We have been taking our dog to Central Bark for at least 7 years!!
The service, staff and care Sophie gets is outstanding. As we turn the street approaching Central Bark, our dog gets so excited, she knows we are close! She is so happy and exercised when we pick her up she sleeps all evening!!

Central Bark rescued me this Fall when I had to find a place to leave my new 2-year old rescue, Red, during the day because of a very noisy roofing project going on in my townhouse complex. The owner, Laura, answered the phone and was extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and answered all my questions. I felt so relieved on the first day when I met the handlers -- experienced, knowledgeable, calm and friendly. The staff at Central Bark understand dog behavior and I know Red is safe and treated with respect and love. Thank you!

Central Bark Grayslake is fantastic. We have been taking our rescue here for over 1.5 years (once a week). They know who she is when we walk through the door. The staff is patient with our "active" 35-lb mix. The owners take time to answer all my questions about dog food and behavior. I won't leave her with anyone else. She stays with her friends at CB when we go on short road trips and our long vacation. Thank you CB!

I really like the concept here. The gods had a huge indoor play area as well as outdoor with pools and playground equipment. Place seemed very clean and the workers were pleasant. I like the fact that the dogs get a nap in the stainless steel cages vs sleeping on the floors and being bothered. I will be brining my puppy here for play days.
