Get To Know Me
My name is Talis Moody. I'm a business major at Cleveland State and an animal enthusiast. I've lived in Cleveland since 2020 and recently graduated from Cleveland High School. When I'm not working, I'm usually pursuing my passion in art, writing, or hiking. I created Talis & Tails because I believe that our pets are family, and family shouldn't have compromised care just because you have to be away from home.
​
I grew up with 12 animals in my home, some common and some exotic, so caring for all sorts of companions was normal to me. As I got older, I began volunteering in the boarding area at a local vet clinic, where I learned about cat and dog care on a professional level. On top of that, I also fostered newborn kittens and took care of senior cats, where I learned how to handle all sorts of special needs. All of this culminated in the creation of Talis & Tails, which allows me to combine everything I love about animal care into one business!

What Inspired Talis & Tails?
I've always had a passion for animals and have worked with common and exotic animals throughout my life. Through talking with locals, I realized there aren't many reliable pet-sitting businesses in the Cleveland area. Currently, most people have to hope the in-laws will do you a favor they're sure to make you regret later, or that a friend will pop by after work. I took my idea to Cleveland State Community College, and they rewarded me with money to get started and feedback on my idea. With that, Talis & Tails was born. As an animal lover and business major, I combined my two loves and created the most reliable pet sitting in Cleveland.
