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. 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!

Boarding • jun. 23, 2026

Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!

Came on time and kept me informed. Went the extra mile and washed the utensils used to feed the dogs. Met them before the visit so they knew her. Would definitely use again.

Shalom was great with Enzo. She was also very responsive and sent us pictures of him playing. Enzo had a great time!

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.
