I had given up on ever getting my small dog’s nails trimmed again without full sedation. Two different vets and three different grooming places had refused to trim my dog’s nails. He would contort his body and wouldn’t let anyone near his paws, despite months of us trying to condition him to let us touch his paws. I saw Ana mentioned on a neighborhood group and decided to reach out to her. She has a warm personality and I immediately felt at ease with her working with my dogs. The first time she visited, I had just asked for my big dog to have her nails trimmed. I mentioned the little dog’s issues, and she wanted to give it a try. Sure enough, with some tricks up her sleeve, we were able to get his nails trimmed! We have Ana come over regularly, about every 4 weeks. Each time, I marvel at how easy Ana makes it look to trim my little pup’s nails. He loves to have a game of tug of war with her after his nail trim, and she always obliges! My big dog doesn’t like people coming into the house, but warmly greets Ana at the door every time she arrives. Thank you Ana for accomplishing the seemingly impossible!

Ana has been the greatest! She's always available when I need an appointment and always knows what she's doing. Very happy to have come across her, I would recommend her to anyone. Much cheaper than the vet and pet services I've tried in the past too.

Ana is very knowledgeable and professional. I was hesitant to get my dogs nails trimmed because she does not like people and is very guarded. Ana handled what was once an uncomfortable process for my dog and made him very happy.

Ana is great! She came to my house prepared with all her supplies and was able to handle both of my kitties and one of them which can be a demon. She was able to easily trim their nails when even for me, was never possible. She's very knowledgeable too. I highly recommend her services.

Ana is awesome, it is so nice to not have to take my pug to the vet for services that Ana can now do for her in my house. She does an excellent job with my little girl. Highly recommend her!!!

I'm incredibly grateful for Ana! Trimming my cats' nails used to be such a struggle. They would put up a fight, and I always worried about hurting them. Ana makes the whole process stress-free. Scheduling with her is easy, and I love that she comes right to my home. She's quick, efficient, and gets the job done in under 10 minutes, all for a price that is more affordable than the local groomer. My cats seem so comfortable with her, her expertise with cats really shows.

Ana came by to cut my dogs nails, and it was such a delight to meet her. She did a great job and made the experience for my dog very comforting.

Ana does an excellent job with my Ragdoll cat cutting his nails, brushing his teeth, and trimming his hair. She is very fast and efficient.

We love Ana. She is so kind with the dogs and very gentle. You can tell she loves animals. I appreciate the tips she gives me on training a new puppy. She cared for my 16 year old who passed this summer, she is so good with all ages! I plan to have her do my poodle grooming needs.

I'll join the chorus of people recommending Ana Thompson for trimming dog claws! She was prompt and friendly and she successfully handled my difficult pups. Easy recommendation!

I highly recommend Vet Tech Ana Thompson. She is caring, competent, and very knowledgeable. She can coax my cat out of all hiding places and get my cat positioned as comfortably as possible to trim nails, clean teeth, or whatever is needed that day. She clearly loves pets!

Sometimes, when everything feels futile, it’s the kindness of strangers that lights the way forward. When I was homeless, struggling to survive day by day, I had Brooke, my guide dog, by my side—my loyal companion who kept me grounded. One day, I came across an ad on Nextdoor. Ana, a veterinary technician, was offering her expertise and care for animals, and she was mobile. I was barely hanging on, my GoFundMe running on fumes, but I knew I’d sacrifice anything for Brooke. To those who roll their eyes at people like me loving their animals fiercely—well, that’s an argument for another time. My heart told me I had to reach out to Ana, even if it meant stretching myself thinner than I already was. When I contacted her, Ana refused to take payment. Her kindness stunned me. Just as I was settling into my small apartment in October, Ana came to do Brooke’s nails. She refused payment. I was overwhelmed by her generosity, but now I see it wasn’t just a random act of kindness—it was her genuine care for animals and her empathy for what Brooke and I were enduring. Ana must understand, in her own way, what it feels like to be down and still fighting. Ana, I just want to take this moment to say thank you. Your compassion gave me hope at a time when I felt like giving up. You reminded me that there are people in this world who see others' struggles and step in to help, not for recognition or reward, but because they care. To you, Ana, I send all the positive energy I can muster. May life repay your kindness tenfold. Thank you for being the light we needed. Thank you for seeing us.

Ana came to our home and took care of our three Staffys. She bathed them, cleaned their anal glands, cut their nails and brushed their teeth. All three of our dogs were relaxed with her the entire service. They all had the zoomies that night. She is punctual, reliable, fun and has a true calling for working with animals. We will definitely be sticking with Ana for our grooming needs! Thank you Ana!
