As Atlanta’s only membership only private Dog Walking company, we bring years of expertise and dedication to prioritizing your dog’s well-being. Our enrichment-based approach to dog care is customized to meet your dog's physical, mental, and instinctual needs, ensuring they lead happy, fulfilled lives while strengthening the bond between dogs and their families.
Our approach to dog care goes far beyond a quick walk around the block. Each visit is designed to engage the many ways dogs experience the world — through movement, scent, exploration, problem-solving, and purposeful interaction. Some days your dog may follow an interesting trail of smells along the sidewalk. Other days they may search for treats hidden in the grass, practice balance on natural surfaces, or work through a simple puzzle that encourages curiosity and focus. These moments of exploration engage the different forms of enrichment dogs naturally seek — physical activity, scent work, foraging, mental challenges, and environmental discovery. As part of our membership, your dog also receives four enrichment activities or games each month, thoughtfully rotated to include our Enrichment Toy of the Month, so they are continually experiencing something new and engaging. When dogs regularly use their instincts in healthy ways, something powerful happens: they are happier, more confident, and deeply satisfied.
Behind every visit is a carefully trained professional team. Our Canine Enrichment Specialists ( dog walkers) are dedicated employees who earn a living wage and receive ongoing education in canine behavior, safety, and enrichment practices. Each team member is thoroughly screened, professionally trained, and certified so you can trust that your dog is always in capable and compassionate hands.

Praline’s Backyard helps Atlanta dogs settle into routines that support their bodies, their minds, and the rhythm of their family’s life. Our care is designed around a membership approach that makes it easy to build consistency for your dog. Families typically choose between our Starter routine of 8 visits, our Balanced routine of 20 visits, or Unlimited visits for dogs who benefit from support throughout the day.
Visits are flexible and can be used in the way that best supports your dog’s week. Members use them for private enrichment-based walks or a mix of dog taxi visits to the groomer or veterinarian, or to complement a day of structured daycare. We recommend a select few Atlanta daycares that focus on thoughtful engagement rather than simply letting dogs run freely all day.
Seeing your dog regularly allows our team to truly know them — their pace, their instincts, their energy levels, and how their behavior changes over time. Dogs who experience predictable routines and familiar caregivers often become calmer and more confident. Each visit is tailored to your dog’s needs that day. Some dogs benefit from slow, grounding walks. Others need time to sniff, explore, and engage their natural instincts. Senior dogs may enjoy gentle movement and extra patience.
Your dog is cared for by a dedicated team of Fear Free trained employees, not a rotating app walker. The same professionals build a relationship with your dog over time, so you never have to start from scratch with someone new. During every visit, you receive real-time updates, photos, and care notes, so you always know how your dog is doing. Members also gain access to pet sitting and dog field trips, giving your dog opportunities for new experiences while keeping their routine consistent. Our goal is simple: thoughtful, reliable dog care that keeps your dog fulfilled and gives you peace of mind throughout your day.

Posted on Dean FurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worth every penny. We've been using Pralines the last few months after our older dog walker retired and could not be more pleased. Very responsive, easy to navigate app to book services, top-notch customer service, we (and our dogs) could not be happier.Posted on Lew WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a fantastic experience with Praline’s Backyard! Their professionalism and true dedication to pet care really stood out to me. I had to head out of town for a trip, and Orazie (the Founder, CEO and president) completely put my mind at ease. She personally made sure my dog was taken care of from start to finish, no stress and no worries on my end at all. She picked him up right from my home, safely transported him to his boarding facility, and even kept me updated with the cutest pictures and little updates about his journey. What really impressed me was that she did the exact same thing on the return, picking him up and bringing him safely back home. The entire process was seamless, easy, and honestly such a relief while I was traveling. You can tell she truly cares, and that level of attention and dedication means everything when it comes to our pets. I highly recommend Praline’s Backyard for any pet services, especially if you need a reliable pet taxi, dog walking, or just someone you can truly trust with your furry family member!Posted on Dana RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This service has blessed me and my dog Louie so much. I know they care for my dog and they take care of him. He loves to see them coming and I appreciate them leaning in especially when I’m traveling. Thank you so much! Please consider using this service - you won’t be disappointed.Posted on Erin McConochaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wendy has been the absolute best. Our dog Bruce loves her so much and we feel so safe knowing she is taking such good care of him. He has tons of energy and we are still working on some training with him, but she lets us know that she appreciates his quirks and makes him feel so loved! She also sends tons of amazing photos and detailed notes that tell us a story about his time spent with her - reading them and looking through the photos are my favorite part of the day when I’m away from Bruce. We truly cannot recommend her enough!Posted on Olivia WithemTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. this company is spreading extremely harmful and false information on a connection between dogs pulling and how many walks they go on just to promote their business and in turn is making dog owners feel guilty and think they’re being harmful to their dog. what a terrible way to promote a business…..Posted on Victoria ShoreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My boyfriend and I have loved working with pralines - they make our long hours at work stress-free about the dogs. Wendy is so great with our pups, they love all the attention and enrichment activities, and I love her thoughtful visit summaries. This service is easy to use and easy to recommend!Posted on Alexis BellmoffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Praline’s Backyard has been absolutely amazing to my dog, Arlo! Wendy is our main walker and she’s truly the best. Everyone else we’ve worked with has also been lovely, and their communication and updates are always great. Their taxi service to and from daycare has been such a lifesaver this holiday season, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing Arlo is in such good hands. We’re so grateful for Praline’s Backyard and can’t recommend them enough!Posted on Marissa SteinbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Praline’s Backyard has been amazing for us and our dog Luna since we moved to the area earlier this year. I never have to worry about coverage and I know our girl is always taken care of 5x per week. I appreciate the communication and the pictures/ recaps after each daily walk are next level detailed! You can tell everyone on staff puts a lot of time into them and we appreciate it. We’ve had zero issues and I highly highly recommend for all of your dog walking needs.Posted on Joann Wu ShorttTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re so glad to be part of the Praline Backyard community! Orazie and the team were wonderful with our five rescue pets. They took the time to get to know our senior dog and follow her lead on walks, and they paid close attention to the different meal routines for our dog and cats. Their professionalism, kindness, and thoughtfulness made all the difference. Highly recommend!Posted on Tamika HayesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best dog service in Atlanta!! Paws down!! I use their services and the level of professionalism that Ryan provides is what is missing with a lot of companies today. . Ryan goes above and beyond. He took care of my two big dogs during a crazy work week, and he not only handled them beautifully but even washed their water bowls and tidied up the entryway. Small details like that show how much he cares. My dogs adore him, and so do I! I’m not sure if it’s part of the training he received or just who he is but I’m grateful for him and Praline’s Backyard!
