What Dog Owners in Orlando East Say About Central Bark
The staff is great and our two dogs love going to daycare. It’s the highlight of their week!
Couldn’t ask for more! We were on vacation for 2 weeks in Orlando and got a referral from a family member for Central Bark. They ABSOLUTELY lived up to their reputation. We’ve never left our puppy (1-yr old mini golden doodle) for more than a week in boarding, so this was a stretch for us (especially the kids). The process was easy, professional and friendly the whole way through. The staff are top notch and their communication is outstanding. Pics, report cards, consistency, quality of facilities, hours, play items, response time, grooming quality, etc. were all top notch. You get what you pay for! Highly recommend!
My pup loves his new enrichment day care!!!!
I was a bit hesitant when boarding my dog here as they do not have camera access for customers but they were the closest for boarding for our pup! They send you cute little updates daily on your pup and safe to say that definitely eased me and my fiancée’s mind tremendously! Lauren was a big help in answering my hundreds of questions when booking. The team is super friendly and care about the pups. Definitely will be using services again!
We’ve been going to Central Bark for two years now, and frankly, it’s become a problem.
Problem #1: They know Miguel. Like, really know him. His quirks, his crew, his preferred petting style, and what treats he likes. They also know my car which is cool until I realize I’m not even the main character in my car. I’m barely out of my Kia and they’re already yelling “Miguel!!” like he’s the face of Milk-bone.
Problem #2: Miguel has more friends than I do. He’s in a clique. He plays with his buddies like he’s in an exclusive dog fraternity. Every time I pick him up, he’s acting like he just got back from a networking event for cool dogs.
Problem #3: They send me videos. Cute, funny, painfully adorable videos of Miguel doing zoomies, playing tag, eating bubbles, or living his best dog life. It’s honestly rude how much fun he’s having without me. But I save them all. I’ve shown coworkers and strangers unprovoked. I am not okay.
Problem #4: He comes home tired. And I’m not talking a little tired, I mean snoring, dreaming, twitching-paws kind of tired. It’s the kind of rest that says, “I’ve had an emotionally fulfilling day without you.” I’m no longer the center of his universe. I’ve been demoted to spare human status. Miguel’s Uber driver who brings him to his real humans, Athena, Lauren and Brian.
And the most dangerous part? He LOVES it. He sprints to the door. He doesn’t look back. I’m just there to drop him off and pay the bill. He’s living his best life and I’m his part-time assistant. His plus one. I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts packing a bag on daycare mornings. If he knew how to drive, I know he’d drive there and pick up his bestie Luca on the way.
So yes, if you want your dog to be treated like canine royalty, make lifelong friends, get hilarious video updates, and come home blissfully exhausted then Central Bark is the place.
Just be prepared to be demoted to “supporting role” in your own dog’s life. I heard him call me “Background Human #8” the last time I picked him up and he was saying bye to his friends.
17/10. Miguel-approved. Human slightly jealous.

Excellent place to take your dog to! Our dog loves going here.
