Central Bark Aurora Fox Valley

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!

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!

I took my dog Maia here to be groomed and I must say it was a great experience. Maia looks absolutely amazing.The staff is very friendly and welcoming. This will be Maia's permanent grooming spot. Thank you Central Bark Aurora

We were very happy with the care and attention to our dog for both her grooming appointment and then for a 5 day stay for boarding while the family traveled. We got daily updates on her she was doing.

Great service! Full grooming. Easy to work with when I needed to change appointment time. Dog looked great. Highly recommended.

This was the time we had our 6 year old golden retriever groomed here. I was extremely pleased with the final results! The staff and owner were really nice and answered all my questions! I will definitely be coming back!!

At the beginning of 2025 we moved from Colorado to Chicagoland and my dog Sir Terrence didn't fully like the transition. He missed his daycare(Skiptown), friends and the weather (He truly hates storms and humidity). It took us a bunch of trial and errors the whole year to find a daycare he liked going to, once we… Read full review

Jana did an amazing job grooming Martini & Vegas. She delivered on our specific grooming requests which was not the case with other groomers. Martini & Vegas are very skittish dogs, but when we picked them up they were calm, happy and beautiful. The icing on the cake was the cute spa photos they gave us. We have… Read full review

Central Bark did such an amazing job grooming Archie! They turned him into the cutest little boy ever 🐶✨ What impressed me even more was their incredible customer service. I had a very limited time window that worked for me, and the groomer actually came in early just to accommodate my schedule. That level of care… Read full review

Very impressed with our first visit to Central Bark Aurora Fox Valley !! Mike, the owner, was very professional and nice to work with. The Groomer (I didn't get her name) did a great job grooming my big Golden Doodle, Harley !! He was dropped off at 9 AM and picked up at noon. Perfect for my dog who is not thrilled… Read full review

A huge thank you to Central bark for a fantastic grooming experience! My dog, Ryder, looks and smells absolutely amazing. The online booking process was incredibly easy, and the staff is so friendly and caring. The absolute best part is how efficient they are - no waiting around for 6 hours like at other places. If… Read full review

We have boarded our dog several times now at Central Bark and the staff and experience has been great. Our dog is excited every time we go in there and is exhausted when he comes back home! We have peace knowing that he is in a place he loves to be when we can’t be with him. Mike and staff and excellent!

We've been taking our dog Brisket to Central Bark Aurora Fox Valley since they first opened and I wouldn't think to go anywhere else. We know that he is in good hands whether its when he's boarded or just for a grooming. They are so welcoming and professional and really get to know your dog and what is best for him. Absolutely would recommend!

My pup and I absolutely love Central Bark!! She was never very excited about going to her previous daycare, but here her tail is always wagging—especially to see Mike and the team. Mike is incredibly accommodating with my work schedule, which we truly appreciate. They take such great care of her that I never have to… Read full review

I can’t say enough wonderful things about CentralBark. My dog Lucy absolutely loves going there—she gets so excited the moment she realizes where she’s headed, and that alone says everything. I’m very particular about who I trust with her and never leave her with anyone, but I feel completely comfortable leaving… Read full review

My baby Bailey loves central bark! The staff are so patient and kind to her. Francesca is a genuine sweet person who truly loves animals. I am lucky to have this place close by. Thank you Central Bark :)

Central Bark is an oasis for all dogs and puppies. My Riley runs up the door to play with her friends, and is sometimes reluctant to leave! Mike and staff go over the top to accommodate my dog, and they do not disappoint. Total professionals and I’d recommend them to anyone.

Great experience- I highly recommend Central Bark for grooming, boarding and day care. Owner and staff are amazing!

Grooming service best in the area. Have looked long and hard for a high quality, reasonably priced groomer for my standard poodle. Jordan is the best!

Brought my dog Sammy there for a grooming and Jordan did amazing! He came back so soft and happy as could be!

Frannie has so much fun with the other dogs and staff at Central Bark! They have indoor and outdoor areas for play and little pools for the dogs to cool off in. This place is amazing. The groomer did a wonderful job on Frannies' groom as well! Highly recommended.
