Pet care experience

About RCO Pet Care: RCO Pet Care is a professional pet sitting company providing the highest quality of care to your animals. RCO is insured for your pet's safety and peace of mind. Drop-ins, walks and in-home boarding are all available and covered by the company's policies. I am a dog mom of three with a Bachelor's in Animal Science (pre-veterinary program) from the University of Connecticut. I have 14 years of experience with my own pups (among other critters such as horses, goats, chickens, cats, and more) as well as over years of professional pet sitting experience. About Boarding: I have a dog friendly house with the front and back yards fenced in providing plenty of play area! A typical weekday consists of playtime, breakfast and bathroom breaks in the morning, a midday potty break (approximately 4 hour gap) and plenty of playtime, love, potty breaks and cuddles in the evening. During the weekend there are smaller gaps as we are home more. I have a Furbo that enables viewing of dogs while I am away. It alerts me when someone is particularly active or barking so I can check in and see that everyone is okay. See my pictures for an example. About Drop-Ins: Drop-ins can be done in our service area which typically covers Waterbury, Watertown, Oakville, Thomaston, Nauagatuck, Southbury, Oxford, and neighboring areas. Timing is flexible. I have plenty of references available. I would love to speak with you about you and your pups' needs!

Jessica was absolutely wonderful! My “old man” is up there in years and this was the first time he ever spent the night out. He decided to mark his territory several times. Jessica was patient, kind and understanding with him. I will recommend herv

Jessica was so nice and caring for our dog. She gave us lots of updates throughout the stay. Great doggie sitter.

Jessica was great! It was our first time leaving our dog for 2 nights and we were very nervous. Prior to our meeting, Jessica answered every question we had. When we brought Lucy over to her house for our first meeting, all of my anxiety was put to rest! Her home perfectly accommodates dogs, and Jessica is as obsessed with dogs as we are! Before Lucy's stay, our schedule changed and she was able to accommodate an extra night of dog boarding. During my dog's stay, Jessica regularly sent me photo updates and quickly responded to every message. Will definitely use her again!

Information Jessica B. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I have experience with breeds from Chiuauas to Cane Corsos. Crate trained animals are preferred.

A typical day

The yard is fenced in for plenty of play time but I am also happy to walk or run with your pups (I am marathon training so you can pick your distance!). Pups are allowed on the sofa but thanks to a few guest pups peeing on my bed, we spend the night elsewhere. During the day when I am away I am happy to crate or leave loose if the pup is housebroken and trustworthy - this is based on your preference and my judgement. I typically leave them on the lower/basement floor as it is cool in the summer, heated in the winter, and quiet with natural light. Your pup will be separated from mine when I am not home. Mingling can be plentiful but only when I can supervise.
