Welcome to Central Bark Sussex, WI

Matt and Ashley Sander are the proud new owners of Central Bark Doggy Day Care Sussex, as of September 2017. They live in North Milwaukee with their two rescues pittie mixes and canine consultants, Tank and Zeus.

Ashley went from Chicago to Milwaukee to attend Marquette University graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with focus in Information Technology, Marketing and minor in Psychology. It quickly became apparent as to why Wisconsin was such a wonderful place to live and work. Matt relocated shortly thereafter while earning his degree in Automotive Technology at MATC.

Matt and Ashley have always shared an affinity for all animals, especially dogs, which has been illustrated during their childhood as Scout members, Ashley’s volunteer work at local shelters as a dog handler and photographer and Matt’s participation in a variety of behavior canine training courses with their dog, Zeus. They enjoy meeting and spending time with people and their four-legged kids from all walks of life through their community, recreational sports, various cross-country road trips, races and Groupon adventures. They are also passionate about non-profit foundations and look forward to becoming more involved in the village of Sussex.

Alongside their hardworking and dedicated staff, continued support from family and friends, Matt and Ashley are excited to join Central Bark and initiate this life changing chapter of their lives. Ashley, for the past six years, worked for a Global IT company in the financial services sector as a Project Management Professional and Certified Information Systems Auditor, which she will apply to the day to day operations at CBDDC.  Matt will keep his day job as a specialized mechanic for Mercedes Benz, but you will find him around the shop executing site renovations (duct tape in hand).

Ashley and Matt are grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your family and look forward in continuing to offer the same great service offerings where dogs can be dogs all the while ensuring a clean, happy, healthy, safe and social environment! They look forward to spending time with current customers, as well as welcoming new members to the Central Bark Sussex Pack.

“Love is a four-legged word.” The Central Bark Sussex team commits to sharing the same unconditional love for your four-legged kids every day while promoting a fun and safe energy outlet in a social, dog friendly environment.
