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!

I would recommend RCO Pet Care too anyone who treats their dogs like their children. The level of service and care for my babies is amazing. Our dog walker Mackenzie from RCO is truly my Girls new best friend and they look forward to her visits. This service has been a lifesaver for my husband and I who have very busy schedules.

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.

Rachael D.

Nutmeg, Sash and Locke

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!

This is our first time using anyone other than a family member to watch Sadie, and having Jessie come felt like another member of the family. It is so comforting to know we have someone we can count on. Can’t thank Jessie and RCO enough!

My husband and I have two cats and a dog. We are very particular about who we trust with their care. I really love that I felt I could trust RCO Petcare from the jump. The pictures of the animals and GPS really helped to ease the initial anxiety. Everyone has been timely, professional, and worked so well with my dog who can be skittish around new people.

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. We recently went on vacation and Jess and Mackenzie came to the house. Not only did they take care of our dog but they brought our mail in and put our garbage cans back after garbage pick up. I was in awe of how above and beyond they go. To top it off, the journals per visit along with the pictures are the perfect addition to the service. 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!

Jess and RCO Pet Care were amazing!! We were 100% comfortable and relaxed knowing our boy was in good hands. The updated journal after each visit helped alleviate any anxiety we had leaving our buddy! I will use them again in the future if needed and recommend them to anyone needing pet care!!

I cannot express how grateful I am to have RCO Petcare in the area!Jess and her team go out their way to ensure my dogs were taken care of as if they were their own.Booking dates I need is easy through their website, and pet updates (with pictures!) every visit are an added bonus help ease the stress associated with travelingA meet and greet was even scheduled before I left to ensure my dogs were comfortable with their sitters.Thanks RCO!! I will not hesitate to book again

Thank you RCO Pet Care for your trusted, caring, professional and thoughtful pet care expertise! Jessica and Nicole are animal lovers and true experts who really helped to keep us pet parents happy and worry-free while away. Our cat and dog were so comforted by your visits and they now have some new friends they can look forward to seeing when we use RCO Pet Care again in the future! 🐕🐾😸

Jessica and her team are amazing. We had the best experience with RCO Pet Care and can just say good things about the service they are offering. We went on vacation for 14 days and RCO was so flexible and agreed to take care of our two cats just three days before we needed them since our other option got cancelled last minute. They arranged a meet and greet to ensure they knew where the litter boxes are located, how to prepare the food, ensured to know where cleaning supplies are at (yes, they even clean pet messes while you are gone), wanted to know if the mail had to be brought in, and answered all questions you might have. It is a pet service beyond your needs and our kitties where so fortunate to be able to stay home and being taking care of instead of being forced into tiny cages at a canel service. If you are within the service area and need help with your pets, you should definitely consider RCO. Our kitties where happy and our house was clean when we returned. You also receive a status report of your loved animals after each visit including pictures.Thank you for taking care of our kitties.

We wanted to thank RCO and Maddie for nine days of love and companionship for our Lillybelle. the reports for each visit were professional and reassuring. All our expectations for your service were exceeded. We will do definitely use you again. Special thanks to Maddie from Lilly.. Jim, Beth and Lilly!!

Jessica and MacKenzie were amazing with our cats while we were away. Loved the journal updates and pictures. It's pretty possible that they have as many pictures on their phones of my cats as I do. My usually stubborn male cat fell in love with MacKenzie and was totally relaxed when we got home. She played with them every day and my male cat followed her all over the house. They were very professional and punctual. We highly recommend their services.

RCO Petcare has been the best pet are company we’ve used. I have two nervous rescues that tend to be a handful. The sitters took their time building a relationship with my dogs on their terms. Going from just needing a few day visits here and there, to having RCO look after the dogs for a whole week was an easy transition for all. Even when our travel plans fell through and we needed to set up last minute visit they were able to handle it with ease. We get pictures and a summary of each visit directly after they’ve come. I tend to be very picky with pet sitters seeing as I used to be one myself, it’s the nicest feeling knowing if anything comes up or if we take a trip that the boys are in great hands. I have already recommended their services to a few friends, and would extend that recommendation to anyone looking for pet sitters.

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! Jessica matched us with the perfect sitter and she answered all my silly questions and let me know everything was going to be fine. The app made everything easy to access and we LOVED seeing the notes from each visit that made us giggle and the cute pictures were what we needed to know our pups were, in fact, just fine. I would recommend RCO to anyone looking for the highest care for their beloved fur kids. I finally feel confident someone other than me can care for our dogs and we have our freedom back!! THANK YOU RCO!!

