Get to Know Your Dog Walker 🐾
Hi! I’m Caerwyn, the face behind Taffs Happy Tails 👋
I’m 17 (turning 18 at the end of the year!) and I started my little business to help out fellow pet owners around Merthyr Tydfil. Whether you’re off on holiday, working long hours, or just need an extra pair of hands, I’m here to make sure your dogs have the best, most enriching walks possible — full of fun, sniffing, and tail wags!.
I’m currently studying Animal Care Level 2 in college and hoping to go on to the University of Bristol to study animal science. My big dream? To become a vet in the Army (a bit different, I know — but I love a challenge!).
I’ve recently had amazing opportunitys to complete three new qualifications: Level 3 First Aid at Work, Canine First Aid, and a Dog Handler course which my workplace generously supported and funded for me and my colleagues.
I’m always looking to build my knowledge and skills to make sure I can provide the safest and best possible care for your dogs 🐾
I’ve had a bit of a mix of work experience:
•Worked in a restaurant for about a year
•Spent a summer in a café
•Currently working in a dog boarding and training kennel
•Completed two weeks of work experience in a veterinary practice (and saw some things I never expected to see!)
Safe to say, animals are 100% my thing. I honestly couldn’t imagine doing a job that doesn’t involve caring for them. Being outdoors with dogs, exploring nature, and seeing them have the time of their lives? Best office ever!.
When I’m not working or studying, I love arts and crafts, listening to music, and I’m part of the Army Cadets — which I absolutely love. It’s given me some amazing friends and experiences.
At home, I have two gorgeous English Springer Spaniels — Willow (who joined us in October) and Fin (who I’ve had for 4 years). I also have three gerbils: Bagheera, Fidget, and Tigger. They’re all my pride and joy, so I completely understand how important your pets are to you.
Thank you all so much for the support and follows so far — it genuinely means the world. I can’t wait to meet you all and your furry friends!
If you’ve got any (appropriate!) questions, pop them in the comments — I’d love to chat 🐶✨
