Information Shalom W. would like to know about your pet

If you’d like to book a stay or house visit with me, I’d love it if you let me know any details you would like me to know so I can take the best care of your dog. Even more importantly, I want to keep them safe.

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 10 acres. Constant access to fresh water, and food as instructed. There’s always lots going on around our farm, so dogs love the good exercise!

Pets

Your pet deserves the best!

Pet care experience

Connecting with animals at a young age, I am a natural at handling their needs as well as seeing when something is wrong. Having had an array of animals to care for for over 30 years, I have alot of experience and am well equipped to handle problems, should they arise. I have been lucky enough to care for many breeds of dogs and cats as well as countless other animals. Our 10 acre farm is completely fenced in with ample space to run and is home to 2 dogs and other farm animals. 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!

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!
