Pet care experience

Your pet deserves the best!

Connecting with animals at a young age, I am a natural at handling their needs as well as seeing when something is wrong. From young dogs in training to old-timers needing extra patience and love, they become part of our family for their stay with ample space to run and explore on our fenced, 10 acre farm. Here at Emerald Oak Ranch, our family strives to take the very best care of every animal we come into contact with. Book your animal today for a fun, peaceful farm-cation!

Our dogs were so well looked after. Our 16 year old dog had a pep in her step. Loved all the pictures of our pups living their best life!

We are very pleased with the care Axel received at Shalom's. Not only did she send us regular reports about how he was doing, she even included pictures! We can't thank her enough.

Our dogs had a great vacation with Shalom and her family. Murphy and Rufus warmed right up to her and her family, including the Great Danes. She was very quick to respond, flexible with times, and great with specific instructions. Thank you Shalom!

I'm overall satisfied with my boarding experience. I reached out a few days before needing to board Navle and Shalom was able to accommodate me. I'm soooo grateful for the daily picture updates. This allowed me to know Navle was in safe care and doing well during her stay. Communicate was also great.

Safety, trust & environment

We try our best to keep your dogs routine, if possible. They will have constant access to fresh water, and food as instructed. Depending on their needs, they will have some friendly buddies (our 2 dogs and an occasional house guest) or we can keep them separate if necessary. With food in their bellies, lots of water, exercise and positive attention, your dog is sure to have a ball here on the farm.

Pets

A typical day

Every dogs’ idea of fun is different. If your dog is playful, we will entertain them with games of fetch, or letting them tag along with us on our farm adventures. Some dogs just want to be where the action is, which we allow so long as it is safe to do so. There’s always lots to see around the farm- horses, chickens, wild turkey, deer, squirrels, tortoise, frogs, lizards and more. Dogs get many chances to stretch out and run or explore daily.

If you’d like to book a stay, your profile with all your dogs information MUST be fully filled out. I will not consider a stay here and put my family and animals at risk if all questions are not answered and filled out appropriately. I’d also love to know your dogs temperament, how they may respond to other animals they may see on our farm, whether they are free-roam or crate trained, and your feeding schedule/amounts. Daily routines, meds and problems/training issues are important as well. We do not have crates, so if your dog requires one, please bring it. If your dog is aggressive in ANY way, I need to know about it. While your dogs safety is a priority under my care, our safety is just as important.
