Today, The Pet Lady continues that tradition with a trained team of professional dog walkers who are passionate about what they do. From daily walks to cat care, we’re proud to provide the kind of thoughtful service that helps pets stay happy and pet parents feel confident.

OUR FOUNDATION IS SIMPLE:

“I’m so thankful my dog has The Pet Lady team & the Adventure Walks!”

We started using The Pet Lady a couple months ago when we moved away from the city. They recently started Adventure Walks and my dog loves going on these long walks with Missy through the forest preserve! And I love it because I know my dog is well taken care of and is getting his energy out while we are at work.