Jess came and fed our cats for a week while we were away. She arrived regularly and consistently and posted an update to let me know how the visit went. She went out of her way to try to engage with my elusive felines and even brought in a package that had been delivered! I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing my cats were being well taken care of. Thank you!

Rebecca C.

15:31 20 Apr 21

If you are in need of a professional, caring, communicative pet care service, RCO is it! I am so impressed with the visitation logs sent to me (with photos of my pup!!) while we were away. I am confident that my dog was well-cared for; RCO has a beautiful love for animals, and it shows!

14:23 20 Apr 21

We just finished our first experience with RCO. Setting up with Jessica began with an easy phone call and everything proceeded nicely from there. A meet and greet was set up with Julie Ann. From there daily visits for our cats went without a hitch and Julie Ann communicated with us after every visit. Good first experience. RCO knows their business and is able to handle any issues that might come up. We were very pleased and will use them again. We highly recommend their service.

The RCO team is fabulous! I truly appreciated how responsive and professional they were in caring for my animals while I was away. I have a senior cat with many medical issues and I was completely confident that she was going to be properly taken care of. They also do a great job communicating and providing daily updates as well as pictures. In addition, Jessica was kind enough to recommend a veterinary technician to assist with services her company can't provide. RCO worked seamlessly with the vet tech to make sure my animals had the care they needed. I will definitely use RCO again and highly recommend their services.

Jess is fantastic! Great service. The email summary and pictures are extremely helpful. I will always use RCO when I'm away, and suggest you do the same!

Jess did an amazing job taking care of my little dog Zoe while on a short trip! I particularly loved the journal entries and receiving photos of her while I was gone. I will definitely be using RCO Pet Care in the future!

We saw a recommendation for RCO on Facebook and were looking for a dog walker for our new golden-doodle puppy, Dottie. We have been so impressed by their professionalism, organization, and special care they give to Dottie. We LOVE getting the visit updates from Jessie and it relieves so much stress knowing that Dottie is having such fun company and getting outside. I'm so happy to share our puppy with the RCO girls and know that Dottie will look forward to their visits for years to come!

I started using RCO Pet Care in June of 2020 to take care of all of my pet sitting needs for my 3 dogs & 3 cats. They are extremely professional & very reliable— very good communication at all times & they send me photos at each visit, which I love when I’m on vacation, because I miss my animals! I trust Jess & Anna implicitly & know that they take great care of my animals when I’m away! My animals love them too!

I have used RCO Pet Care for more than a year and would recommend them to anyone. They are extremely responsive, reliable, professional and always willing to work with you to tailor their services for your needs and those of your pet. They not only give my dog Tor a much needed bathroom and stretch break on long work days, they also reinforce his training and work with him on manners while they walk him. The team provides you with an update and pictures of your pet after every visit. They are extremely trustworthy, punctual and love all of their clients as they do their own pets!Throughout the pandemic, they have taken extra measures to keep everyone safe while still providing excellent service. Whether you are looking for daily walks or visits while you are away, I highly recommend their exceptional staff. I truly don’t know what I would do without them!

I have used RCO for my dog, cats, guinea pigs, fish and even a hermit crab. They do GREAT work. They are very thorough and loving with the animals. We get photos/videos of all of them to show they've been attended to that day. I recommend RCO to anyone that is looking for great care for their animal family members.

20:08 04 Nov 20

Jess and her team are awesome! I can always trust them to take care of my fur-babies. Mary is always on time and she puts my mind at ease when I am away with pictures and updates for every visit! It's so easy to get in contact with them if I have a question or specific concern for that visit. Love RCO!!

We have been using Jess and RCO for two years now and they have always done a great job for us and our dog. I would highly recommend that they watch your pet anytime.

RCO Pet Care has made it possible for me to work full-time and my dog Toby to still get the exercise he needs! Jess came to introduce herself before we started the visits and it made us feel so comfortable and more at ease about putting our dog in someone else’s hands. At the end of each visit we get a journal about the walk and even pictures ! I will definitely recommend this company to any family or friends that have pet sitting/walking needs 🙂

I have owned dogs for over 25 years and have a lot of dog walkers in that time. We recently moved into the area and had a sudden change in our job situations making it necessary to hire a dog walker again after many years of not needing one. After researching several companies I am glad I went with RCO Pet Care. Jess, the owner really knows dogs! I have 3 GSD's and they can be a bit intimidating when you walk in the door! Jess and her crew handle them with such amazing dog sense and in a short time my dogs have come to love them! They even know when they arrive and whine and bark in delight to get to their play friend!! The care they receive is amazing. I love the RCO Pet Care app that tells me exactly when they come, how long they stayed and gives me a note telling me how the dogs were complete with pictures of my babies playing! If you are thinking about hiring a dog walker don't go with anyone else! They go the extra mile to be there for your animals! Thank you RCO Pet Care for being there for my fur family!

