“We began booking consistent weekday walks with Sammie and Jorge, and the difference in our dog has been remarkable. The structure and exercise have brought such calm to our evenings, and we’ve noticed real improvement in leash manners and overall behavior.

They are dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in our dog’s well-being. It’s comforting knowing he gets dedicated attention even on our busiest days.

We highly recommend Waltzing Willow for anyone looking for reliable, professional daily dog walking.”

Confidential Client

“I had the pleasure of hiring Sammie and The Dog's Tale to look after our dog, cat and home while we were away, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Sammie demonstrated a level of professionalism and care that exceeded my expectations. From the moment we discussed the arrangements, Sammie was organized, punctual, and very attentive to all the details. Sammie took excellent care of our pets and home, ensuring that everything was maintained just as I had left it. I returned to a spotless house, with all tasks I requested, handled impeccably. Communication throughout my time away was clear and timely. Sammie provided updates and promptly responded to any questions or concerns I had, which gave me great peace of mind while away. I highly recommend Sammie and The Dog's Tale to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy house sitter. I would not hesitate to hire The Dog's Tale again in the future.”

Anne Furniss

“If you’re looking for professional, dependable, next-level dog walkers, this is it.

The regular walks have made a noticeable difference in our dog’s behavior and happiness. Sammie and Jorge are reliable, communicative, and clearly love what they do. We’re so grateful to have found them.”

The Rudolph family.

"We cannot recommend Sammie & Jorge enough as trustworthy house sitters and caretakers to our fur babies! We have used them for in-home house sitting multiple times over the last 5 years to watch over our mostly blind senior cat and 2 large-breed rescue dogs that need long walks. They have wonderful communication and send adorable pictures and videos of our pets while in their care, and it is obvious that all our animals absolutely adore them (our grumpy doesn’t even let me pick him up, but loves when Jorge picks him up for cuddles) Upon our return we have always found our house to be clean and well kept- often cleaner than we left it! We are so grateful to have found a trusted, dependable source for pet care which allows us to travel stress-free knowing our fur babies, home, and even our house plants are being well taken care of in our absence. I am happy to serve as a reference and answer any questions one might have as a prospective client!"

Brittany Herbert

“We started booking regular walks with Sammie and Jorge, and it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our dog.

The consistency alone has made such a difference, calmer evenings, better leash manners, and a much happier pup overall. They’re reliable, thoughtful, and truly care.

If you’re on the fence about adding walks to your routine, do it. It’s absolutely worth it.”

The Bennett family

“I have been a long time client of Sammie and Jorge. My Great Pyrenees Bria and my funny Siamese cat Jack were in need of in home care while I traveled. They were senior animals and needed extra care. Medications, feeding schedules and of course like all animals someone to understand their unique behaviors. I definitely got that with Sammie and Jorge. Their knowledge is one thing, but their compassion and love for all living beings (including the parents of said animals) is what shines through most. They are trusted and reliable!”

Tami Traeden

“We had the pleasure of having Samantha stay overnight in our home on a couple of occasions to watch our greyhound and two cats. She sent us update photos while we were away and she clearly bonded in a short period of time with our elderly greyhound which made us very comfortable and able to enjoy our time away from home. We would recommend Samantha to anyone who wants to be able to actually enjoy themselves when they leave their animals. She can handle large, challenging dogs who get up during the night to be let out to pee, as well as needy-yet-obnoxious cats.”

David B. Loder

“Sammie and Jorge at Waltzing Willow is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever had. Our two bulldogs were loved spoiled and cared for as if they were part of her own family. The updates and communication were amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We joked that our dogs might not want us to come home because of how well they were treated. If you are looking for someone who truly loves animals and goes above and beyond this is it. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely.”

Jacqueline Gores

“We initially reached out for occasional overnight care, but incorporating consistent weekday walks with Sammie and Jorge has truly transformed our dog’s routine.

The structure of midday walks has brought more balance to his days, calmer evenings, improved leash manners, and an overall happier temperament. It’s incredible what intentional, reliable exercise can do.

Sammie and Jorge are professional, attentive, and deeply invested in the dogs they care for. We have complete peace of mind knowing our pup receives dedicated time, movement, and thoughtful attention,even on our busiest days.

Choosing regular walks has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our dog.”

The Larson Family

“Everyone expects their pet sitter to show up on time, follow the (ahem, extensive) feeding instructions, send photos, and, above all, show affection to one’s beloved furball. Only, they don't. Most petsitters neglect the basics of the job and fail at basic reliability. After a while, people with pets begin to expect less – until they get pet care from Sammie and Jorge. Not only does this delightful duo succeed at all of the essentials, they blow a pet parent's mind by including extra check-ins and thoughtful questions regarding a paw pal’s every need. After sub-par pet sitters have been the norm – with the occasional nightmare (Where did that whole case of wine go?) – it is a relief to come across the superstars of The Waltzing Willow. All I can say is, dance on you beautiful, capable, and caring human beings because we need you.”

Haan and Daley family

“They are truly fantastic! Our pets are our family, and leaving them in the most capable hands is so important to us. Sammi went above and beyond to care for our pets and provide reassurance that our pets enjoyed their vacation as well!”

Furniss family

“Sammie and George were incredibly loving, patient and attentive with our older tripod Luke. They kept us updated daily and shared photos of our beautiful boy.”

Eaton family.

“Sammie is a FANTASTIC pet sitter, and we are very happy with the services provided by Waltzing Willow! Sammie takes great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats whenever we are out of town. She is so caring with the animals, spends tons of time with them, and sends us the best pictures and videos with every visit! Everything is taken care of incredibly well, and her attention to details is fantastic. We always come home to content, relaxed animals and a clean house.... we couldn't ask for a better pet sitter!!”

Lori Steele

“Literally the BEST pet services we've ever received. We have trusted Sam and George for years to not only walk our (large and sometimes challenging) pups multiple times a week, but also to stay in our home and take care of our fur family any time we've gone out of town. We've never had pet care where our fur family not only trusts, but loves seeing our pet sitters as much as Sam & George. They are communicative, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable. We highly recommend Waltzing Willow! ❤️”

Passon family.

“Pet parents — look no further! We worked with Sammie and Jorge during our wedding to help make our beloved pup part of our big day. They truly made it not only possible, but easy every step of the way. They took time out to meet our girl ahead of time, went above and beyond, communicated throughout, and kept us totally at ease. They both have a special gift with animals, and I truly cannot recommend them enough!”
