I have a huge passion for rescuing and it's no secret that I'm very outspoken when it comes to the animals - I will always be your companions biggest advocate. With this passion for rescue, I also donate my training services to the foster dogs at Mika's Mutts Dog Rescue and offer discounted training services for their dogs within their first year of a new home! 🐾
The vast majority of my working life has been spent with animals - mostly horses. From grooming to managing yards, I've dabbled in most things!
I have my own little family of animals 🥰 Odi - our cane corso rescue pup, Tilly, a Teall family doggo that made her home with us after the heartbreaking loss of her dad, then the horses (all 2.5 of them!), Thor, Domino and Doris - my pride and joys 🐴🥰
In 2024, we heartbreakingly lost 2 of our furry family members - members who really did shape this business in one way or another. We lost our beautiful, big boy, Henry - a wonderful rescue cane corso with a very sad set of physical issues, resulting in a lot of reactive behaviour through pain - he pushed me to crack on with studies, so that I could help other doggos who struggled too. 🌈
And my wonderful "old man spaniel", our beautiful logo dog and eternal face of our company, Joey. Joey is the reason I set up Teall 'n' Tails.. he had many, many needs and I wanted to ensure we give the same care that I'd expect for my beautiful boy. Without Joey, there wouldn't have been a Teall 'n' Tails 🌈
🐾 Jess: Jess joined the team in January 2024 and booked up super fast!
I've known Jess since we were teens and met through animals! She has many years of animal care experience under her belt, from looking after companion animals, to volunteering at the local riding for the disabled centre.
Jess is pet first aid qualified and also offers equine services 🐴
She has a whole bunch of animals! Let's start from the beginning...😅 6 cats - Garfield, Socks, Honey, Spencer, Buttons and Pickles; 2 sheep - Stilton and Bertie; Tommy the tortoise; and her 2 mares - Mollie and Millie 🥰 she's pictured with her beautiful girly, Moe, who joined the rainbow bridge herd in 2024 🌈
🐾 Lisa: Lisa joined us in January 2024 and brought a wealth of experience with her! She's been professionally pet sitting since 2013 all over the world. She started in the Carribbean and ended up working in Tortola, New Zealand, Canada and the UK!
Whilst travelling, Lisa: managed a vet clinic; assisted with surgeries; worked alongside the Humane Society and PAWs to trap, neuter and rehome strays; volunteered with Animals SOS Sri Lanka, managing a sanctuary with 4 others, caring for 1500 dogs, many of them disabled, and 100 cats; volunteered at Animals Fiji, working on a low cost veterinary clinic; and just to top it off, she's pet first aid qualified.
It safe to say she's experienced!
Lisa still has overseas pet sitting clients, so she covers pet sits with us when she's in the UK and able!
🐾 Claire: Claire is a RCVS nurse, with over 20 years experience in practices. The majority of her work has been in emergency care, but she has also worked in multiple different settings, from charity Trap, Neuter, Release projects in Spain, Malaysia and India, to referral practices in Canada and the UK.
I absolutely love Claire's ethos when it comes to animals experiences - she believes passionately in animal-led care. Claire is our chief nail trimmer and has had success in helping clients to not only feel more confident in clipping their own animals nails, but she has helped animals to have a more positive, enjoyable experience too. She also covers some ad-hoc walking and pop in work 🙏
🐾 Tiff: Tiff does a little bit of everything in the Faversham area! Dog walking, pop ins, some pet sitting, reptile care and she excels in equine care. Having a whole menagerie of animals herself - 8 horses and 3 dogs - I think it's safe to say she loves being around animals!
She has a level 2 and 3 diploma in equine management and has spent the last 24 years working with and caring for horses and has a real passion for providing only the very best of care 👌
She has an absolute abundance of experience! Having cared for dogs, horses, birds, hedgehogs, snakes, rabbits and hamsters, she's a fabulous addition to our team! 🐾
Combined, we have decades and decades of experience and more experience, love and compassion than you could ever ask for! 🥰 We do this job because we genuinely love animals.
All of our team are insured, pet first aid qualified and DBS checked ✔️
