Pets Cared For

Hear From Pet Parents Just Like You!

I’m extremely anxious and protective of my two dogs. From the start Jess was amazing with both of them and with understanding my concerns about leaving them with someone. Now she is an important, loving part of my dogs lives and someone they trust. I would recommend Jess and RCO with no reservations.

Awesome experience! My 16 year old cat couldn’t have been in better hands. He requires medication twice per day. Jess and Cassie were perfect at making me feel at ease when we met! They provided pictures and a report at each visit while I was away! I highly recommend RCO for in home care!

Jessica has cared for our high energy, jumpy, sensitive skin, bundle of joy with professionalism and tender loving care in our own home for the past 2 years! She has a true connection with animals. We enjoy our trips knowing that Buttercup is on her own “stay vacation” while receiving any needed rash cream or medications. She hires staff just like herself!

Mary D.

Buttercup

Each visit that RCO makes, they write a report. They let you know what they did during the visit, take photos, make notes of any odd behaviours, and overall just let you know how things are going. We had them come out twice a day for feeding and cleaning litter boxes while we were away for a week, and let me tell you – those reports are AMAZING.

I filled out an easy to use form so that the pet sitters knew exactly which animals needed which medications and when, but Jess made sure to follow up on my directions. They use a wonderful app that texts and emails an update after every visit to include which animals when to the bathroom, which were fed, which got meds and any other updates or notes. And they brought in my mail, too!

My elderly mother has had a hard time walking her beloved little puppy and Jessica and her team have come in to help the little guy get the exercise he needs. They are always so warm and affectionate with Kokoa and a bright spot in my moms day. I can’t say enough how great they have been. Thanks!

Craig W.

Kokoa

If I could give the RCO staff 1000 stars, I would. They are absolutely incredible! It is such a relief that we have trusted people coming in and taking such great care of our dog… If you are looking for a trusting, professional, reliable and most important — compassionate pet care… look no further! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone!

Megan G.

I was super anxious about needing to find someone to watch our dogs while planning for a family vacation. Jessica’s professional and prompt replies were my first indication this was a great fit. I wasn’t prepared for RCO to give us our life back while being confident our beloved (crazy) dogs are being loved and cared for!
