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. When dogs regularly use their instincts in healthy ways, something powerful happens: they return home calmer, more confident, and deeply satisfied.
Behind every visit is a carefully trained professional team. Our 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 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!Posted on Tyana STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Praline’s Backyard Dog Services is on another level. This isn’t a cookie-cutter dog walking company — they actually teach your dog how to thrive. The updates, the enrichment, the love… it’s everything you could ask for and more.Posted on Nicole RoufsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this group of ladies! They are fantastic! My dog hasn't been the easiest for them either and they have all been fantastic! Super grateful!Posted on Stephanie GainesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Praline’s Backyard has made an exemplary difference in Whiskey’s life! He gets so excited knowing that he will have a fun filled learning experience. The service has been impeccable and as a new dog owner, I’ve learned so much and seen a great difference in the behavior of my beloved Whiskey! I recommend PB to any and everyone!Posted on Ashley ShepardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My sweet girl Remi has been participating in the Dog Wellness Challenge getting walks with Praline’s Backyard. This experience has been amazing. Remi has opened up and become more confident within herself within 3 weeks. She absolutely loves going for walks. Our walker, Wendy has been super great. She provides fun enrichment activities and even lets my other pup join in on some enrichment to help encourage Remi. We’ve really enjoyed this service and will continue work with them.Posted on Rhys HavensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 stars, hands down. When my 45 pound Pit Bull Dalmatian mix all the sudden started struggling to go to daycare during my work day I was very stressed. I wasn’t sure what other options I had. When I googled dog walking services in my area, I must have looked at 10+. When I found Praline’s, I was instantly interested. From the informative website to a quick response when I reached out, I was impressed. Having the support of the Praline’s team to look after my pup for a couple of months now has been a life changer. No more battling Atlanta traffic to drop off or pick up on time and no more separation anxiety meltdowns. I know my pup is in good hands and they are very communicative. Every dollar is worth it and I’ve never felt pushed to spend more. It’s clear they care about the “client” as both the person and your animal. If you’re on the fence, reach out to speak with the team. Pictures are screenshots of “report cards” that you receive after each walk. The blacked-out square covers a map feature to see the route your walker took.Posted on Jessica DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Orazie and her team are so professional and sweet! They made me feel so at ease and their level of service is unmatched! Can’t recommend them enough. Ari is so much happier when she gets her walk.
