About Us


Netta Furry Babies was born out of a deep passion for dogs and a commitment to excellence in pet care. Founded by Johnette Wiggins in 2017, our journey began with a desire to provide the best for Jacksonville's fur babies. After overcoming challenges in grooming school and facing personal trials that strengthened her resolve, Johnette turned her love for animals into a thriving business. Netta Furry Babies has grown into a trusted name, known for offering luxury dog services that prioritize the overall well-being of your pets.

Our services include grooming, daycare, boarding,and much more, all designed to offer an unforgettable experience for your furry family members.
