Our dog has been attending Central Bark for six months and absolutely loves it. We followed a recommendation from another puppy parent to board our dog for the weekend and Central Bark treated her better than we could have imagined- we were anxious leaving her anywhere but had an emergency. We receive picture updates on her grooming days and nights she has sleepovers. On social media Central Bark posts pictures of the dogs playing. If our dog had an upset tummy we were notified immediately. Central Bark pays attention to allergies and puts them in group/play groups best suited for them. When we drop our dog, Red off at daycare she's pushing the gate open herself to go to school. We take Red twice/week to Central Bark and after we pick her up she's exhausted from playing all day. All the handlers do a fantastic job. The manager, Rachel, is very professional and she's taken good care of us. The price is worth what you get. Five stars I would recommend to bring your dog to Central Bark.

This place is an amazing facility! The staff here are beyond helpful and so sweet. Tidwell Mason and Layla Rose absolutely love going to daycare here. They even enjoyed their 5 day sleepover. While my husband and I were several states away, we had peace at mind knowing our babies were being well cared for. The experience here at Central Bark was and is completely opposite of what we endured last year from the other boarding facility. This is definitely the place to bring your babies NO DOUBT! Thank you Central Bark for taking such good care of our babies!

We absolutely LOVE Central Bark!! Their staff are kind, caring, & professional - is so clear that the pups love ALL of them! We have been members at CB for 3 years and it is our dog Cooper’s favorite place to go! 🤩 10/10 Recommend Central Bark for all your dog’s play and grooming needs.

From start to finish, Central Bark provided us with EXCELLENT service. We have tried 4 different groomers since we've had our sweet boy, and Central Bark has been the most professional and provided him with the best cut. We finally found our groomer!!!! Thank you!

Boo Boo loves getting groomed here. He is typically anxious, but they always love him and make him feel extremely loved. Thank you for making him so "pretty boy" as we say.

My dogs love it there!! We had our two large dogs boarded for a week while we were out of the country and we were so pleased with their time there! When I came to pick them up, one of my girls was in group play and swimming in the doggy pools living her best life😎

Today was Banksy's first day at Central Bark. She's been going to another local daycare, but they've, unfortunately, had to pull back on a lot of their services. We loved them, and were worried about leaving. So, I was so happy when I walked in, and the staff had nothing but wonderful things to say about my baby girl! I can tell they really care about each pet, and Banksy is going to have the best time there!

Can't say enough about how wonderful they are here. My furbaby LOVES it. As soon as we pull into the lot, the tail starts wagging. When I get her back, she's happy and exhausted. (And over the summer, thoroughly wet from swimming all day.In addition, the staff is excellent. They know all the dogs by name, give me updates on how my baby's day went, and always give her hugs goodbye.On top of everything else, their boarding services are great too.

Want to be anxious? Board your pet at a place for the first time. I will recommend Central Bark without any hesitation. They greet and care for your pets as if they were part of the family. They do a very thorough job of vetting and preparation for your pet's stay - that shows how deliberate and careful they are. We boarded our dog for the weekend and it was $58 including a tip. It happens to be next door to our Vet, Dr. Marion Floyd (He is amazing and great with pets).

Gidget had a beautiful groom at Central Bark! Her hair was cut perfectly and she looked sooo cute! They said she was so well behaved but I think it’s because they are great with pets because she tends to be a little nervous.

They have been amazing with our wild miniature pinscher puppy. He goes to day care two times a week and we pay for extra training while he’s there . He is a complete different dog. He is a lot more relaxed, better with other pups and more confident. I love the report cards after his training sessions with his progress and training tips to help him at home . The first day packet was super cute with his picture ! He loves going and we have to drag him out . Thank you so much for the wonderful staff that take care of Peeko!

Our dog Pearl loves Central Bark. She is a Jack Russell Terrier mix who can get the zoomies and be very hyper. She comes home from Central Bark much calmer and happy

My 5 month old boxer came home exhausted lol, which is exactly what I wanted!! He will be going regularly to give me and my older pups a break. The staff was super friendly, gave great advice, and the facility was very clean!

5 Stars all the way. Central Bark was able to accommodate us at the last minute for a quick overnight boarding. Location was extremely clean and staff was very professional. Will definitely be boarding my pup here for now on!

