Wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else!
I absolutely love what Jasmine did for my son’s dog, Ollie. I asked for a bath and paw trim, and when I saw Ollie, he was beautiful. His coat was so soft and shiny, and he smelled great too! His paw trim was also meticulously done. Jasmine did great work and I look forward to using her again!!
We love Central Bark Grayslake! We have been bringing our 2yo dog here for about a year, he goes twice a week for daycare and he absolutely loves it. The facility is clean and professional and the staff are amazing. We really wanted to socialize our dog and they do a great job at CB having him play with other dogs that match his high energy. Daily pictures on Facebook let us see how much fun he has and gives us extra peace of mind that he’s doing well there. We’ve also boarded him several times when we’re out of town and feel completely comfortable that he is safe, happy, and well taken care of. I also love that they have grooming services so my dog can get a bath and everything while he’s at daycare – so convenient! We are SO happy that we found Central Bark and that our dog has a fun safe place to play and socialize.
We have relied on Central Bark Grayslake for 13 years and 2 dogs. The professional and personal attention from the staff is what makes the difference. Our rescue started here when he was 3 months old, and 6 years later he still gets so excited when we pull into their lot.
The flexibility of scheduling has helped us many times. They will make sure your pups food is refrigerated if needed and medication will be administered. We had a grooming scheduled during his most recent kennel stay and he looked better when we picked him up, than when we dropped him off. Their groomers are professionals. Our dog can be difficult during grooming, however, they know how to handle that situation.
The staff even goes out of their way to provide owners with personalized report cards via text. Takes the edge off when you’re so far away from your dog. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t know if we’d be able to travel without him.

What is dog day care?
Dog day care gives dogs a fun place to play with their friends while their owners are busy at home and work.
At Central Bark®, doggy daycare is our specialty, and nobody does it quite like us. We don’t just give dogs a place to play. We create a personalized program of activities that optimize your dog’s whole health – their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Central Bark goes beyond a traditional doggy day care with our unique Whole Dog Care philosophy. Our personalized approach helps enrich your dog’s whole health and well-being throughout their entire life so you can enjoy a healthy, happy, and loving life together.
The heart of our whole dog care approach is our Enrichment Doggy Day Care program. We combine Central Bark’s industry-leading doggy day care expertise with the latest dog behavior science. Our mission is to give dogs a balanced blend of exercise, social group play, learning, rest, and TLC. To help your dog be a healthy, happy, calm, and well-rounded member of your family.
Can a puppy be boarded?
Yes. We offer sleepovers to puppies and dogs enrolled in our Enrichment Day Care. Sleepovers at Central Bark® provide your dog a calm, relaxing sleepover in a place they can feel comfortable and loved. Because they’re in a familiar place, they can feel less stressed about being away from home (and so will you). A full day of Doggy Day Care is complimentary with your sleepover stay.
How much does dog training cost?
With a variety of training solutions available, training costs depend upon what kind of training you and your dog need.
Central Bark® offers everything you need to help you train your new puppy or older dog. Including group classes and Training Tutor sessions that can take place during day care. Our expert training and classes help you, and your dog learn and bond together.
