About Central Bark York

I am a passionate dog lover who’s dedicated to making a positive impact in my hometown of York, PA. I am so proud to have opened a Central Bark Dog Day Care because I wanted a place that offers amazing, healthy, and happy whole dog care to every dog in our community. I have loved and owned dogs my entire life, and recently, we welcomed Jake, a King Charles Cavalier, as the newest addition to our family. In addition to my passion for dogs, I enjoy staying involved with the York Suburban School District because it’s important to me to provide the absolute best for my daughters, Jackie and Emily, who attend school there.

When I’m not at Central Bark, I cherish spending time with my family and our dogs, and I love volunteering at York Suburban alongside my girls.

“We welcome you to join our Central Bark family.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I stay with my dog at the groomers?

You do not need to stay with your dog during their grooming appointment. Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during their bathing and grooming experience. If your pup is feeling a little unsure, ask our training team about ways to enrich their experience and help create positive associations by using positive reward-based training methods.

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 Does the Staff Manage Dogs With Different Energy Levels or Personalities in the Playgroups?

Our dog socialization day care is built on a unique system of “flexible playgroups” to ensure a safe and positive social environment for every dog. We carefully match your dog with friends based on their age, personality, size, and play style, creating a balanced and stress-free environment. This is especially beneficial for day care for dogs with anxiety or shy puppies, as it provides a low-pressure way for them to build confidence and have a great time.

How much does it cost to board a dog?

Boarding service pricing may vary by service and location, as well as the length of stay.
