About Us
Rusty Rickard is the owner of Lakeside Home Watch & Property Solutions. He has lifelong ties to Shell Knob and has served the area in various capacities in both public service and private business.
He found himself doing things for friends and neighbors that were services provided by Home Watch businesses in other parts of the country. Knowing the need for these services, they started Lakeside Home Watch & Property Solutions.
“We are local, honest & trustworthy. We have owned our home and business here as well for many years. We are hardworking and know the area very well. If we can’t help you, we know who can.”
Rusty Rickard
Rusty has been a Shell Knob native for 39 years & is very well known in the community. At the age of 23 he became a business owner in the community and that business is still operational today. He serves as the local Fire Chief, has held positions on multiple boards throughout the community and also has held an honorary reserve commission with the local Sheriff’s office.
“Being born & raised in this area gives me a wide knowledge combined with my nearly 25 years’ experience in the fire service. I found there was a serious need for a service not available in our area. I heard friends & property owners saying things like “Can you keep an eye on my house while I’m away”, “We don’t know or trust the neighbors”, “I’m needing to find someone to mow my lawn” or “I’m worried about my house after that crazy storm last night” That is where we came in! We’ve created Lakeside Home Watch & Property Solutions and are filling the need of the weekenders & snowbirds, a peace of mind for vacationers & so much more.”
