Mike and team takes wonderful care of our 4 legged family member! Thanks for all you guys do!
Mike and the team were great to work with! Very kind and professional and accommodating for our two dogs that stayed overnight. Great experience and will be back!
Kali LOVES central bark! We’ve tried out a few other daycare and we didn’t see such a happy puppy till we came here. Mike is awesome and super flexible and everyone is so nice!
My dog Sosa just started at Central Bark. He is very happy and excited to attend. The staff has been great!
We have used Mike’s team for boarding our GSD when we go out of town and they have grown on each other. This last week Mike was getting him more socialized in the daily updates and we could tell he was enjoying it. We have been using their grooming for several months as well and they do a great job. Thanks Mike!
Milo is new to daycare but he has loved it so far. He gets greeted and snuggled on the second he walks through that door (and I am sure all day as well). I appreciate getting a report card with pictures of his day. This is new to him and me so to see that he has a fun day means a lot. Everyone is super nice and caring. Highly recommend.
