Central bark in Grayslake is an Amazing facility it is so clean professional all of the staff. Their customer service skills are off the charts such a pleasant experience they exceeded my expectations going above and beyond GINGER My dog is a year and a half years old she absolutely loves going to daycare.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I purchase a single training session or do I have to buy a package?

Our Training Tutor and Enrichment services are available as add-ons to your dog’s day care visit, and while single sessions are available, packages are also offered for your convenience. Please note that prepaid packages are nonrefundable, and all sales are final. We recommend speaking with an associate to determine the best option for your dog’s training needs.

How can I be sure that the play space is clean, odor & disease-free, comfortable and safe for the stated capacity of the center?

Central Bark® is licensed and inspected by the Health Department regularly. We also clean and disinfect nightly, regardless of how many dogs have visited.

Can I join my dog in the training sessions?

While the Training Tutor, One-on-One Enrichment, and Rest Period Enrichment services are provided by our staff during your dog’s day care visit, Central Bark Fort Lauderdale also partners with Sue of We Love Dogs! to host group training classes. These classes are designed to help you and your dog refine skills together in a supportive environment. You can call the provided number to learn more about class schedules.

What is Stay-n-Play?

Our Stay-n-Play program offers boarding for dogs that have not enrolled in our day care program. Each overnight guest gets a restful night’s sleep, followed by a day of play, exercise, and plenty of TLC from our staff. Stay-n-Play guests sleep and play in their own designated areas.