I recently took my dog in for a spa treatment. She was WAY overdue. We delayed her cut because she gets very anxious. Due to her last groomer not being patient with her cuts always left her with marks around her neck. I felt very comfortable dropping her off. I met all the staff involved in her care. They all showed her love before taking her from me. During the appointment they text me questions instead of guessing. When I picked her up she wasn’t shaking or walking in circles. She looked calm and relaxed. Her hair cut was perfect, no loose hair flying around on the drive home. I will definitely be bringing her back for her grooming.

I have been sending my beagle there for a year now. They are always so welcoming, very clean and take the best care of my pup. I utilize their overnight stays as well and he gets the best care. They are attentive and always willing to make you feel comfortable about leaving behind your baby. My hyper pup also cokes home each time ready to sleep all night, which is the best!

Can't recommend this place enough! We tried one day of day care that didn't go so well due to our dog's special needs and defensive attitude, but we kept bringing her back for grooming. Grooming services are top notch and they really listen to your wishes. Then they were willing to give our sweet girl another chance at day care to see if she could be successful. After TWO more trials, they were able to figure out her quirks and which groups she'd be happy in. I appreciated the thorough communication after each group, and their willingness to try different methods with her. Now she's so excited when we pull up and can't wait to go back for play groups! We're very happy to have found somewhere we trust that does not just lump all big dogs in one group and small dogs in the other. They have shown over and over that they care and take the time to get to know the dog! An added bonus: pictures and report cards after day care!

I am beyond impressed. We are military and have moved numerous times. My dogs have been to many different day cares, and I have researched and tried many day cares in the area, and this is definitely the best one I have found. It is clean, organized, and welcoming. The staff was friendly, energetic, and loving toward my dogs. There were many customers coming in and out while I was there, and all dogs were greeted by name and the dogs were excited be there. The staff made me feel very comfortable and confident knowing my dog was going to be taken care of. I had many questions about their services, and they were patient and made sure I had all the answers I needed. Upon coming home, it was obvious Diesel did not spend the day in a kennel, he was exhausted. I can't say enough about this day care.

I brought Kobe in for his obedience assessment. I must say this is was a great move for Kobe. He seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere. The staff was very inviting. I am sure Kobe will enjoy his visits.

My dog loves it here! The staff are always friendly and professional. You can tell they care about the dogs so I feel completely at ease with them taking care of my fur baby. The facility is top notch and always clean. The prices are reasonable and they offer a lot of other services besides doggy daycare that make it convenient. The only worry I have is if my dog will be willing to leave when I show up to take her home :)

I cannot say enough good things about Central Bark! My dog always comes home happy and I know that he is receiving the best care while staying here. Thank you, Central Bark, for taking such good care of my family while I'm away!

The staff is very friendly and always helpful with any question you have. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy at daycare knowing that they would take the best care of her. I appreciate all the detail about her day on her report card when I came to pick her up. You can tell they give them lots of love and attention. They also took lots of pictures of her with her new friends. She’s always so excited to see the staff when I bring her in. She already can’t wait to come back!

My Kobe absolutely loves it here and the staff spoils him rotten! He feels at home. It's very comforting to drop him off two days a week!

We found our new dog day care place! The staff were extremely professional, courteous, and attentive to us and our dogs. Their facility was clean and neat, and is the first place we’ve taken our dogs that has a secondary waiting gate when you walk through the front doors. We received a thorough assessment/evaluation of our dogs in their environment, and it was most helpful! Thanks to this awesome crew!

Puppy social hour was so much fun! This place was recommended by my vet and our experience confirmed how great they are! The girls there were so sweet and seem to genuinely love & understand dogs. Can’t wait to take my pup back!

Our old pup (7yrs) didn't know how to play and hadn't been socialized with other dogs. He isn't as jumpy now even though he only goes once a week. We are thinking about sending him more often.

We took out 9 month puppy for enrichment camp and are incredibly happy with the results. He was excited each morning when I dropped him off and well exercised when I picked him up! The staff was friendly and professional. They also did a great job cutting our puppies nails! It was an easy add on service too!

The best daycare I have ever had my Buster at. All of the staff were so attentive and nice. I travel for work and was here for an entire week and they took the best care of my dog. You can tell these folks truly love dogs!!! I highly recommend.
