Availability
Our home is shared by two girls and one gentle whippet girl — it’s a calm and relaxed space where there’s always someone around. We both work from home, so the house is never empty, and we keep a flexible routine that can easily adapt to your pet’s normal schedule — whether that means early morning walks, regular mealtimes, or quiet nap breaks. Before any booking, I like to talk through your pet’s usual routine so we can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. And of course, a meet & greet is always essential.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ll always follow your instructions when it comes to food, treats, and routines. You’re welcome to bring along your dog’s usual meals, favourite snacks, or even their cosy blanket – anything that helps them feel at home. Safety is my priority: doors and gates are kept secure, walks are always on-lead unless agreed otherwise, and I take time to make sure every dog feels comfortable and settled.

Information Chenyan L. would like to know about your pet
A little note about my dog Mae 🐾 Mae is my 2.5-year-old whippet — gentle, calm, and emotionally very steady. She has a lovely temperament and gets along well with all the visiting dogs who come over each week. She’s friendly, respectful, and often becomes great friends with them. Mae is also very mindful of other dogs’ boundaries — she never takes toys that aren’t hers, and when it comes to other dogs’ beds or food, she’ll only give a gentle, curious sniff before walking away. As a whippet, she loves ball games and sprinting, so we often let her off-lead to run freely. Her recall is excellent — one call and she’ll come back straight away, no matter how far she’s gone. Of course, she has her dislikes too: she’s not a fan of things or dogs rushing towards her at high speed, and in those moments she might give a small protective bark or two.
A typical day
Throughout the day, we engage in a variety of activities that cater to each dog's interests and energy levels. And of course, will take them out for at least two mid-long walks.

Whippet mum offering cosy care & long walks
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Chenyan 👋 I’ve been around pets (both dogs and cats) for over 10 years, and have raised two dogs from tiny pups. Now I share my home with my whippet girl, Mae, who’s gentle and full of personality. Over the years, my dogs have taught me everything about patience, empathy, and the value of a calm, structured routine (plus, of course, endless cuddles). We live just a few minutes’ walk from two lovely valley parks, where we go for walks twice a day. I also have experience living with cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and their more independent feline friends. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family - with plenty of attention, play, and a cosy spot to rest (sofa privileges included!). Every animal has their own quirks and comfort zones, so I always take time for a meet & greet to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy here. I’ll love and care for your pet as if they were my own - and will share regular photos and updates while you’re away. In a nutshell: 1. Experienced and passionate pet sitter (30+ dogs cared for on Rover since 2025). 2. My home is a quiet house in a peaceful neighbourhood, surrounded by grass fields, woodland, and streams — all within the community, no busy roads. 3. The go-to home for many of my friends’ pets when they travel. 4. At least two daily walks, lots of love guaranteed.
Reviews
Thank you Chenyan and Mae for taking great care of Nelly. I was given plenty of updates and photos on how Nelly was doing throughout the day, I can tell she had a great time. I would be very happy to book Chenyan again to look after our pup.
Chenyan and Mae were the perfect hosts to Otto. Kind, courteous and responsive, I got plenty of updates. Otto clearly had a great time!
I'm really glad to have found Chenyan for looking after Mr. Pug. He seems to have had a lovely time with her, and the updates by photo and video were very thoughtful. I trust Chenyan to look after Mr. Pug, and am sure he'll be enjoying a vacation with her again soon!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of Maggie over the bank holiday! Especially in the hot weather. We a;pre coated the updates - I think Maggie had just as much fun on her own little holiday as we did!
