That is how we build a routine that actually works — for your dog and for your life.

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!
