Hi! A reminder to my lovely followers of who I am and what I do. I’m Jordan, an experienced pet professional in my 6th year of running my small business.

I find that pets are most content when they in the comfort of their own home.
I provide a pop-in visits for cats, small animals and exotic pets. I also provide a regular pop-in service and overnight sitting for dogs (in the dog’s own home). 🏡

My pet visits include (but not limited to) feeding, cleaning out litter trays/enclosures, medicating (if required) and plenty of fuss and attention.
I know that every pet is unique, so we can make a tailored care plan to suit them.

Some of my credentials:
🐾 Former Animal Warden
👩🏼‍🎓BSc (Hons) Applied Animal Science
✅Insured & DBS checked
❤️‍🩹Canine first aid trained

I will always put your pet’s wellbeing first and can guarantee trustworthy and reliable care.

If you believe I could be the right pet carer for you, I’d love to have a chat.
Thanks, Jordan 🐾

Hello pet parents, I’m back! 🐾

It’s been a while, so I think introductions are in order. I’m Jordan, the face (and heart) behind Thistly Tails Pet Services.

I offer experienced and reliable care for dogs, cats, small animals, and exotic pets. From pop-in pet visits, to overnight dog sitting, I take pride in giving your pets the best care when you are not around.

Some facts you may not know about me:
• I have an Honours Degree in Applied Animal Science 👩‍🎓

• I am a mum to a very busy toddler, who has inherited my love of animals and takes his role of ‘little apprentice’ very seriously. 👦🏼🐶

•I previously worked as an Animal Warden, handling the stray dog service, conducting welfare visits and inspecting licensed premises (to name just a few!) 🐾

• I was a self confessed guinea pig lady for quite some time but since the passing of my last rescue pig in 2023, sadly haven’t adopted any more (at least not yet!) 🐹

• Although I’m Scottish, I live in the Welsh seaside town of Barry (Gavin and Stacey fans will know!) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Your pets wellbeing is always my top priority. I am insured, DBS checked and first aid trained. My services cover Barry and surrounding areas.
If you have been looking for a trusted sitter for 2025, this is your sign!

I hope to speak soon, my inbox is always open if you’d like to chat.
Jordan ☺️🐾

A pet sitters honour…
Dougie mainly knows me as the exciting human who takes him for walks and plays fun games, so having him snuggle up for a sleep was extra special. Love you Doug! 🐾

About Thistly Tails

Hello! I’m Jordan, owner of Thistly Tails.

From as far as I can remember, I’ve always been into animals. I started studying Animal Science at University in 2011 and after graduating, continued to further my knowledge and experience in the real world. I’ve dedicated a great deal of time to caring for animals in both a personal and professional capacity.

In addition to various voluntary roles, I’ve been an Intern Zookeeper, Veterinary Care Assistant and most recently worked as Animal Warden for a local authority in the South West, working with animals (and people) in a variety of ways. From reuniting and re-homing stray dogs, from responding to welfare complaints to enforcing animal legislation.

As Animal Warden, dealing with stray and often difficult dogs, I’ve been equipped with a deeper understanding of dog behaviour and body language. My years of work in the industry have given me the privilege of handling and experiencing many different species, from domestic animals such as chickens to the more exotic, lemurs!
