Information Ida S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements so that I can ensure the best quality care for your pet. It would also be helpful to know if I should watch for any behaviours (i.e. with other dogs on walks etc)

A typical day

Your pet and I will explore the neighbourhood, play stimulating games and there will be lots of scratches. Let me know if there are any activities they particularly enjoy (Nala loves to play catch).

Pet care experience

I have had and taken care of dogs my entire life. I currently have a standard poodle, Nala, who is featured on my profile! She is a very high energy dog and suffers from an ear condition. I have experience administering medication to dogs, as well as dealing with breed sensitivities and specific needs. My goal is to always ensure a safe, fun environment for your pet. Nala’s brother, Max, unfortunately passed away last year, but I have experience caring for multiple dogs of varying sizes at once, including walks!

Thanks Ida, for taking such great care of our dog Cedar! We received many lovely photos and updates, and Cedar came home happy and tired from all of her outdoor adventures with Ida and her pup Nala. We would highly recommend Ida to anyone looking for safe, dependable care.

Ida is reliable and a great communicator. I appreciate her detailed updates and she won the hearts of my cat and my skeptical, elderly Shiba Inu.
