I’ll soothe even the savage beast

Pet care experience

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!

Nell's place is a dog's paradise! Sunny does not say much about her visits, but she returned happy, healthy and well fed.

Nell was great! You can tell she and her daughter both genuinely care about animals and treated my Remi like he was one of their own. I will definitely book again!

Information Nell S. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

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.
