Beata is amazing. She is so patient and loving with my older sheltie, and is remarkably efficient in getting through the thick coat of my younger sheltie. Today she really outdid herself, though. My daughter's dog, who is a rescue and super reactive and also mats super easily, desperately needed a professional grooming. After two failed attempts at some local groomers in recent weeks, I asked Beata if she could fit Maisy in. She called with an opening, spent two and a half hours tenderly and patiently bathing and grooming Maisy, and apparently, the only time she got attitude was for the nail trim! Beata is truly wonderful; Maisy can get freaked out very easily and takes a while to warm up to strangers, and apparently, she was literally eating out of Beata's hand. Meanwhile, my older dog, when stressed, has small seizures so I've been doing a terrible job of grooming him to reduce his stress level the past 8 months. Sadly, he was a mess beyond my skill level so I called Beata to save the day, and boy, did she ever! Beata was so gentle and loving to him, he made it through his bath and grooming and was so so happy to be clean and gorgeous again. Beata has been my partner in keeping my shelties coats gorgeous for several years now and I can't imagine what we'd do without her! read more
