“Yi Jia was amazing—we felt completely at ease leaving CHAI in her care. Before our boarding date, she arranged a meet-and-greet and carefully noted everything CHAI needed attention on.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southbury
Leaving my sweet dog Lulu in someone else’s care is never easy, but from the moment we met Julie, I knew she was in the best hands. Julie treated Lulu with such patience, kindness, and respect for her pace and needs—it was clear this was not “just a job,” but genuine care. Lulu was comfortable, calm, and clearly adored. I received thoughtful updates and photos that showed not just that she was safe, but that she was happy. Every detail mattered, from her routine to her quirks, and that level of attentiveness gave me complete peace of mind. Coming home to a relaxed, content Lulu meant everything to me. Finding someone I trust for my fur baby is invaluable, and I am so grateful to have found a sitter who truly understands and honors the bond we have with our pets. I would recommend Julie without hesitation to anyone—especially those who treat their pets like a true family member.
We were SO nervous to leave our dog for the first time with someone but the second we met Tierna for our meet and greet, we instantly felt calm and confident. It was so clear how much she cares about the pets she watches and what great care she was going to take care of our boy. During the stay, she sent tons of fantastic pictures, and did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable and cared for. She even took him on an orientation walk to help him feel comfortable in a new place and ease separation anxiety! We are so grateful we found Tierna and truly could not recommend her more!
Another excellent booking with Tierna. She is amazing with my elderly, crazy, dog-reactive dogs. Also, I can tell that she loves them and appreciates their specialness, which is so nice and comforting when I'm missing them. Her photos and updates are wonderful. She's just excellent. I feel so so good leaving them with her. Thank you so much, Tierna!
