About Ida E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm all about positive reinforcement and love to play with dogs. I understand dogs can get rough and I'm not afraid of their nibbles but I do know how to distract and redirect their attention in the case of extreme rough play. I'm a big fan of treats so I do include treats during my time with dogs. As long as there is a fenced in back yard, I don't like to rely too heavily on a leash but like for the dog to feel free to roam.
Information Ida E. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs I can account for or triggers I can avoid. Please let me know if they have any bad habits I should be aware of like if they like to eat rocks or chase squirrels.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a walk. My neighborhood has a looping street that is almost perfectly one mile. There are a good number of shady spots so I go as long as their paws can handle it. Then I like to fill up a plastic turtle pool for their relaxation after the walk to beat the heat. Depending on the breed, I like to add ice cubes for some mental stimulation. Sometimes my dogs will play with the cubes or just chew on them. Afterwards we'll go inside and enjoy the air conditioning. Depending on energy levels, they'll either nap or demand some more play time in which case I've got an abundance of chew toys and tug toys.

Pet care experience
I've lived in a house full of dogs for years so I feel more than qualified to handle a house full of your furry friends or a house with one. I've pet sat for friends and family so I know how important it is your dogs don't feel alone. Nowadays, even with the heat I'm a big fan of taking walks with my dogs. We're both fans of the exercise and I have a small wading pool as a treat after the walk. I normally take them early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun is not at its hottest to protect their feet.

Reviews
Communication was wonderful, and we really appreciated all the photos and updates. Both our dog and cat seemed very happy and well cared for. We would definitely book again!
Ida has always been incredible with my dogs! This is my second time having her watch my pups and I SO appreciate the peace of mind knowing my girls are taken care of when I’m away.
Ida was fantastic. She played in the yard, took our dog for two walks, and sent us updates and pictures along the way.
Ida was great, she was very attentive to my furry family member. Ida kept me well informed of how everything was progressing and my dog overall. I could not have asked for more.
