Having known Ida for a few years and having lived with her for a few months...I have come to know that her passion for life and for people are hard to be separated. Ida is so enthusiastic and loves animals and seems to have a repoir with them unlike any pet owner I've ever known. They show respect for her and she always shows respect for them. She trained her beloved dog Tasha from a small puppy and Tasha was the happiest most well behaved dog I've ever known!! She knew so many tricks and she loved performing them...she really loved Ida...it's like they were one in thought. Ida is a woman of Integrity and Honesty and can be trusted explicitly with not only pets but anyone's home. Ida has a zeal for life and is probably the happiest most positive person I know. I have told Ida that she should train dogs or do something with animals because she has such a natural way with them and her ability to care for any kind of animal and gain their love and respect no matter the aggressiveness, has amazed me. Ida not only cares for all animals but she TRULY LOVES them as her own. Before Ida moved she was a dog sitter, and the owners preferred her over other sitters. You would have no regrets with Ida caring for and loving your pets...she's the best!!
