Our services
In-home Pet Sitting
Some pets thrive where their paws already know the floorboards; in the comfort of their own home. Our in-home pet sitting offers gentle, thoughtful care while you’re away, from feedings and walks to mail collection and house checks. More than sitters, we’re quiet companions — moving at your pet’s pace, offering calm presence, playful breaks, and all the little things that keep a home humming in your absence. So you can leave, knowing love stayed behind.
Dog Walks
Each dog has a rhythm all their own — a tempo found in every wag, sniff, and step. Our walks are never rushed. They’re quiet explorations, joyful trots, curious wanderings. Whether your pup prefers a breezy neighborhood stroll or a lively romp through the park, we match their pace, honor their needs, and meet them where they are. Because to us, a walk isn’t just a walk; it’s time well-spent, leash in hand, heart open.
Wedding Day Dog Chaperones
Your love story wouldn’t have been complete without them — we know, because ours wasn’t either. When we got married, having our dogs by our side was essential. Beautiful. And also… hard. Between the joy and the chaos, we had no one to help; no one to hold the leash while we held each other. That’s why this offering means so much to us. With our wedding day dog chaperone service, your dog can be part of the celebration — without the stress. From potty breaks to aisle walks, photo ops to post-vow snuggles, we’ll be there to care for them while you say I do. Your forever includes them too.
About us
If you are wondering why the name, Waltzing Willow, it’s because we wanted a name that moved. That swayed. The willow represents flexibility, grace, and resilience… like so many of the animals we have met. They bend, but do not break.
Waltzing is a gentle nod to a lifelong love —to dance, and the rhythm once believed to shape the road ahead. But the steps began to change, guided by something quieter, deeper. What began as one dream softened into another; not lesser, only truer. One that had always lived beneath the surface, quietly taking root. It is the heart of a dream still unfurling.
We currently offer in-home pet sitting, dog walks, and wedding-day dog chaperoning, with full-service boarding and a dedicated animal rescue already in the works. Every step is guided by love and quiet purpose, gently shaping a space where animals are safe, seen, and deeply cherished. It is the rhythm we move to, and the heart behind the name, Waltzing Willow.
Waltzing Willow is licensed and insured, and services Lake Oswego, West Linn, and other areas. All consultations are in person and typically take 15 to 30 minutes.
