Pet Care Services

RCO has been great our dog walker Mackenzie is very friendly and my dog loves her. He’s unsure of new faces and does not like men. So we were happy to hear it’s female only. Gimli was rolling on his back having a blast within minutes of meeting our walker. She’s been respectful and punctual. We really enjoy the photos they take throughout the walk and the little snippets of when they ate/did their business. Overall I can’t recommend RCO enough. Even if you think your dog is too complicated they have someone for you.

Our care providers were Jess & Cat. Outstanding ladies...They showed Max their love and were very caring. He was post operative for knee surgery and only 2 so he can get a little too excited! All communication from them was detailed, timely and caring. We have since hired them after vacation and will definitely continue to do so as Max and his parents love them!

Mackenzie started with us right after we got a super fearful rescue dog. She came to meet him and, while he was still very nervous, we knew right away she would be a good fit for our boy. She came for her first walk with him two days later and he couldn't have been more excited! I felt so relieved knowing he would be more than okay while we were at work. They became fast friends and he loves her visits! I can see the excitement in his face in all the fabulous photos she sends each visit! Two months later, we added a second dog to our family and Mackenzie has been continually amazing with both of them. We've extended the length of our visits to allow her adequate time because they get SO excited to see her! She sends us a very detailed report, a report card, and several photos each visit. We are so incredibly grateful to have her in our lives!

We have used RCO for our last two trips and we could not be happier with the service we received. Each staff member did a wonderful job with our two dogs and even went above and beyond when we forgot to take care of something in the house before we left. Our dogs can be high energy and they did a great job both allowing them plenty of play time in our yard along with mixing some walks to allow them to see new surroundings and smells. The app they use is great for both scheduling and the visit updates were fantastic. We were getting to a point where we were awaiting the next batch of photos just to see what our dogs where up to next. It is a great feeling being on a trip knowing that our friends at home are getting the love an affection they deserve. Great job to you and your team, we will certainly be using you services going forward. Thank you

RCO Pet Care has done an amazing job taking care of our dog Tripp when we are out of town. Tripp is a 3 year old diabetic lab who needs to get his blood sugar tested and insulin shot twice a day. Mackenzie always shows up at the scheduled time and Tripp's waiting for her at the door (he absolutely loves her). We love getting the texts letting us know how he did on the visit and of course all the great photos.I am a big "read the reviews" person and will invest a lot of time reading reviews before making a decision on anything. So for anyone reading this, RCO Pet Care is the right choice to help you with your pets needs.

I can’t recommend RCO enough! Sara and Jenn have been so great with my crazy pack (4 pups!). The pictures and the journals I receive whenever I go away gives me SO much peace of mind! I can truly see how much my dogs love them and I’m so glad/grateful they’re available 365 days a year 💜

Terrific experience with RCO Petcare. Reliable, professional and friendly - Mackenzie took great care of our toy poodle and sent so many photos and detailed updates after every visit. It was such peace of mind having her. Much better than any kennel because our dog was relaxed and safe at home. Highly recommend !!!

RCO Pet Care has done such an amazing job caring for our dog! We are so grateful to Alora and all of the RCO staff.Alora is absolutely wonderful with our dog. She takes her for a walk everyday, gives her any food or water that she may need, and shows her so much love and affection while we’re at work. We love that we come home to a happy dog who was able to get some exercise even though we weren’t available. We also love that we get daily updates and pictures that describe how each visit went!Thank you so much, RCO Pet Care!

Claudia and Rebecca were amazing with our two dogs, Ginger and Callie! I highly recommend RCO pet care and will definitely be using them in the future. I loved how after every visit, they sent pictures of ours dogs to me with a detailed message on how the visit went. It made me feel so much better about leaving them home, knowing that they were getting so much love and attention. Thank you so much!!

Shay has progressed a lot in the area of walking on leash , which was his main problem. He’s an active 1 year old Lab, weighing 85 pounds. He is strong and lovable. Jessica and Jessie have worked with me showing me how to work with him. He has gotten much better. Jessie comes twice a week to walk him. Shay waits at the door for Jessie to come. He gets so excited. He has responded very well to her. Just a couple of weeks ago I walked with Jessie and Shay, just to review his progress. They go out of their way to be supportive and to work with you to help you correct any problems you may be having. I would highly recommend this business and their services. Kathleen Sullivan

And yet another reason to love RCO Pet Care...Jess has cared for our furry family for years now, and Mackenzie started coming over when we needed help with Nutmeg and my office let us return to the building after COVID.In the past few months, as our cat Nutmeg's health progressively failed, Mackenzie would come over more often to help care for everyone.The day after Nutmeg passed, when my partner went back to work, Mackenzie came over when I couldn't bear to open the cabinet where all the cat plates live -- because all of Nutmeg's medications were in there. When marking down meal times in the book would make me cry because of the empty spaces where Nutmeg's medications should have been recorded...We've relied on Mackenzie and RCO so much.My partner and I received a hand-written heartfelt card today - from Jess, Mackenzie, and the rest of the RCO team, sending sympathies for our loss of Nutmeg. They didn't need to do that, and yet... they did it anyway.RCO doesn't feel "just like a business". I know they are, but it's the little touches like these that make them feel like family. It's support that we cherish, and appreciate - we certainly would have struggled immensely without them, but they go the extra mile -- from birthday cards and little treats, now to making sure the humans are taken care of too ... I will never be able to recommend RCO enough.Thank you, all of you, for everything.=================================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.

