Pet care experience

I’ll soothe even the savage beast

I provide, as well as top-notch care,a uniquely adaptive music therapy session for your pet so that even the most high-strung pets can feel relaxed and reassured by the sound of live classical piano music. A professional musician,I have also raised a litter of 10 puppies and have owned at least one dog at every point in my life.I am a consummate pet lover with 2 dogs currently. If your animal is a bit of a loner I can provide sequestered accommodations. I have a 16 year old who also loves animals; she as well has never lived without a dog. One of her passions is horseback riding and through this activity she has achieved a gentle but commanding demeanor around most animals. Between the two of us your pet will never lack a playmate!

My dogs were with Nell for the first time for 2 nights, they came home very happy and tired! I can tell they were very comfortable in her home and we’d definitely book with her again!

Nell was super sweet with Tucker. She has watched him twice and both times he left happy and well taken care of this time. He even came home with a special bone treat from her.

Me and my daughter enjoy spending quality time with the pets. We are both more than willing to bring your dogs out for walks and playtime, and we find that many dogs enjoy listening to our music.

I like to know if your pet is aggressive with other animals, as my dogs are getting older. In addition, if there are any accommodations I can make that might minimize their separation anxiety, I like to know that.
