Questions, answered plainly
We've grouped these by what people actually worry about, not by topic. If what you need isn't here, ask it on a free 15-minute call and we'll answer it straight, even if the answer is that we're not right for your dog.
Think of it as a care team for your dog, not a service you book.
Both memberships start the same way. Private walks with tailored enrichment are on the calendar every weekday, in a timeslot held just for your dog, with the same trusted care team every visit. You get photos, video, GPS and a written update after every visit, so you always know how their day actually went.
Starter is $999 a month plus a $75 membership fee, for one walk every weekday. Extra walks, weekends and holidays are added as you need them.
Balanced is $3,999 a month, one dog or two. Evenings and weekends are included whenever you need them, at no additional cost. That's the difference from Starter. You also get two walks every weekday, Dog Taxi and two overnight stays a month, with no fees at all. It's our most popular, built for the busy dog parent.
Starter covers the week you planned. Balanced covers the week you actually have.
See the memberships →Because you're not paying for walks. You're paying to never wonder if your dog got what they needed today.
That starts with tailored enrichment. At your dog's assessment, we learn how they're wired using our six-pillar THRIVE framework. Some dogs need to sniff. Some need a puzzle to solve. Some need to learn how to settle. Every visit is a private walk with tailored enrichment built around what your dog needs that day, and it changes as they grow and age. A new Enrichment Toy of the Month keeps them curious.
Behind that is everything else that keeps the promise. Your dog's time slots are held every weekday. A care team knows them by name. There's a backup plan, so a walk never gets missed. We haven't missed one in 6+ years. Someone drives them to the vet when you can't leave work. And you get a report card after every visit, so you see how their day went.
Two private walks with tailored enrichment are scheduled every weekday. Evenings and weekends are covered whenever your schedule needs them, at no additional cost, and two overnight stays a month are included for when you travel. There's never a gap to worry about, and never a fee to add up.
See what's included →Because it's what makes you a member, not just someone buying walks.
The fee covers your dog's Enrichment Toy of the Month, and it opens up the rest of what we do: Dog Taxi, overnight pet sitting and field trips, booked whenever you need them and paid as you use them.
Those services are only for members, because they only work with people your dog already knows. Nobody new drives your dog to the vet or stays overnight in your home.
Balanced members don't pay a membership fee. It's all included.
Daycare empties the tank. Apps send whoever is free. We do neither.
Daycare means a drop-off, a pickup, and a room full of dogs you don't know while you hope the day went fine. Your dog never leaves home with us. No drop-off, no pickup, no group.
Apps send a person who accepted a job on their phone twenty minutes ago. Your dog has an assigned care team of people who know their name, their pace and their quirks, and they're W-2 employees on our payroll, not contractors from a marketplace.
And enrichment isn't an upgrade here. It's on every single visit. Your dog comes home settled, not wired and not wiped out.
Balanced has none. Starter has a few, and here they all are.
Balanced includes a second dog, evenings, weekends, holidays and Dog Taxi, with no fees at all. Just add visits in the app.
Starter is $999 a month plus a $75 membership fee. Extra walks are $60, weekend visits $70 and holiday visits $75. Dog Taxi, overnight pet sitting and field trips are paid as you use them.
That's the whole list. No peak pricing, no booking fees. If you have two dogs, Balanced covers both at no extra cost.
No long-term contract. Ever.
Both memberships are month to month, and you can cancel any month with no fee and no term. We'd rather you stay because your dog is thriving than because you're stuck.
That's also why both come with the Happy Home Guarantee. At your assessment you tell us your goals for your dog and your life. If you're not seeing them after 30 days of visits, you get a full refund, and you keep every photo we took.
The same faces, every visit.
Your dog is assigned a care team of two or three Canine Enrichment Specialists rather than one person. On Balanced, that's a morning walker, an afternoon walker and a weekend walker. They learn your dog's name, their pace, what makes them nervous and what makes them light up.
If one is out, someone else on your dog's team covers it, and it's a person your dog has already met. That's how we've gone six years with zero missed walks and no cancellation texts.
Employees. Every one of them.
