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!

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!

Shalom was great as a dog sitter! She is an animal lover and is kind! I would love to have her back as our dog sitter if she lived in Alaska!

I’m happy to recommend Shalom as a Rover sitter without hesitation. She’s an incredibly organized, thoughtful, and reliable person, and that really shows in the way she cares for animals. She has two dogs of her own; Poppy (a doodle) and Comet (a Great Dane), who are both well-loved, well-trained, and clearly thriving. Beyond her dogs, she also cares for chickens and horses, all of which have an excellent quality of life and receive consistent, attentive care. She’s a mom, a professional, and someone who genuinely loves animals of all kinds. Her home and routines are structured, calm, and animal-centered, which makes a huge difference when it comes to pet care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly invested in the animals she cares for, Shalom is exactly that person. I’d trust her with my own pets without question. - Stephen

Hi, Shalom was my neighbor and we would dog sit for each other; I had complete confidence my Festus (Great Dane) and Rambo (Fila Mastiff) would be loved and taken care of like they were at home and maybe even better lol. She does her homework and researches how to take care of her pets and keep them healthy. She researches how to best train and prevent miscommunication with her animals; which in turn, carrys this to her pet setting opportunities. Being neighbors, we would do play dates with our dogs and have a chance for them play and get use to other dogs. We were able to communicate well when one of our dogs would misbehave, or one was being ornery. Shalom is easy to communicate with and would treat your animal with care and respect.

Shalom has always been an animal lover. I’ve watched her over 25 years caring for dogs, cats & horses with expert care. She has watched these animals for others for weeks at a time delivering the best of care & attention to detail. Shalom is intuitive to the needs of various animals and will insure their comfort and happiness. Shalom has my trust because of her tried & true integrity.
