The holidays should feel joyful—warm lights, cozy dinners, time with family, and a chance to step away from your daily routine.
But for many Atlanta dog parents, one lingering thought keeps interrupting that peace:
“Who’s going to take care of my dog while I’m away?”
If you’ve ever felt that pull of guilt—wanting to travel yet worrying whether your dog will feel safe, understood, or lonely—you’re not alone. For busy dog parents, that internal conflict becomes even more intense during the holiday season.
At Praline’s Backyard Dog Services, we understand that your dog isn’t “just a pet.” They’re family. And your biggest hope is simple:
“I want my dog to be happy and cared for… even when I can’t be there.”
That’s where we come in.
Your struggle?
A mix of time pressure, guilt, and the fear that your dog might not get the care they truly need.
Your belief?
That a balanced life is a happier life—for you and your dog.
We’re simply the guide, offering a plan that lets you travel confidently while your dog receives the enrichment, comfort, and love they deserve.
Why Holiday Pet Care Requires More Than “Just a Visit”
Holidays bring unfamiliar noises, changing schedules, decorations, and disruptions. Dogs feel that shift deeply.
That’s why our holiday services aren’t short drop-ins.
They’re full 40-minute visits designed to support your dog emotionally, mentally, and physically while you’re away.
Each visit includes:
✔ A structured walk
Every dog gets an individualized walk—paced for their age, needs, and energy level.
✔ A customized enrichment activity
Puzzles, scent work, brain games, and holiday-themed enrichment—tailored to soothe anxiety and boost confidence.
✔ Feeding, medications, and routine care
Keeping your dog’s schedule stable helps reduce stress.
✔ Home comfort check
Ensuring your home is safe, secure, and undisturbed.
✔ Photo and video updates
So you feel connected, even from miles away.
You choose 3 or 4 visits per day depending on what your dog needs—morning, afternoon, evening, and/or bedtime.
This is care designed for dogs who thrive on routine, comfort, and genuine connection—not chaotic environments, overcrowded boarding facilities, or unpredictable attention.
The Moment Holiday Stress Turns Into Holiday Peace
Many dog parents first reach out to us with the same story:
They’ve tried boarding.
They’ve tried asking friends.
They’ve tried patching together makeshift plans.
But every year, the guilt grows.
Because you know your dog deserves more than the bare minimum.
They deserve presence. They deserve structure. They deserve care that reflects the love you give them every day.
Our holiday visits do exactly that.
We meet your dog where they are—shy, energetic, anxious, senior, playful—and build the visit around their emotional and physical needs.
Your dog feels seen.
Your dog feels safe.
Your dog stays at home in their happy place.
And you feel peace.
Because you finally have support you can trust.