RCO Pet Care is simply amazing! Jessica and her team are so focused on their clients. Julie Ann took great care of my dog and treated her like a little princess. Her messages to me helped me relax when I wasn't able to be home. Jessica even came to MY rescue when I locked myself out of my house - talk about going the extra mile! I'm moving and really wish I could take Jessica and Julie Ann with me - they are the best in the business! You and your pets will love RCO 🙂

So thankful that Stone Vet’ recommended RCO to us. In addition to a dog, we have exotic pets as well. We went away for a week and left the exotics in RCO’s care. The pet sitter did a perfect job taking care of things and provided pictures and thorough and friendly notes after each visit. I highly recommend their service!Thanks again RCO Pet Care!

I moved to Oxford to August 2019, and I was on the search for a dog walker. I have four dogs, and one of them is deaf. My dogs are my kids and they get nothing but the best! I found RCO Pet Care and I could not be happier and grateful. Jess and her team are absolutely amazing! They always provide the most outstanding services. My dogs absolutely adore them and get insanely excited to see them. After each walk, they send you a report with pictures and what happened. It also shows how many miles they have walked. I am so impressed with their service. Jess always makes every walk work no matter what. Prices are beyond reasonable. We love RCO Pet Care and highly recommend them to anyone.

I have three cats, two of whom are special needs with dietary restrictions and medications. We've used other pet sitters in the past, and each time was a bad experience. From complete radio silence from the sitter while we were away, to the wrong food being given, to items being stolen... It was just bad all around. So... You could say I have some trust issues when it comes to pet sitters.Enter RCO. RCO is amazing! They came out to meet us before agreeing to take us on as a client, to make sure they felt comfortable meeting our needs. They took the time to meet our animals and note their temperament. And best of all... 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.RCO is VERY communicative with you. Jess was our sitter, and when she had questions, she texted us to make sure things were done the way we wanted them. She didn't attempt to be a mind-reader and wasn't afraid to ask questions, which I REALLY appreciated.Long story short - RCO is our permanent sitter, we love them so much. There's no point in considering anyone else, when RCO goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of - animal AND human alike.

We found RCO this year and they have been amazing! The care they gave both of my dogs was top notch! They send pictures and gps of the visit so you see that everything is going well and a online journal entry. You can also send messages back and forth through the journal. Mackenzie gave lots of love and spent quality time with Zeus and Pandora and I had peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend RCO Pet Care as exceptional pet sitters in this area!

23:54 04 Sep 19

Jess is fantastic, and her staff too! Always able to help us figure out a good plan for our pups. I tend to be a nervous nelly when it comes to my fur children, but I never have to worry when it comes to RCO pet. Easy communication and scheduling. They love your pets like you do!

Thank you Jessica for taking care of our cats, fish, and plants while on vacation! We loved your daily updates and my kids couldn't wait for the pictures to get a peek at our pets while we were away!

Jessica is amazing to work with. Her staff has taken the best care of Emma. From our first conversation I knew how much they love animals ! They met with Emma before their first walk to make sure they would be ready for their first walk. Emma looks forward to her daily walks and RCO Pet Care is part of our family now. Could not be happier and would recommend them to any pet owner. You will be well taken care of.Didi TullochPets for Vets® - Roar-Ridgefield CT

We first used RCO Pet Care last month when we went away and left our two cats in their care. Right away when Jessica came for the consultation and to meet our cats, Oliver and Merlin, I immediately felt comfortable with her. She was willing to do anything to make the cats comfortable and us comfortable while we were away on vacation. The daily Journal that was texted to me with pictures was such a joy. I never had a vacation when I wasn't wondering if the cats were being checked on appropriately. This was so reassuring. Communication is constant between RCO and the customer. I will never have any other pet sitter again!P.S. Our cat Merlin, is very shy and hides under the bed when anyone visits. Imagine my surprise when Jessica sent me a picture of her petting Merlin on her trip to feed and check on the cats!

