I absolutely love working with South Paw petting sitting. Each member of their team is qualified and insured. Each visit concludes with me getting a visit summary. Their website portal is easy to use and convenient. I have the peace of mind that I’ve put my dog in good hands!

Jackie and her team of animal care-givers have helped us to raise, walk, love, etc. all of our pets for more than the past 10 years. Our dogs and cats adore them, and we are so grateful. Her team never fails to show up for daily walks, they animal sit when we are out of town, and they do indoor play, brushings, etc after an animal surgery. Rain or show or shine, they are here. I have nothing but wonderful things to say. Thank you Jackie Pekar and SouthPaw team!!! :-) -Andrea Woll
