Central Bark Grayslake

We boarded our 2 labradoodles with Central Bark Grayslake for 2 weeks while we went on vacation to Italy. Fonzie and Roux have been regular daycare pups and overnighters there since they have been 10 week old puppies. The staff there is AMAZING and they treat our pups with so much love and care. While we were away, they gave daily private updates and posted daily pictures on their Facebook page. Since we were gone for a long period of time, our pups stayed in the luxury accommodations, which gave them enough room to explore, stretch out, and be stress free during their stay. Knowing they were in excellent care helped us have a relaxing and worry free trip. Big shout out to Central Bark Grayslake doggie handlers Holiday, Colin, Michelle and Ashley for taking such great care of Fonzie and Roux. They even arranged a bath for the pups on their day of pick-up so they were extra soft and cuddly when we brought them home. Thanks Central Bark! So happy you are part of our Grayslake community!

Love Central Bark grooming. I've been taking my mini golden doodle there for many years. The entire staff is helpful, accommodating and friendly and Vanessa does a fabulous job grooming my little one. Ten out of ten.

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.

We love Central Bark! The daycare staff team there are all so sweet and caring. We started bringing Clementine after we lost her dog brother, and the extra socialization time with other dogs has been wonderful for her. I can tell our Clementine loves going to Central Bark so much - she starts wagging her tail very excitedly as soon as we enter the parking lot and she realizes she’s at “school!” I love that they post pictures every day so I can see Clementine with the new friends she makes at daycare. We also recently added a new puppy to our family - Carmella - and she enjoyed attending Puppy Hour on Saturdays. They do such a good job letting the puppies explore and play but also keeping them safe and teaching them boundaries. I would highly recommend Central Bark in Grayslake for anyone looking for a reliable and enriching doggy daycare experience! As you can tell from the photos, my dogs have the best time there and are all smiles!
