Pet care experience

Everyday is a play day!

At Jemma’s friends, we treat all your loving fur babies as one of our own! Working at a daycare/ training facility for numerous years has given me the skills to keep your pet safe and happy! I have two large breeds (Saint Bernard and a Newfoundland) that love all their friends here! As long as your pet is social, they can play with a group of pups, or enjoy a bed and some toys. Will do in home visits and help with the other indoor as well as outdoor pets. I will also bring your pet to vet visits, groomer and wherever else they need to go! Any other question, please feel free to ask! I have multiple references upon request. We love our furry friends!

Melissa is wonderful. Our 3 year old bernedoodle spent a week with her during spring break. She got to do exactly what she loves to do — play outside with other dogs! Melissa has a large fenced in yard. She sent us frequent updates and videos, and communicating with her was very easy. She was super flexible on accommodating any requests related to feeding, sleeping arrangements, whatever. We will definitely use her again.

Melissa is family to Cannoli. He is always so excited to see her and so full of energy and in an excellent mood when we pick him up. We know Melissa takes care of him as good if not better than us!
