Highlights
Pet care experience
Whippet mum offering cosy care & long walks
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.

A wonderful first visit! Lovely updates and pictures throughout the day. The boys were very happy and well looked after. Already booked for more stays - thank you!!
Thank you Chenyan and Suki for taking great care of Bella for the day. They gave us lots of updates, photos and videos and Bella seemed very content. The meet & greet beforehand made me feel very confident about how they would take care of Bella. Very happy to have found these local sitters! Thank you!
We are really happy our dog stayed with Chenyan. She is very caring and responsible, quick response and updated frequently. My dog had a good time. Thank you so much for looking after him
Thank you so much to Chenyan and Suki for taking such wonderful care of Nessa, our rescue whippet. We really appreciated the time and effort they put into getting to know her and understanding her needs, which helped her settle into their home smoothly. They treated Nessa as one of their own and did a great job helping her bond and integrate with their whippet, Mae. It was clear from the updates that she was happy, relaxed, and well cared for throughout her stay. We also really appreciated the regular and thoughtful updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Mae is very well-behaved, and we felt completely comfortable with the dogs interacting. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chenyan and Suki, and we look forward to booking with them again in the future. 😊
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!

Schedule
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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
Pets
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.