I was VERY hesitant to try a pet sitting service and had only used family to care for my “baby”. I have a 12 yr. old 5lb chihuahua who can be skiddish around strangers, and I have OCD and severe anxiety about having people in my home. From the very first interaction with RCO Pet Care I had no hesitation whatsoever about hiring them! Jessica is extremely organized, prompt in returning your inquiry and nothing but professional. She and her team come to your home and do a very thorough meet and greet with your pet. You get very detailed emails with pictures at each home visit so you can see how your pet is doing, which was a huge bonus and totally put my mind at ease! They followed the extremely specific instructions I left for them and took exceptional care of my dog, even better than family! I highly recommend them, have used them several times and will continue to do so with confidence!

Love Jessica from RCO Pet Care! I had a unique situation and she was more than understanding and accommodating to work around my unsure schedule. I had to go away for 4 days on a short notice and yet Jessica still made time to do a meet 'n greet with me and get everything organized before my departure. She took care of my shy kitty with great care. And while my kitty started off hiding under the bed, within 2 days my lil Emma was greeting Jessica and looking for pets and playtime. I thought it was great that my lil girl learned to trust Jessica so soon as I found Jessica to be very personable and trustworthy as well. I loved the daily updates along with pictures so that you are kept informed of how things are going with your fur baby while away. I'm so happy I found RCO Pet Care as I can now go away when needed with a peace of mind that my fur baby will be in great hands. Thank you Jessica!!!

Jessica has been watching our dog, Captain, for years now. The moment she walks in the door it's all about the dog! She puts all her energy into making sure he is happy, comforted, and exercised!!!! She updates us on him with pictures, videos, texts, etc... It's not just a job to her and it's immediately apparent to any pet owner. I have recommended her to many friends over the years and will continue to do so.

I can’t say enough positive things about Jessica and how amazing she is with our puppy. She is so so kind and loves him like he is her own. She is always so accommodating and willing to help us out in a pinch whenever she can. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of Bandit! Thank you!!!!

15:55 05 Feb 19

These are two of my three fur babies Jess cares for when we are out of town. Vacations and last minute trips when you have pets can be stressful. Knowing my babies are well taken care of by RCO is one less stressor for us when we go away. I will rearrange my plans if they don’t have an opening because i won’t take them anywhere else. Trust your babies are their babies while you’re away!!

They are amazing!! Jess watched my cats while I was away i couldn't be happier with the way things went. The best part is my cats didn't give me the silent treatment when I got home! She must have given them all the attention they needed. The food bowl was full, the litter box was clean, and my kitties were happy! What else can you ask for?

RCO Pet Care is professional, safe, and took every consideration in the needs of our elderly dogs. Would definitely recommend.

RCO Pet Care and our amazing walkers are wonderful with my 14 year old fur baby. The daily walks and love have been instrumental in her settling in to a move at her age. A great team -- highly recommended

I would definitely recommend RCO Pet Care. We can finally go away without worrying about our pets. Mackenzie is awesome and the pictures and updates that they send you are great.

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!

Absolutely recommended. Jessica paired us with Julie Ann...I think she is part of Axel’s family now. Did more than requested or expected ! We will be permanent clients!

Jessica is a wonderful young woman who cares more than I can say.She loves dogs and animals with a big heart and a caring soul. I would recommend RCO to anyone who wants their fur babies to have the best care.

Love, love, love RCO!!! With three dogs, two bunnies and one cat, arranging animal care when I travel for work is always one of the biggest stressors of business travel. Now that stressor has been completely erased. And who knows? I might actually get to travel for fun one of these days!

From my first conversation with Jess, I felt comfortable. I was a little frazzled during the home visit, but she put me at ease. 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!

A huge thank you to Jess, McKenzie and Morgan! I am so happy I found you!!

Jess took care of my 2 dogs and 3 cats for 10 days and we couldn't have left them in better hands. My kids and home were taken care of with love and respect. 5*****

I have been using Jessica Barry for my pet sitting needs for the past four years now and I trust her implicitly with my animals. She’s taken care of my large pets like my mini-donkey, Darius, and my Horse, Luke, as well and my small animals like my cat Kayle😁. She is competent, compassionate, dedicated, and DEPENDABLE! You takes care of your pets like they were her own, not every pet sitter has that type of mind set ( I’m sure you’ve come across them, I know I have), Jess is definate not one of those. I highly recommend her services You will not be disappointed, and you’re pets will thank you too🥰🥰🥰
