About Lisa Spector
In 2017, after 10 years of creating music to relieve pet anxiety, NPR called Lisa Spector ‘The Pet Calming Maestro’. “While I didn’t graduate from Juilliard to perform for dogs and cats, it warms my heart and feeds my soul to use my music talents to help improve the lives of our beloved pets.” Lisa’s piano playing is currently soothing anxiety in dogs in over 1,500 shelters and rescue organizations worldwide. The “Music in Shelters” program was inspired by her volunteer work with Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA in The San Francisco Bay Area. As co-founder of Through a Dog’s Ear and the pianist on the music series, she’s appeared on the CBS Early Show, NPR, and CBS Australia, and is honored to be the only classical pianist to reach Billboard’s Classical Top 20 Chart with pet music.
