Welcome to Tillies

Our story

About Tillies

At Tillies, pet care isn’t rushed, automated or impersonal — it’s calm, considered and always centred around your pet’s wellbeing.

Based in Solihull, we provide professional one-to-one dog grooming and trusted pet care for owners who want more than just a quick service. Every dog is treated as an individual, with patience, understanding and respect at the heart of everything we do.

Our Philosophy – Welfare Always Comes First

Tillies was built on one simple belief:

Your dog’s comfort, safety and emotional wellbeing matter more than speed or volume.

That’s why we operate differently from high-throughput grooming salons.

✔️ One-to-one appointments only

✔️ No cages, no conveyor belts, no rushing

✔️ Calm handling and gentle reassurance

✔️ Time allowed for nervous or anxious dogs

This approach creates happier dogs, better grooming outcomes, and long-term trust between groomer, dog and owner.

Why Tillies Is Different

Many dogs struggle with grooming — often because they’ve been rushed, restrained or overwhelmed in the past. We specialise in working with:

• Puppies experiencing their first groom

• Nervous or anxious dogs

• Dogs who have previously struggled with grooming

• Owners looking for a calmer, kinder alternative

Our quiet, one-to-one environment allows dogs to relax and feel safe, which leads to better behaviour, better coats and a far more positive experience overall.

Experience You Can Trust

Tillies Tail Wagging is:

✔️ Fully insured

✔️ Experienced and professional

✔️ Welfare-led and safety focused

✔️ Trusted by local clients across Solihull and surrounding areas

We believe trust is earned — through consistency, reliability and genuine care.

More Than Just Grooming

While dog grooming is at the heart of what we do, Tillies was created to offer dependable, thoughtful pet care that owners can truly rely on.

Our services are designed for people who see their pets as family and want them treated that way — with patience, compassion and professionalism at every step.

Our services include:

Dog Grooming

Dog walking

Cat Sitting

A Calm Choice for Caring Owners

Tillies is not the right fit for everyone — and that’s intentional.

We are best suited to owners who:

✔️ Value calm, gentle handling

✔️ Respect professional boundaries and welfare decisions

✔️ Want quality over speed

✔️ Understand that good care takes time

If that sounds like you, you’ll feel right at home here.
