A visit every day — a real walk plus enrichment matched to what your dog is actually wired for: scent work, foraging, problem-solving. The things that tire a dog's brain and not just their legs. Zero missed walks in 6+ years.
Intown Atlanta only
Every Single Visit
A walk moves your dog's body. Enrichment uses their instincts — sniffing, foraging, problem-solving. Every visit does both, with a new activity each month.
A fulfilled dog, not just a tired one.
Your timeslot is held and your care team is assigned. Vet at 2 and you can't leave work? We drive them. Flight delayed? Text us — we're with your dog by 6.
Travel or work without the guilt.
Photos, video, GPS and a written update after every walk — what they did, how they were, and anything that seemed off.
Always know how your dog is doing.

We’ve been using Praline’s Backyard since Feb 2026 and can’t say enough good things. First and foremost, every single walker is incredibly loving, kind, and patient with our dogs. I feel like they treat them with the love and care they treat their own dogs. We have cameras, and whenever I have rewatched a clip, I am always so impressed. It’s clear that the dog walkers are vetted and trained carefully. They even did a few visits at the tail-end of my puppy recovering from major emergency surgery, and they were so careful and incredible with her. On the more logistical side, they are extremely communicative and the owner is so responsive. I love the app they use because it notifies me when they arrive for a walk, leave, and all walkers leave great after-visit notes with some of the most amazing pictures and videos. I also love that I can see a GPS map of where they walked and that they can message me when they’re with her in case anything comes up. I think they are worth every penny and highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

Orazie and her team at Praline's Backyard Dog Services are truly exceptional. I have four fur babies, each with a big personality, and they care for them as if they were their own. Knowing my dogs are in such loving and capable hands allows me to travel with complete peace of mind and fully enjoy vacations with my family. Not only do they make sure my pets are well cared for, but they also spend quality time with them, playing with them outside and giving them the attention and exercise they need. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. What impresses me most is their reliability and flexibility. On more than one occasion, I've had unexpected family emergencies that required me to leave town on short notice. Even when reaching out through the app at the last minute, Orazie and her team have gone above and beyond to accommodate my pets' needs. Another thing I greatly appreciate is the respect they show for my home. Every time I return, my house is clean, organized, and left exactly as I left it. That level of care and professionalism gives me even greater confidence in their services. Their compassion, dedication, and attention to detail are unmatched. I am incredibly grateful for the care they provide and highly recommend Orazie and her team to anyone looking for trustworthy, dependable, and loving pet care. Thank you for your amazing care and service -BrittanyPosted on Google![]()

I came in on a promo and had the best experience! Orazie started off with my dog Milo until he got use to the new routine where he was then introduced to a new walker! Both were amazing. Milo enjoy his daily walks, puzzle time, and all the love and attention when I was away at work. Definitely saw a difference in his behavior and overall seemed like a much happier dog. They take pictures and send a daily report of your walk and all the activities they did….loved the updates and the cute pictures. Unfortunately, I moved out of the city, so wasn’t able to keep up with the service. But when I do move back in the area this is the dog service I would definitely use again and I highly recommend them if you’re curious about adding some extra fun to your dogs routine.Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend Orazie and Praline’s Backyard Dog Services! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with my dog. Her communication is excellent, always keeping me updated and giving me peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and I trust her completely with my pup. Thank you for the outstanding care!Posted on Google![]()

