Anastasia's Paws and Minds Academy

My dog absolutely loves staying with Anastasia. We moved out-of-state for a few years, and when we returned, he completely remembered and tail-wagged when he realized he would be staying with her again. She provides a safe, comfortable environment and with such loving care. He is always so happy and stress-free when I drop him off and when I pick him up. Anastasia is also very professional, well-organized and responsive, and sends lots of great photos! Very much appreciate that he's in good hands and highly recommend!

I've had the opportunity to see firsthand how Anastasia interacts with the dogs in her care, and it's obvious how much she genuinely loves what she does. She has a calm, patient approach and takes the time to understand each dog's personality and needs rather than treating every dog the same. Whether she's working with her own dogs or boarding someone else's, she creates an environment where the dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. You can tell she puts a tremendous amount of thought, knowledge, and heart into everything she does. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your dog—whether for boarding or training—I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anastasia's Paws and Minds Academy. It's clear that every dog she works with is treated like family.

We are so glad we found Anastasia! After spending lots of time and money on different training programs, we feel that she is the first trainer who actually understands our dog. She has taught us so much in our training sessions and we feel completely comfortable boarding our dog with her. It’s not often that you feel likely to someone other than you truly appreciates your dog, but with Anastasia, I’ve never doubted it!
