Central Bark is the BEST!!! Kai usually takes at least 10 minutes to get into the car, but when I tell him he is going to "school", he jumps right in and I can't get there fast enough. Not only are the staff knowledgable and professional, but they love what they do, they love your kids, and it shows every time you see them! They can tell you every aspect of your little one's day, who they played with, what toys they liked, any silly mannerisms, and what things were new in their behavior. All of that, and for each dog in thier care! Dogs are always engaged, enriched, and challenged so they aren't just sitting around. Best of all you bring home a happy, healthy, and exhausted pup! Hands down Central Bark Philly is for the dogs!!!!

This place rules! My pup, Godiva, goes on Friday mornings and she's pooped for the whole weekend. When I pull up the the front door, her tail goes crazy... can't recommend the place enough!

Our dog, Brody, is our only child. He is a one and a half year-old boxer with plenty of "enthusiasm for life," or as some people call it, spastic energy, to go around!! When we found Central Bark we were so relieved to find a place that we could take Brody and feel confident that he would be taken care of and be able to burn off his energy! When Brody comes home from doggy dayacre he sleeps the rest of the night and the next of the day!! Plus he has met some really great friends that he loooves to play with! Portia and Anthony and all the staff at Central Bark have been amazing and seem to really love what they do. We would recommend Central Bark to any dog parents!

Millions of thanks to Portia, Anthony, and the staff at Central Bark. Our dog Sandy absolutely loves going there, and is very tired when she gets home! They are very dedicated and they always are so positve and caring! They make you feel that your dog is the best in the world! We wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of our girl!!!! They even sent a get well card when Sandy had to get spayed! I wish them all many more years of success!! Thanks again!!!

My 1 1/2 year old lab/boxer mix was the poster child for doggie ADHD until we found Central Bark. The benefits of just a couple of days a week there were quickly noticed by family, friends and neighbors. Shiloh is calmer, more focused, and extremely well socialized. I was impressed with the place and staff from day one and feel very lucky to have found them. Thank you to Partia, Anthony, and the crew for doing what they do so well and with so much love. If you are looking for a great daycare, check out Central Bark.

My dog loves going to Central Bark, he comes home tired after a day of activities and sleeps like a log.

Our seven year old Lab/Doberman mix is very nervous. The team at Central Bark have done wonders. He is happy and excited to go. They are a caring, wonderful staff. They even watched him for a week while we were on vacation. He returned with no trauma whatsoever. I highly recommend their service to everyone.

Central bark is highly recommended!! Portia is such a wonderful person and a true animal lover. She is an active volunteer for PAWS and even has fosters for the shelter as well. Central Bark is a great place for your doggies to have some fun and romp around with other fur friends. A+++

Anthony and Portia and the Central Bark team provide a warm, caring, fun and safe environment for your special pal. They care for your pet as you hope you do! They are flexible, priced fairly and go that extra mile to provide top notch service to both pups and their humans!

Thanks a million!

Isabelle is not the biggest fan of new people. To make matters worse, she was getting more and more uneasy around other dogs. She was hesitant and anxious the first few times I took her to Central Bark. After just a few sessions, she was pulling me through the door as if she could not wait to start her day there! Now, there is a noticeable change in her behavior. She is generally more relaxed and actually enjoys being around other dogs. The solution really was as simple as getting her to socialize with other dogs on a regular basis. Plus, running around all day and coming home happily exhausted doesn’t hurt either. Cesar Milan would be proud. Thank you Central Bark!

As a first time dog owner it was tough for me to leave Jack with anyone, but I had to go to work ;) Anthony and Portia are AWESOME. They answer my silly and paranoid questions, work around my schedule, and most importantly they love all the dogs that come in. Jack is a 5 mth old maniac that starts going nuts 2 blocks away form Central Bark. Most mornings he pulls me to the door and barely glances back at me at drop-off. I start an intensive program at school in Spetember and knowing that Jack will be with his buddies at Central Bark instead of home alone all day thrills me.
If you need a dog day care service, Central Bark is the place to go!

Can't say enough great things about Central Bark. Our Yorkie Bella loves going to Central Bark daycare. She knows her schedule and when its daycare day she is over the moon with excitement. She loves Portia, Anthony, the staff and her best doggie friends at daycare. She gets all of her energies out during the day and come home a happy tired girl!!! They are great, affordable and clean. We give Central Bark a paws up!

On the days that Buddy goes, he comes home Happy and Tired!!
I wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my Bud...He even enjoys his sleepovers!!
If your looking for a place that's not only affordable, but clean and professional too....Take your dog to Central Bark...You'll never go anywhere else!! They are the most caring dedicated, animal loving people around :-)

I love Central Bark! I get to play with other dogs - big and small, and when I start to get tired, the nice people give me a snack and I get to take a nice cool nap.

In the afternoons, they put water in a pool and I get to chase balls into it, and save them from drowning. So much fun!

It's the largest, cleanest facility I've ever seen, the staff really knows their stuff and has the credentials to back it up, but aside that, they really seem to care.
