How it All Started

Convenient, Safe, and Stress-Free Rides for Your Dog

Atlanta Dog Taxi grew out of a need we saw firsthand while providing dog walking and pet sitting services through Praline’s Backyard Dog Services. Our original focus was on enrichment-based care for Atlanta’s dogs, ensuring that they received not just exercise but mental stimulation during their walks. As we built close relationships with our clients, we noticed one common challenge: transportation. At first, we only offered transportation to our own dog walking and pet sitting clients for vet and grooming appointments. But as more pet parents heard about the safe and comfortable rides we provided, the demand grew beyond our existing services. Recognizing the need, we expanded Atlanta Dog Taxi to serve the broader Atlanta community—including pet parents who don’t require dog walking or sitting services but still need a trusted solution for their pet’s transportation needs.

Mission.

Our mission is to provide safe, reliable, and stress-free transportation for dogs in the Atlanta metro area. We aim to support busy pet parents by offering a convenient solution that prioritizes the well-being and comfort of their pets, ensuring every ride is a positive experience.

Vision

Our vision is to become the go-to pet transportation service in Atlanta, trusted by pet parents to deliver exceptional care, comfort, and convenience. We strive to set the standard for pet transportation, expanding our services to meet the evolving needs of the pet-loving community while maintaining our commitment to safety, reliability, and personalized care.
