About Central Bark Brookfield

Jessica Whitney’s true passion has always been her rescue dogs. Jessica was one of the first customers at the Central Bark – Wauwatosa location over 15 years ago. She proudly adopted one of Central Bark’s first foster dogs named Benny. Shortly after purchasing the Central Bark-Brookfield location, she decided she wanted to give back to the dog community that had given her such love and joy.

There are pivotal moments in our lives that open our eyes to both the beauty and the tragedy of our world. In 2017, a pivotal moment prompted her to act to make a difference.

After the devastation of Hurricane Harvey in Houston, she was compelled to do something. Her love for dogs drives almost every action in her life. The shelters in Houston were struggling because so many animals were injured or displaced due to the storm. So, she collected supplies and raised some money, and her and a partner made the long trek to Houston, arriving ready and eager to help. This experience touched Jessica in such a way that she decided to form her own dog rescue to continue to give back to the community.

I have two dogs that have been going here for years! They do training, doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. In the 3+ years they have been caring for my dogs I have not had a single issue. I use them for everything!! My dogs get so excited when we pull in the parking lot. The staff is amazing, they are always friendly and professional and the girls love them all. Very knowledgeable on ALL dog issues and training techniques and they are always willing to help you out when you need it.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Central Bark Brookfield! My dog absolutely loves going there, and that gives me so much peace of mind. The staff genuinely care about every dog in their care and always greet my pup with such warmth and enthusiasm.

When I pick him up, he’s always happy, well cared for, and pleasantly tired from a full day of fun and activity. It’s obvious that the team takes the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

A special shout-out to Chad and the entire staff. They are consistently kind, professional, and attentive, and they go above and beyond to make both pets and their owners feel welcome. It’s rare to find a place where you know your dog is treated like family, but that’s exactly how it feels at Central Bark Brookfield.

I highly recommend Central Bark Brookfield to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and fun environment for their dog. Thank you for everything you do!

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Central Bark Brookfield. The staff truly cares about the dogs and treats them like family. From the moment we walk in, everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. It’s clear that the team takes the time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs.

One of the things I appreciate most is the peace of mind I have knowing my dog is in a safe, clean, and loving environment. My dog gets excited every time we pull into the parking lot, which says everything about how much he enjoys his time there!

The communication is excellent, and the staff always takes the time to share updates and let us know how the day went. I highly recommend Central Bark Brookfield to anyone looking for a daycare that genuinely loves and cares for dogs.

Thank you for taking such great care of our furry family member! 💜🐾💜