The Praline’s team has been great to work with from our initial background meeting through our weekly walking services. They are super attentive to our pups needs who can be anxious, and they do everything they can to make him feel safe and comfortable. We love to see post-walk pictures and videos from Michael who has become one of our pups best friends in just a short time.Posted on 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 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 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 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.
Inside a visit
Enrichment is a word that gets used a great deal and explained almost never. Here is the real answer, and the framework underneath it.
Some days it's a trail of smells down the sidewalk, followed at your dog's pace instead of ours. Other days it's treats hidden in the grass to hunt out, a low wall to balance along, a puzzle to work through, or ten quiet minutes of settling in the shade because that's the harder skill for your dog.
Your specialist also reinforces what you're working on at home. Sit at the curb. Loose leash past the dog that barks. We use the words you use, so your dog isn't learning two sets of rules from two sets of people.
The THRIVE framework
Enrichment isn't one thing, and a dog who gets plenty of one kind can still be missing another entirely. We work from six, and we profile every dog against all of them.
Sniff walks, scent games, new textures and sounds. A dog takes in most of the world through their nose, and most walks never let them use it.
Coordination, body awareness, and movement matched to their build and their age. What a young shepherd needs is not what a twelve-year-old needs.
Foraging, licking, chewing. The things dogs are built to do all day and almost never get to do in a house.
Puzzles, nose work, problem solving. Real mental effort, which tires a dog more thoroughly than distance ever will.
Decompression, calm, settling. For the dog who never quite switches off, learning to rest is the work.
Handling confidence and cooperative care, so the vet and the groomer stop being something your dog dreads.
During our in home assessment we watch your dog against all six and identify your dog's interests and opportunities to expand and we adjust as they age.
A high-drive two-year-old and an anxious senior both get enrichment on every visit. They almost never get the same enrichment. One needs a job to do; the other needs to learn that nothing is about to happen.
That's why we are Canine Enrichment Specialists rather than JUST dog walkers.
The BALANCED Membership
Balanced is one membership with unlimited visits, seven days a week. One walk goes on the calendar automatically. You add more whenever your day needs them.
A dog who gets to sniff, forage and solve problems every day settles faster, sleeps better, and paces less at home. That's not a mood. It's what happens when the instincts a dog is built around finally get used.
Most dog parents tell us they notice it inside two weeks. The dog who met you at the door wound up is lying down instead.
What you're signing up for
When you buy a set number of walks and you start counting them. Is today worth using one? Should I save it for Thursday? Unlimited means you never run that calculation.
One walk is already on the calendar before you wake up. Then the meeting runs to seven, or the flight is delayed, or you're stuck across town. You open the app and add a visit. Or two, and your dog is covered for the whole day. No phone call, no scramble, no favor to ask, and nothing added to your bill.
In practice most members use their one daily walk and add a second when the day calls for it. We have never once told a member they'd reached a limit, because there isn't one.
You don't have to know what your week looks like to know your dog is covered.
One dog or two. Every day, weekends included. Join mid-month and your first month is prorated.
Try us for thirty days. If your dog isn't happier, email or call and we refund your first month in full. No questions and you keep every photo we took.
.
We open 10 new memberships a month. Your dog's time is held for them every single day, which means it can't be held for anyone else. When we're full, we'll tell you.
Nothing to sign, nothing to pay. If we're not right for your dog, we'll tell you.
Travelling most weeks, or caring for a dog who can't be alone overnight? Concierge adds unlimited overnights in your own home, every dog in the house, and a specialist who stays with your dog through vet appointments. See Concierge below →
What this costs, in order
Concierge
Some people travel most weeks. Some have a senior dog on medication, or a puppy who can't be alone yet. Concierge is a dedicated team assigned to your dog and to nobody else, which is why last-minute requests simply work. The space was already yours.
Not a drop-off. They go in, they stay through the appointment, they hear what the vet says, and they call you. If you're in another time zone, you still know exactly what happened in that room.
What Concierge includes
One is scheduled automatically. Add as many more as the day calls for in the app, seven days a week. No counting, no caps, no charge.
Your dog never boards and never adjusts to a strange place. Your specialist comes to them.
All of them included. No per-dog fee at any point.
A planned enrichment outing whenever your dog needs more than the neighborhood.
Given on schedule and logged every visit, with a written note on how they were.
Mail, lights, a walk through the house. You come home to the house you left.
A direct line, seven days a week. One person who knows your dog and your schedule.
Holidays, weekends, after hours, no notice. The price is the price.
Everything in the $1,999 membership comes with it — the daily auto-scheduled walk, unlimited visits whenever your day changes, the Enrichment Toy of the Month, the birthday field trip and photoshoot, the December photobook, and photos, video and GPS after every single visit. Concierge adds the nights, the vet appointments and the house.
All your dogs. Every day, every night, every holiday. No contract, no term, and the same eight promises on every single visit.
If it isn't right, you're not stuck. Cancel any time in your first month and we'll refund every day we haven't served.
A real conversation about your dog and your travel, not a sales call.
Concierge memberships open each month. Your care team isn't assigned to anyone else, which is the whole reason no-notice requests work. When both are taken, we'll tell you.
Before you book
There's one plan, and it's unlimited. That's deliberate.
The minute you buy a set number of walks, you start counting them. Is today worth using one? Should I hold one back in case Thursday falls apart? It's a small thing to decide, but you'd decide it every morning, about your dog, on top of everything already on you.
Unlimited takes the question away. The walk is already there. If your day gets away from you, there's another one, and using it costs you nothing.
You're not buying walks. You're buying the end of thinking about it.
No. No term, no cancellation fee.
Memberships are month to month and you can cancel any month. We'd rather you stay because it's working than because you're stuck.
And for the first thirty days, the Happy Home Guarantee means that if your dog isn't happier, we refund your first month in full. On Concierge, cancel in your first month and we refund every day we haven't served.
About an hour at your home, and you keep everything from it either way.
We introduce your dog to four kinds of enrichment and watch how they respond, then take them out for a 20-minute walk to see how they are on leash, documented with photos, video and GPS.
You keep the four toys, a bandana, the documented walk and a written care plan built for your dog, whether you join us or not. It's also how we assign your care team. Walks start the same week.
Your assigned care team. The same faces every visit.
Everyone is a W-2 employee, background checked, first-aid trained and on our payroll. Not a gig app, and not a stranger who accepted a job on their phone twenty minutes ago.
If your walker is out, someone else on your dog's care team covers it, and it's a person your dog has already met. That's how we've gone six-plus years with zero missed walks.
We serve Intown Atlanta, within seven miles of Midtown.
That includes Midtown, Old Fourth Ward, Grant Park, Inman Park, Virginia-Highland, Kirkwood, East Atlanta Village, Reynoldstown, Cabbagetown, Ormewood Park, Summerhill, West End and the neighborhoods around them.
Because we hold a daily timeslot for every dog, availability is by neighborhood. Book the call and we'll tell you exactly what's open near you.
Everything else is answered on our full FAQ page, or ask it on a free 15-minute call. You can also call us on (404) 702-4453.
The next step
Fifteen minutes on the phone. You'll hang up knowing what we'd recommend for your dog, what it would cost, and whether we have room in your neighborhood.
Most people book this call to work out whether daily care makes sense at all. Coming in undecided is not a problem. It's the point.
The founder, who started this because of her own dog, Praline and brings twenty years in public health and animal welfare. Not a sales team.
That's most of what this call is for. We would rather point you somewhere better than start a membership that was never going to work.
