Bark Central

Bark central is such a great dog daycare. The staff are so sweet and my baby girl loves when I drop her off. She has another friend that goes there as well. Not only are they great at dog sitting but their grooming is reasonably priced and they do a good job. It’s a great safe place for my dog to socialize and meet new friends while I take care of hectic times in life. I’m so thankful for bark central.

I’m getting married out of the country and trying to find somewhere for my furry best friend to stay overnight was the biggest stressor of wedding planning for me. The people at Bark Central made me feel so comfortable and excited about leaving Sam with them for an extended period of time. Even when my fiancé told them how crazy I was about wanting to call and check in on my pup. They were completely fine with it and promised to upload pictures of him to their FB page daily!
Thanks Bark Central!

Bark Central was the first daycare willing to give my dog a trial. (He can be territorial when I’m around but is fine when I’m not.) He passed his trial with flying colors (as I knew he would) and stayed two weeks at Bark Central while I was away on a trip.
Every interaction I’ve had with the staff has been awesome. I’m really impressed by their kindness. I was hesitant about the price – $ 27 per day for boarding – but I love that my dog was able to basically have free daycare along with his stay. That alone was worth the price.
The difference between this dog vacation and the last was stark. The last stay involved Boss basically living in a large dog pound-​type cage all week and being let out three times a day to pee. He was extremely anxious and eager to leave when I came to pick him up. This time around, he was happy to see me, but he was well exercised and calm. He made a lot of friends.
Well, what else can I say? I love my dog, I care about giving him the best experience I can afford, and I will definitely take him back to Bark Central.

Dropped my dogs off for their free 3 hour trial period! It looks like a converted house so they have separate rooms for different types and sizes of dogs.
They are doing some room renovations. They have a grass area for potty time and they have pools! There’s a raised pool and a lower pool (uh-​oh! My husky will be coming home soaked! & tired (:)
I LOVE that it’s half a mile from our house!
The prices seem to be reasonable! $ 49 for both my dogs for one night.
Amanda is great! She watches over a ton of dogs and has a good handle on things, she seems to work well with the dogs. Can’t wait to drop off my pets for the weekend and have them completely tuckered!

My dog Bert and I were in town for a few months and I needed a place that Bert could go to while I worked and board when I was away. Bark Central turned out to be a blessing. We passed a few other places to get to this one but it was worth the trip. The staff are incredibly friendly and Bert’s tail always started to wag once we made it to the parking lot. Bert came home tired and happy :)
They are on top of making sure everyone is up to date on vaccinations. But the best part is seeing the photos on Facebook of the dogs having a great time, it always brightened my day, especially when I was out of town. Thanks for being such a great place for Bert. We will miss it!

I have been taking my puppy Henry to Bark Central ever since we moved to Tacoma a while back. It is so great because I commute to Redmond every day and I can drop him off before I leave in the early mornings. He loves Bark Central so much, he can’t wait to jump out of the car as soon as we get there. I love seeing photos and video online of them while I’m at work. He is always so happy and very exhausted by the time the day is over. I absolutely recommend this day care!

I cannot say enough positive things about Bark Central. We toured quite a few boarding/​day cares before stumbling across Bark Central and we are so glad we did! We have taken our dog here for boarding (he is soon to be a daycare doggie too) and he always comes home happy and exhausted! My favorite part is that the owner takes pictures and videos of the dogs and uploads them to their facebook page. Actually being able to see that Dexter is happy, safe & playing with all the other «bigs» lessens my anxiety of being away from him big time — this peace of mind is absolutely priceless. We also love the home-​style boarding so that the dogs get to play and socialize and are not in kennels all day long (only for sleeping and meals). Dex was home with us over the holidays, but I saw on the facebook page that the dogs who did stay with Bark Central got special themed Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners — how cute is that? Bark Central really goes the extra mile.

How does a dog tell you that this is a great place? Well, Boo Radley began by getting excited as we turned the corner on her second day of day care. By the second week, she was baying in the car when we were within ten blocks. Now Boo Radley is as excited when we get off the freeway exit as she is when I walk in at the end of the day. That’s Boo Rad’s perspective.
My enthusiasm is shown slightly differently, but not any less. The owners are conscientious so I know there are no dogs without shots there. They are personable and welcoming. This is a great facility. I tell my friends, it’s like an old Victorian house, cleared out and decorated for a dog party. A place for the «smalls», a place for the «big dogs», a doggie door that leads to two big yards and one small one so there’s ample room for good dog pack fun. I’ve even seen a few «smalls» in some Zen meditation on little dog beds in a quieter room. Boo Radley would have no interest in that, she is 1000 miles a minute. BUT, when I come to pick her up, she hops in the car and goes straight into nap time.
What else could I ask for? My dog was well taken care of, I’m updated and welcomed when I arrived, my dog got to run around and frolick with her buddies all day, and she’s relaxed at the end. Boo Radley and I recommend it!

Very pleased with owner and staff. I needed to find a place for my puppy for two weeks with very short notice. Bark Central was not only more affordable than many other kennels in the area and on the military post (over $ 10 cheaper a day), but they were also more accommodating to puppies than many of the others.
They take puppies with up to date shots and still allow your puppy to socialize with other dogs despite not being neutered/​spayed, since they are not yet old enough.
Before I made the boarding reservation, the owner allowed my puppy to spend a cost free day in the daycare to ensure he did well there and was a good fit.
While I was out of town, the staff sent me photos and video of my puppy and updates on how well he did at night, etc.
When I brought my puppy home he did not have any signs/​symptoms of kennel cough and was still very well adjusted and happy.
I will return to Bark Central for all of my pet daycare/​boarding needs.
Thanks Jackie!

My dogs are like family … and the Bark Central LLC staff does a phenomenal job of taking care of them!
