About me

Hi I’m Lill, the face behind Tarney’s Tails. My love for dogs goes way beyond just a job, they're truly family. That's why I started Tarney’s Tails, to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own.

When I'm not out walking dogs, you can find me paddle boarding on the lake, hiking in the fells, or just generally enjoying the great outdoors with my dog Charlie. I believe a happy dog is one that's well-exercised and loved, and I can't wait to bring that joy to your dog's day!

Why me?

  • 4 years experience
  • Fully insured
  • Fully police checked
  • Competitive prices
  • Professional and reliable

  • Home visits
  • Lots of care and attention
  • Feeding and medication if needed

“Lill was kind enough to provide a one-off pet sitting service for us at a holiday let in Patterdale. Lill arrived bang on time, our dogs immediately warmed to Lill. She clearly has the knack with dogs! Everything went smoothly and we even got a lovely photo update halfway through the day which was great for our peace of mind. Would recommend Lill to anyone for regular or one off services based on our experience!”

“I can't recommend Lily enough! We have used Lily consistently over the past year now since our dog was a couple of weeks old. From the very first time we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cared for dogs. My pup absolutely adores her-tail wagging and happy dances every time she sees Lily around the area. Not only does she make sure our dog gets plenty of exercise, but she also give her the love, attention, and patience that make all the difference.”

“I would highly recommend Tarney's Tails Lill looked after our dog Charlie whilst we were away overnight (walks & cuddles included)! From initial contact Lill was lovely to deal with and very professional. At the meet & greet Charlie was instantly at ease and we were very happy with the service, communication and photo update.”
