Highlights
Pet care experience
on call animal lover!
I have been providing sensitive and loving care for animals since I was a child! I grew up taking care of my family's five dogs, walking/sitting/bathing my neighbor's wonderful Bichon Frisé, and taking care of my local cat rescue's kitties on their journeys to adoption. I currently have a very special black kitty and pet sit for friends/neighbors whenever needed! I deeply value spending time with animals, getting to know their unique qualities, and keeping them safe and comfortable. Friends and family have remarked that I form warm, trusting bonds with animals. It would be an honor to spend time with yours and give them the care they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment
I value that everyone has unique comfort levels and preferences regarding their pets and their homes. I am more than willing to keep you updated on how your pets are doing while they are in my care and to respect any special wishes you may have because I would want the same thing!
Ratings and reviews
Willa was great with my pup, Brie! She was a great communicator, sent pics each day, and followed all the instructions I left. I came home from my trip to a happy dog and my apartment looking exactly how I left it. Would definitely recommend Willa to anyone needing pet care!!!!
Willa has been cat-sitting for me for the last 2 and a half years and I can't speak highly enough of them and their care. Willa is attentive, reliable, and my cat loves them!
I highly recommend Willa Grifka as a pet caretaker. We have used Willa frequently over the past two years to housesit for extended periods of time during our domestic and overseas trips. We have a 12-year-old cat and a 6-year-old dog. Both pets eagerly greet Willa as they know they will be cared for with love, attention and nurturance. Both pets love human contact, and Willa loves pet contact, so I know that they both get plenty of petting, lap sitting and snuggling in chairs, couches and beds when we are away. We live in a suburban neighborhood, and our dog has plenty of doggy friends seen daily on walks. Many of our neighbors have offered unsolicited comments on how pleasant Willa is when our mutual dogs interact. Willa is also very conscientious and communicative, following directions and guidance regarding the home and the pets with compliant adherence. At times, this has involved giving eye drops and other medications to our cat which Willa administered without hesitation. The home and pets’ areas are kept tidy and clean during her stays. Willa is also honest and trustworthy which lets us relax while away, knowing all is safe and sound. As stated, Willa is also very communicative, which reassures us as we know they will reach out if indicated for any unforeseen issues with the home or pets. In summary, I highly recommend Willa as a pet caretaker, Feel free to reach out with any other questions or concerns-Liz Charney(847-975-9402, lizcharney@gmail.com)
