Shara Hickling (Owner/Operator)Shara started Rosey's Kennel & Rescue shortly after owning her first Pit bull Rosey, back in 2015. When Shara first started RKR she was doing it out of her Grandmas house that was built onto Shara's house. Since then it has grown and a facility is in the process of being built. We are a home-based Kennel & Rescue. The facility will have 4-6 dog runs (maybe more later on in the future), the overall size of the facility is a 24x32 pole barn, the fenced in area will be roughly 11,000 sq ft. and 6-7 ft high.
Shara is 25 years old and has a strong love for all animals, especially dogs. I currently have 3 "Pit bulls" - Rosey- American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier mix, Riley- American Pitbull Terrier, & Remy - American Pitbull Terrier/American Bulldog mix & 3 cats- O Blue Russian, Simba - Orange/Copper Tabby, & Nala - Diluted Calico Blue Russian & 1 Rabbit- Oreo Dwarf Rabbit. This love and strong bond with her own Pit bulls inspired Rosey's Kennel & Rescue to become a reality. Shara has been watching dogs for her neighbors and family members since she was 10 years old. Shara used to spend winters in Florida with her parents in a campground about 10 miles from Disney which is where Shara first had a real start at watching other peoples dogs. Several people would book Shara for her services so they could enjoy Disney and surrounding parks without having to worry about their beloved pets. |

"I went away for long weekend. They came to my home and Took care of my 3 dogs. I came home to 3 happy pups and a clean home. Price was good too. I would recommend them."

"We used them this past weekend, they came to our house and stayed with our girls. We have one dog that can be a little difficult to watch and the sitter did great. The price was on point and I will be using them again. I really appreciated the trip they made out the night before to make sure that my girls were compatible with the sitter. Plus the pics I got through out the weekend made me smile and know my girls are in good hands!!!!"

"We had Rosey's watch our dog Hannah last weekend for two days and was very happy with everything! Shara came over the week before for a meet and greet with Han and us and it went great. We got lots of pictures and videos of our Han while we were away and she looked so happy! Very glad to know she was in good hands while we were away. Rosey's does a great job making you feel like your pets are cared for and their prices are great. Will definitely call again!"

"Shara took care of our German Shorthair for two weeks while we were on vacation. She took such good care of her. It was nice to know she was in such good hands with us being hundreds of miles away!"
- Lisa Cain, Facebook "We had an all day event and it was nice to be able to leave our kids at home. Shara came and walked them and came back later to feed them and hung out with them. Then walked them again. It was comforting to see pictures of them in the house.
We will definitely use their service again." - Kathy Adair, Facebook |
"Shara came to our home several times over the weekend to feed/water our dog Marley and spend some time with her. It was reassuring to know that we could leave Marley at home where she is happy and comfortable. Shara texted each time she was there so we knew Marley was being cared for and she even sent pics"

"Rosey's Kennel and Rescue has provided experienced and loving care for our three dogs for over a year. We can leave home for a day out or an extended vacation knowing that our pets are safe and well cared for. They even handled emergency vet care and surgery when we were out of the country. It is very important to us to have compassionate, reliable care for our dogs when we travel and we have found that at Rosey's"

"Shara came to our house to trim our black lab Sams nails! He really was so good for her! This is usually a tough job, but she made it all so easy. We definitely will have her come again!"
- Sharon Hildenbrand, Facebook "Thank you so much for taking such good care of my three dogs! I have a puppy who is blind and I appreciated that you took such wonderful care of him."
- Melissa Stirrett Guza, Facebook I randomly met Shara at a store when I asked her about her jacket advertising Rosie's. She gave me a business card. Several weeks later, I found myself in need of an at home sitter for 24 hr care. I called Shara and luckily she was open and could fit us in. She came for a meet & greet visit and my 2 dogs and felt very comfortable right away. She's was very very good with them. While sitting, I was sent pictures of them playing and resting. My anxiety was instantly gone! My dogs thrived and happily were able to stay at home! As far as my house, Shara left it picked up and clean....you'd never know she was there. What a pleasant surprise. DONT HESITATE TO TRUST THIS WONDERFUL LOVING YOUNG LADY. She's very professional and yet down to earth caring, loving person. I thank God I ran into her that day at a store..I have several more out of town trips this year and will not hesitate to use Roseys Kennel and Rescue. Would give her 10 stars if I could! Grateful our paths crossed
If I could give Roseys a 10...or 100%. This was the first time we've had to leave our furry family with anyone. Mom was so anxious...she had to have surgery and her biggest concern was the dogs, not herself. She met Shara while at Walmart one day and got her card. It was a divine meeting...Shara was wonderful. We got pics everyday and communication when needed. At the meet and greet, both dogs were completely relaxed..if they weren't, they stay right by mom. They were playing with Shara! We had 24 hr in home care and arrived home to find the house clean and picked up..happy dogs, happy life! Mom has a few more surgeries scheduled and we will most definitely pray that Shara is available. I honestly think mom would not accept anyone else now. Thank you so much Shara for what you do! - Toni Hartig, Google & Facebook |
"I highly recommend Shara! I've used her several times now to watch my yellow lab Champ! He loves her and I can relax more when I leave because I know she spends quality time with him!"
- Monica Miller, Facebook We’ve known Shara before as a babysitter.. so we knew we could trust her 110% with our pets! Our kitty, 2 bunnies and fish were well fed, loved and taken care of while we were gone. She even got to chase after one of our escape artist bun’s and WON! Thanks Shara!!
- Kerry Carlton, Google Extraordinary customer service. Amazing with the animals. Prices are reasonable and they kept us informed during their in home pet sitting. Very professional and friendly. I would recommend their services for anyone needing pet care.
- Jasper & Michelle Freeman, Facebook They did a great job with my boys nail trims. Patient and understanding even with 110 lb Rot that thinks he is still small. They even took time to meet a rescue that needed the socialization. Thank you Ladies for caring for my pups.
- Marion Collier, Facebook We had Rosey’s Kennel pet sit our cat and would recommend their service. It felt like we had a family member watching our pet and it makes your out of town trip less stressful knowing your fur baby is taken care of.
- Josh Drazkowski, Facebook I took all 4 of my dogs to Rosey's to get their nails trimmed. They are amazingly patient with all of them. none of them really care to have them trimmed. One of my older dogs has cancer and absolutely hates it she was so patient and calm and moved with my fur baby, I will definitely be back Everytime my babies need them trimmed. I can't say enough how grateful I am to have seen her post on Facebook. They eased my mind and I am absolutely in love with their caring attitude and their love for animals. I will also utilize their doggie daycare for my puppy, when I need a babysitter. Thank you so much.
