About your groomer
Hi, I'm Anastasiia — nice to meet you & your pet!
I'm a pet groomer from Ukraine, now happily grooming in Moncton, Canada. For me grooming is not a conveyor belt — it's a quiet, one-on-one time where your pet feels safe and leaves looking their very best.

My story
From a childhood love of animals to my own salon
I’ve always been the person every dog runs to at a party. In 2019 I turned that love into a profession and completed my grooming training in Ukraine, where I worked in a busy salon and learned everything from breed-standard cuts to the most stubborn mats.
Busy salons taught me one important thing: pets are calmer when they’re not surrounded by other barking dogs and noisy dryers. So when I moved to Canada, I built my work around one-on-one grooming — one pet, one groomer, from start to finish.
Today I welcome dogs and cats in my calm salon on Mountain Road in Moncton. Many of my clients are anxious, senior or on their very first groom — and seeing them relax on the table is my favourite part of the job.

How I work
Calm, gentle & detail-oriented
The three words in my Instagram bio aren't a slogan — they're how every groom goes.
Gentle
Fear-free handling, low-noise dryers for sensitive pets and lots of praise. I'll never force a pet through a groom that scares them.
Detail-oriented
Even ears, round faces, clean paws and neat lines. I check skin, ears and nails every visit and let you know if I notice anything.

Step by step
Your pet's journey through the salon
Wondering what happens after you drop them off? Here's every step.
1
Arrival & sniff-around 5 min
Your dog explores the quiet salon, gets a treat and meets me. We chat about the style, any sore spots and their personality.
2
Coat & skin check 5 min
I check for mats, hot spots, fleas, ears and nails so there are no surprises — and tell you if anything needs a vet's look.
3
Pre-brush & nails 15 min
Loose fur and tangles come out first, then nails are trimmed and paw pads tidied while your dog is still dry and relaxed.
4
Warm spa bath 20–30 min
Two rounds of shampoo matched to the coat, conditioner and a gentle massage. Ears cleaned, eyes and face washed with tear-free products.
5
Fluff-dry by hand 20–45 min
A careful hand blow-dry while brushing straight — this is the secret to that soft, fluffy finish. Never a cage dryer.
6
Haircut & styling 30–90 min
Clipper and scissor work to the look you asked for: teddy face, puppy cut, breed trim or a short summer shave.
7
Bandana, photos & pick-up The best part
A spritz of pet cologne, a bandana or bow, a photo shoot at the flower wall — and I text you that your star is ready.
1
Dog-free, quiet start Private slot
Cats get a dedicated appointment with no dogs in the salon. Your cat can stay in the carrier until they're ready to come out.
2
Gentle check-up 5 min
I look at the coat, mats, skin, claws and ears and agree with you on the plan — bath, comb-out or lion cut.
3
Claws & de-matting 15–30 min
Claws are trimmed first, then mats are carefully worked out or clipped close to protect delicate skin.
4
Calm bath 15 min
Warm water, low pressure and a cat-safe shampoo. Many cats are surprised how relaxing it is!
5
Towel & quiet dry 20–40 min
Lots of towelling and a low-noise dryer on a gentle setting, with breaks whenever needed.
6
Comb-out or lion cut 20–40 min
A full comb-out for a silky, tangle-free coat, or a neat lion cut with a fluffy mane and tail tip.
7
Back to the carrier Home time
A treat, a bow if they'll allow it, and a text to you that your cat is fresh and ready to go home.
