Music for pets

Pet care hits the right notes

A former executive assistant from Lindfield has taken her employment status into her own hands recently.
Arabella Beresford- Mitchell was made redundant from her job in London back in February but a friend encouraged her to think outside the box, to do something different and avoid the dreaded commute! So, over the summer, Arabella launched Toe Beans Pet Care.
“I grew up with various pets, including cats and dogs, and currently have three cats whom I adore,” she explained. “For me the best part of owning a dog are the walks.” This is one of the services she’ll be offering pet owners in the area. Arabella is also able to pop in to feed cats and dogs for the duration of a holiday, be a pet taxi service or even enable the pets to enjoy some music therapy.
With a degree in Classical Music (she more recently completed a Masters in Composing for Film & TV), Arabella knows that certain types of music can help pets calm down and relax. “My cats often fall asleep in my music studio whilst I am working,” she said, “and respond positively when I play guitar to them.”
If you are in need of a break and need someone to look after your cat or dog, or if your pet needs a break and wants to relax – Arabella could be worth a call! For more information see her advert on page 30 of Lindfield Life magazine or her website: www.toebeanspetcare.co.uk.
