Through personalized memorial options and a commitment to transparent, ethical care, we strive to bring comfort and peace to our community during this difficult time.

Owner/Operator

Jake Trotter

With a background in veterinary medicine, Jake has spent many hours caring for animals and supporting the families who love them. Through that experience, one truth became clear: saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of pet ownership—and it deserves the same care and compassion as every other stage of life. Driven by this belief, Jake founded Palmetto State Pet Services to ensure pets are treated with dignity, even after they’ve passed.
