Amy (with Abby)

Owner

Amy’s love of dogs began as a kid when her dad raised & showed German Shepherds, living with 14 of them at one point. During her career as a commercial real estate broker, Amy opened her doggy day care in 2001 designed as a home away from home for black lab pup Abby. An amazing staff helped Amy grow the business to which she is now dedicated full time. Her focus continues to be on providing a fun, safe & clean environment where her client’s dog are treated with love, kindness & respect. For Amy, nothing is more rewarding then the wag of a dog’s tails when they arrive for day care & the smiles on her clients faces when they see their dog happy, content & well taken care of. Amy participates on Tampa’s flyball racing team with Abby & new Jack Russell puppy Dash & cherishes family activities in her spare time. She shares her life with husband Shawn, sons Roman (4) & Casey (2), dogs Abby, Dash, yellow lab Rocky & lab husky Keely as well as feline companion Jazz, and her heart with all her dog friends at Central Bark Tampa.

Greg (with Lucy and Memphis)

General Manager

Greg and Amy worked together professionally for many years and have been friends for many more with a common denominator always being their mutual love for dogs. In fact, Lucy was rescued in the parking lot of the office where they worked and found her forever home with Greg and his wife Shelley. With a 20 year background in sales & management with both corporate and small business entities, Greg has a natural ability to connect with both humans and dogs alike. Providing excellent customer service with the client is always a priority and a primary focus for Greg in addition to ensuring that Central Bark Tampa is the most loving, caring and fun home away from home for your dog. Originally from Memphis, the recent adoption of a Humane Society rescue of the same name was an easy decision. Memphis found his forever home and joined the family of Greg, Shelley, Lucy and cat, Homer. Greg’s love for dogs and ensuring they enjoy a healthy and balanced life doesn’t end at Centr al Bark. In his free time, he volunteers at the Humane Society and is a professional dog walker and avid runner.