Each Canine Enrichment Specialist is a W-2 employee on our payroll, background checked before they are ever assigned to a home. Not a gig worker, not a contractor from an app. That means real accountability and a company standing behind every visit.
Before they hold a leash, every specialist is Fear Free trained, certified in canine first aid and CPR, and trained in canine behavior and enrichment. We run team trainings every month.
Our founder brings over twenty years in public health and animal welfare to how the whole team is trained.
You choose how we get in, and everything is covered.
Most clients use a lockbox or a smart lock, and we'll walk you through secure options at your assessment. Keys and codes are kept private.
We're licensed, insured and bonded on every visit. Doors locked, paws wiped, and your home left the way we found it.
Every visit is GPS logged, so you can see when your team arrived, where your dog went, and when they left.
Then we change it. No awkward conversation, and no charge.
Because your dog has a care team of two or three rather than one person, there's always a familiar face available. We introduce them slowly and we watch how your dog responds. If the fit isn't right, email or call and we'll reassign.
This is most of what the assessment is for. We're not just meeting your dog, we're working out who on the team they'll take to.
Enrichment is anything that works your dog's brain, not just their legs.
Dogs are built to sniff, forage and solve problems. When those instincts get met, dogs settle faster, sleep better and pace less at home. When they don't, a dog can be walked for a full hour and still be restless by dinner.
We use twelve enrichment styles, matched to what your dog is actually wired for.
Forty minutes, private, just your dog and their specialist.
Some days that's a trail of smells down the sidewalk. Other days it's treats hidden in the grass, a low wall to balance across, or a puzzle to work through. Movement, scent and a little mystery, built around what your dog needs that day.
Afterward you get photos, video, a GPS map of where they went, and a written note about how they were and anything that seemed off.
Usually, yes. That's the whole point.
Mental work settles a dog more thoroughly than physical exercise alone. A dog who has done scent work or problem solving comes home ready to rest, not bouncing off the walls an hour later.
We're not trying to wear your dog out. We're trying to leave them fulfilled, which is a different and better outcome.
Most likely yes, and that's exactly what the assessment is for.
Our specialists are Fear Free trained, which means they can read canine body language and work with dogs who are nervous, easily overstimulated, or still building confidence. Puppies need structure. Senior dogs need gentler enrichment and a slower pace.
Because every walk is private, nothing about our care depends on your dog getting along with strangers or with other dogs.
We'll talk through their needs before we start, and if we're not right for your dog, we'll tell you.
Your dog can start this week, right after their Dog Lifestyle Assessment.
The path is short. A free 15-minute call, then the assessment at your home, then walks begin. No waiting list, no onboarding period.
We open ten new memberships a month and we serve Intown Atlanta within seven miles of Midtown. Book the call and we'll tell you exactly what's open in your neighborhood.
Book your free 15-minute call →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 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. That's over $300 of value for $150, and it's yours whether you join us or not.
It's also how we work out which specialists your dog will take to, which is why we don't skip it. Walks start the same week.
Your dog still gets their visit, and when you travel we're already there.
In severe storms, extreme heat or ice, we shorten outdoor time and bring more indoor enrichment rather than skipping the visit altogether.
When you're away, overnight pet sitting happens in your own home, so your dog never has to board or adjust to a strange place. Balanced includes two overnights a month. After that, and for Starter members, overnights are $300 a night.
You'll get the same photos, video and written updates from wherever you are.
See overnight pet sitting →At your assessment you tell us what you want for your dog and your life. That's our measure of success.
If you're not seeing it after 30 days of visits, you get a full refund. It covers both memberships, Starter and Balanced.
And these are the promises we keep on every single visit:
You can cancel any month. No fee, no term, no waiting.
Pausing is a different thing, because your timeslots are held for your dog every single weekday whether you use them or not. That isn't a figure of speech. While the slot is yours, we can't give it to anyone else.
So holding it open while you're away is $50 for the month. It's the same reason we only open ten memberships a month, and it's why your dog's time is always there when you need it.
Fifteen minutes. We'll talk about your dog's personality, energy and routine, and you'll leave knowing which membership we'd recommend, what it costs, and whether we have room in your neighborhood.
Nothing to sign, nothing to pay. If we're not right for your dog, we'll tell you.
