Anastasia's Paws and Minds Academy

We absolutely love and appreciate Anastasia and all she does to ensure our dog Maverick is safe and cared for as though he's her own anytime we've boarded him with her. She provides great communication, sends photo updates, and our dog is always incredibly excited to arrive there to see her and whichever dog friends will be there at that time. Anastasia not only understands what it takes to care for our dog, but she truly goes above and beyond and understands him individually at a deeper level. As a dog owner it's so hard to find reliable and consistent care where you feel relaxed and comforted to leave your furry family member with, but Anastasia has done just that and earned our trust (and Maverick's!) time and time again. It's such a breath of fresh air to be able to go on vacation knowing we don't have to stress or worry about him knowing he's with Anastasia. On top of that, she's basically a magician when it comes to dogs and behavior :) Maverick doesn't really like his paws touched and trimming his nails is difficult for us or our vet to do, but she assured us with her new grooming set up and her relationship with him, she was confident she could do it. Sure enough, in his last two visits, she had him trained to hold his paws out for her with ease and even enjoying a blowdry after a nice bath! It's a great perk and hugely appreciated to have the softest, cuddliest, and best smelling dog coming home with us at the end of another great stay with Anastasia by being able to tack on the going home bath and nail trim. Highly recommend Anastasia and not sure what we'd do without her!
