About

A Better Way to Care for Your Dog

We know it’s a big deal to let someone into your home and care for your dog. That’s why at Praline’s Backyard Dog Services, we do things differently—safe, personal, and always with your dog’s happiness in mind.

Your dog gets one-on-one care—never a group walk, and never visit a dog park. Just your trusted team member and your dog, every time.

We’re Fear Free Certified, which means we’re trained to spot fear, anxiety, and stress—and use gentle techniques to help your dog feel safe, calm, and happy.

We’re insured through Business Insurers of the Carolinas, and every team member is bonded.  That means we’re backed by real protection—for your home, your dog, and your peace of mind.

Most people think of dog walks as JUST a dog walk.  We do more than that we develop a care plan that includes fun, sniffing, brain games, and play that delves into the instinctive nature of your dog. These things aren’t extra—they’re the core of what we do. That’s called enrichment, and it helps your dog feel calm, fulfilled, and happy.

After every visit, we’ll send you:
Photos and videos
A report card
Potty and behavior notes

First, we’ll have a virtual chat to learn about your dog and your routine. Then, we come meet your dog in person before any walks start. You’ll show us where the leash is, how to lock up, and what helps your dog feel safe.

We know it’s a big deal to let someone into your home to care for your dog.


At Praline’s Backyard Dog Services, we treat your home and dog like they’re our own.