Extraordinarily pleased and so impressed with RCO Pet Care and with Bri's visit, status note and wow, the pictures of all of our 4-legged critters! We booked a 30 minute visit principally for our 3 dogs (super easy to book) so we could take a day trip. Bri went over-and-above in caring for them, and wow, also checked on our 4 cats, with a multi water re-refresh, and posted pictures, including of our 2 exceedingly camera shy/people shy cats! Definitely makes it easier for us to schedule our next day trip knowing that our beloved critters are well cared for. Thank you again Bri ; we cannot recommend RCO Pet Care enough for taking care of our menagerie.

Using RCO Pet Care was the best choice we’ve ever made! Jess, Bri, and Lisa were SO accommodating and made sure that our two dogs were getting the best care possible! We were out of the country for a full week and we were never nervous about how our dogs were doing. The journals and the pictures were awesome and we couldn’t have chosen a better option! Would fully recommend using this company for any pet care you need!

Where do I begin? I just love these guys (Jessica/McKenzie). They are awesome. Jess is so quick to respond and can always squeeze me at the last min (I thank her and McKenzie so much for that) and for taking such great care of my furbabies….At first when I started, when Jessica had just started up I was lit nervous, not with her or McKenzie, just the thought of leaving my kids….but boy oh boy they outdid themselves….McKenzie loves my kids like they’re hers and that makes me feel so safe and comfortable….and the updates I get, love all of them and I love all of the pics I get, too many to post, but they get pics that I could never get and my kids always look so happy and content and best of all, when I return home, my kids are the same as when I left, not upset or bothered at all and that to me speaks volumes for RCO…thank you thank you for all you do and for watching my babies when I can’t ❤️

We've struggled finding a reliable dog walker and were lucky enough to eventually be referred to RCO. Jessica and her staff are wonderful and there's never any question if someone is going to come to take our dog out on schedule. Claudia always provides detailed descriptions of her visit with lots of pictures and our dog loves her.

Sooooo happy we decided to go with Jess for dog training! We adopted a six month old whippet mix in December who we didn’t realize was reactive towards dogs so we were definitely overwhelmed and would avoid bringing her places that would potentially have other dogs. After six sessions with Jess, I can safely say we feel comfortable bringing her around with us anywhere! She gave us the tools to help Piper feel confident, and also gave US the confidence that we can handle Piper when she has a reaction and we need to re-focus her on us instead of the other dog. The most recent brewery we went to, we got many compliments on how well behaved our dogs were and how quiet and all around amazing they were. We couldn’t have done it without Jess and RCO!!! Definitely recommend!!

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.

RCO Pet Care is absolutely outstanding! Excellent communication! Jess and her team always come through last minute for me. The team at RCO Pet Care always go above and beyond and gives all four of my dogs an enormous amount of unconditional love! They treat all four of my fur babies as if they were theirs. At the end of each walk, you will get an text/email with a report on how the visit went along with great photos! RCO Pet Care has great prices! RCO Pet Care has been my go to company since I moved to Oxford, CT almost 3 years ago. They never once let down, and they always out do themselves each visit! I look forward to many more years working with RCO Pet Care!I HIGHLY recommend RCO Pet Care!

I have a very anxious and nervous young dog named Piper. She is so anxious she can not be left in the house alone or she is destructive. She is also fearful and nervous around anyone she does not know. Working long hours and not wanting to keep her in a crate all day, I began using RCO Pet Care. I have loved having someone come to let her out during the day, but mostly I am beyond thrilled with Piper’s progress (that I was even expecting to happen!). Since someone has been coming to the house, Piper is no longer as fearful or anxious around new or unfamiliar people. She started her visits by keeping a distance, but always watching. Now she is laying on the couch looking for belly rubs from her pet sitter! It’s only been a couple months and Piper has benefitted so much from these visits. I was even able to bring her to get her picture taken with Santa, which previously she would have freaked. Piper has loved meeting new friends (Jess, Anisa, and Mackenzie) and I am so thankful for them enjoying her just as much! I highly recommend RCO Pet Care for all your pet sitting needs.

RCO team took care for my 3 cats over Thanksgiving holiday and I 100% will be using them again. I recieved pictures of each twice a day and looked forward to the text seeing them each time as well as the update. This pet care business really has their process down and my babies were perfectly well and happy when we returned, litter clean. We love our babies, and it's easier to leave them knowing they will be in good hands for future trips. 😊
