Bonded, insured, and CPR-certified pet sitters and daily dog walkers serving Sumner County since 2010. Every visit GPS-verified. Every pet treated like our own.
"Kathy and her team make leaving town actually possible. The daily photo updates are pure peace of mind."
After thirty years caring for her own rescue Standard Poodles and a long career in country music, Kathy Jarrell founded Southern Paws in 2010 around a simple conviction: pets are happiest, healthiest, and least stressed when they stay in their own homes.
Today, Southern Paws is the trusted in-home pet care partner for more than a thousand Sumner County families. Every staff member is background-checked, fully trained, bonded, insured, and CPR-certified — because the families who let us into their homes deserve nothing less.
I've spent thirty years making sure every animal in my care is loved and treated as my own. That standard hasn't changed in fifteen years of business — and it never will. Kathy Jarrell, Founder
