What Dog Owners in Poughkeepsie Say About Central Bark
I’ve been bringing my Aussie Jojo here for a year, and I can’t recommend them enough! They always book us in quickly, they’re responsive, and I get consistent updates and follow-ups while he is staying overnight. The grooming is fantastic—Heather always has Jojo looking and feeling great, with perfect nails and a happy demeanor. Plus, the staff is wonderful. special shoutout to the front desk team and the owner, Denise, for making every visit a breeze!
Great place!! They did an amazing job on my pup!! Would recommend this wonderful business to anyone!!
Update: Molly was boarded for a few days. We received daily videos and messages. My puppy girl was clearly in good hands. She looked like she was having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Central Bark for day and overnight stays. They are the best. Every single staff person clearly loves dogs and it shows in their care. We picked olly up today and she looks just as she should, happy and healthy.
Our bulldog loves his visits to Central Bark! He runs to the entrance when we arrive and Denise and the entire staff take such excellent care of him. It’s very clear how much they care about the facility and the quality experience the dogs have. It’s been really good for our bully socially and his energy is better overall. I recommend them whole-heartedly!!
DAY 5, week three. our lab hound gets super excited when he knows he’s getting in the car but even more so as he gets closer to Central Bark. A good sign. He wants to jump right out and start sniffing/A.k.a. reading the morning Newspaper
They tell me he’s a bit shy, which is OK. But he seems to be enjoying himself and having more engagement than I can provide in the winter at home.
The parking lot is enormous so there’s very little risk of getting too close to the other dogs as they are scurrying around on their way into the building.
We are able to adjust accordingly, so William doesn’t get too hyper-social too soon.
Arriving on the early side works for us because the early morning 6:30-6:45 am seems a little bit more calm as we hand him off to the enrichment team.
NO-pack. Just GO:
Unlike sending your kid to kindergarten, you don’t have to pack a lunch or toys, or anything else for that matter.
Everything your dog will need is provided for the day.
BOARDING/overnight: It’s going so well that we are considering boarding him one night while I’m out of town.
This would ordinarily be nerve-racking because he is a rescue and spent too much time in a kennel environment at the rescue shelter. But he seems comfortable here, so I’m strongly considering it.
STAFFING: Denise, the owner is absolutely wonderful. And she seems to have surrounded herself with a really lovely team.
It’s still early for me to point out one particular person so I’ll check back in with you all. Suffice it to say that so far, so good.
