“Took my 20 Month old Maine Coon cat Cleo to see Jemma. I was a bit unsure as I had never her groomed before so wasnt sure what to expect and how Cleo would be. Jemma was great explained everything in detail with what she was going to do and how she was going to do it.”
“Jemma did an amazing job grooming my Springer Spaniel, Norman. She is so patient, friendly and clearly has a real love for the animals she looks after. Norman came back looking so smart, smelling lovely and most importantly, he was happy and relaxed.”
“Zeus' first ever groom at just over 1 year old - I've been too nervous previously as he doesn't enjoy being brushed, bathed, or having his paws or face touched. Jemma had him in for the nervous dog package and amazingly she got so much further with him than I thought possible”
“Throughout her stay, Jemma kept us updated with cute pictures, which was so reassuring. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and honestly, I think she would've stayed longer if she could!”
“Claude is not patient with me when brushing so I knew it's time for professional help. … Jemma explained everything and made him feel very comfortable.”
“We took our double-coated dog, Finn, for a groom with Jemma at Doggylicious - as it was shedding season! Jemma did a wonderful job, super professional and listened to what we did/did not want”
