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!

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 with going to the groomer. The little picture of Harley was an added bonus! Thank you you , you have yourself a new customer !!

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!

We brought our puppy Milo to the puppy hour they offer on Wednesdays and he fell in love with this place. We signed Milo up for training with Francesca and could not be happier with her training skills. She has a genuine love and understanding for dogs and is awesome at what she does. My wife and I both learned a lot from her and are so happy with what she taught us and our puppy Milo. This place is absolutely spotless, has everything you could imagine, and Mike along with his team couldn’t be more welcoming to the people and dogs that visit this facility. I would highly recommend Central Bark Fox Valley to anyone. Truly a top notch experience. Thank you.

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 you’re looking for a reliable high-quality groomer, look no further!
