Hello From Paws With Claws!

- Where your pet is loved and cared for with a passion -

About Us

Paws with Claws is a Cage-less, low stress grooming salon as well as a luxury dog boarding, daycare, and training facility right next door!

Our mission statement: A passionate and devoted team who provide a science informed, safe, fun and caring environment while offering grooming, daycare, and boarding services for your pets!

 

We have a team of wonderful groomers, Vlada, Jasmine, and Natalie as well as our bathers, Noah and Alana who are all happy to help take care of your pets!

Our salon offers a cage-less, no rush environment with grooming etiquette training during the groom to help ensure that future grooms will stay a success! Additionally we have a backyard area for dogs to go potty and get some energy out!

 

There is a fenced in backyard area to encourage good potty habits and eliminate potty anxiety and stress for those who don't want to have an accident inside! All dogs in boarding and daycare are also encouraged to potty outside.

Our unique open room boarding offers a great choice for dogs that don't need a private space and prefer the presence of a person and other pups when they sleep at night after a long day of daycare and training.

The VIP grooming room is a private room for cats and shy dogs that is separate from the main grooming room and quiet, let us know if you need to utilize it!

Vlada Markov (Owner)

I have been grooming while in high school at Mountain Pointe Class of 2017 and graduated in May 2021 from ASU. I have a bachelor's double major Biological Sciences (Neuroscience, Behavior, and Physiology) and Psychology with a business minor. I actively participated/assisted with the Canine Science Collaboratory, traveling, running experiments, and leading a project at a local shelter. These experiments were mostly psychological and occasionally included taking urine and fecal samples to test cortisol levels for the welfare of the animals and data on our program implementations at shelters or with owned pets.
 

I started out in 2014 as a self taught groomer and have also groomed at a Corporate salon, receiving extra training there after about 2 years of self taught work. I continue to learn and attend further education seminars and events My main concern is the health and well-being of your pet. I am happy to be running the salon and pet resort and am confident you and your pet will love us!
