"When your dogs are like your kids, you want to know they are in good hands when they’re not at home. The staff is not only very professional, but they genuinely care as much as I do about Codi and Gracie. It shows in everything they do. They are also extremely accommodating. I travel and don’t always control my schedule but have never had a problem with last minute changes and or additions. They offer pick-up and drop-off, Sunday hours and even home visits if needed. The bottom line is that I trust The Pooch Patio to take care of my girls and recommend them highly."

"As a dog trainer, I recommend the Pooch Patio to all my clients. It’s a great place to relax over coffee or a glass of wine and socialize your dog in a safe, secure environment. The patio is double gated, which provides a high level security if you choose to have your dog off leash. I often meet my clients at the Pooch Patio for one on one training to help their dogs learn proper social behavior. April and her staff are very friendly and accommodating, not to mention “passionate about dogs.” They take great care of their pooches in both day care and boarding. You will love the Pooch Patio!"

"After relocating to Dallas and realizing that city life here was much different from where I was from, I realized I needed help during the day with Sam, my adorable Maltese-Shitzu mix, while I was working. Normally I would return home over lunch but this was no longer an option and I hated to leave him inside all day. Hence I started out my search for a “Doggy Day Care”; I reviewed and called several not overly impressed with any of the options. On a whim I was searching and came across “The Pooch Patio” and was drawn to the detail and information on their website. After speaking at length with the owner April I was assured this was Sam’s new home away from home. Not only have I used the day care but also the home visits from Paws Pet Services. I can only say that my experiences have been nothing but excellent! Sam enjoys day care and is always happy to see Ms. April and Ms. Carrie; the staff treats Sam like family and nothing could make me feel more comfortable as a pet owner or give me more peace of mind. The facility is clean, fun and also very well organized. I also enjoy seeing everyone each morning and afternoon and am greeted like family. The Pooch Patio has been a blessing to me and I never worry about Sam while he is their care. Great job you guys!!!"

"Finding The Pooch Patio was my greatest find yet! Thanks to Pooch Patio, Patches, my two year old shih-tzu, can get all his energy out during the day at doggie daycare in a friendly, clean, safe, and fun environment. I leave him there without ever worrying about his safety. In addition, Patches gets groomed and bathed at Pooch Patio, always coming out smelling great and looking handsome! But, that’s not all! Pooch Patio is also my first choice when I need to board Patches overnight when I leave town. He has the freedom to play at day care and isn’t locked up in a cage all day, and he is with dog lovers who care about him. What more can I ask for in a home away from home for my baby boy? Not much! I highly recommend Pooch Patio. There’s no other place like it, and your dog will love it there!"

"We have used both Paws Pet sitting and The Pooch Patio for the past 3
years. Our dog is our child and we can travel peacefully knowing that
he is safe and happy. April and her staff are amazing and treat him
like one of their own. Whether he needs to a walk during the week,
visits while we are away, a day at the doggie spa, or just getting out
some energy, we know that he is in the best hands possible. They are
the best!"

"I travel a lot and the comfort I feel from the good care and treatment that my best friend gets at the Pooch Patio is great. As an engineer traveling the world, it is the best way to take care of my bulldog; it doesn't matter if I am in Asia, Australia, Europe, South America, the Middle East or Russia, I can always tune into see my buddy on the dog-cam and make sure he is ok. It's a really great feeling to check Gavin from far away. He jumps out of my truck and runs to the front door when we drive up to the Pooch Patio, he loves it, but don't take my word for it - take his!"

"Our Maltese/Yorkie mix, Maya, absolutely loves the Pooch Patio. We drop her off to April and the gang several times a week for play day with the other small dogs, and she always comes home happy and tired. Everybody we’ve met at The Patio are dog lovers and it shows. It's great peace of mind to know that they are giving your pet as much love as you give them at home. Maya also loves getting groomed and bathed at The Pooch Patio and she always comes home looking fantastic!!"

"I rescued a miniature female poodle, who was fearful of people and other dogs. I love her inspite of this, and recognized that she needed socialization, and a dog behaviorist. after successfully working with Rebecca Jones of bark busters, we used the wonderful Pooch Patio day care, to teach her socialization skills. The changes in her behavior have been amazing, she looks forward to day care at The Pooch Patio. The most important to me, is the fact that the owner, April Prohaska, screens and assesses each dog, to insure no dogs in her daycare or boarding has aggression issues. The dogs are constantly supervised, and dog owners can log on and watch their dogs on 2 web cameras, this won me over. I couldn't be more pleased, and will continue to use The Pooch Patio for socialization."

"My fiance and I have been extremely happy leaving ourdog Chance at The Pooch Patio for our out of town trips and day care! We frequently leave town and our past experiences at other boarding places usually resulted in us picking up a highly anxious, extremely smelley, and 5-7 pound thinner dog after our long weekend trips. It was clear to us that she was stressed and
not eating as normal while gone, which in turn also stressed us out as owners."
"Luckily, we found The Pooch Patio, where Chance also attends bi-weekly doggie daycare, to board Chance while out of town. My experiences with the staff is always professional, their hours of operation are very flexible which makes it easy for me to drop off/pick up. Most importantly, we feel very comfortable that she is in good hands! Chance is no longer starving or stressed when we pick her up which brings us a great deal of peace when we know that we have to leave town."

"Whether you live Downtown or Uptown, your dog should
be spending part of each week at the Pooch Patio. We
have taken our dog there for over a year and he
absolutely loves it. He races to the door in the
mornings in hopes that he will be going that day!
April and her staff do a great job of taking care of
all the animals and you can be assured of a happy,
tired dog at the end of each day at the Pooch Patio."

"I cannot say enough good things about The Pooch Patio and Paws Pet Service. April runs a very professional business, is extremely prompt to respond and to fulfill our every need and a true animal lover. For over six years now, April has been a key player in the raising of our lovely little daughter, Bonnie. Bonnie was an abused Rotti and today Bonnie is social and loves going to Day Care—a lot of which we contribute to April’s care. As well, being a busy professional with unusual hours, April and her business has assisted me with the care. No matter the need, no matter the time frame, Bonnie has had taxi rides to vet appointments or day care, or in-home visits to walk and let her out. Bonnie is my daughter and I view April and her business as my extended family."
