Central Bark 

Whole Dog Care Services

About Us

Over 20 years ago, Jackie Jordan and Chris Gaba founded Central Bark on the principle that our furry friends deserve the utmost care. They were driven by their love for their canine companions and recognized the lack of safe spaces for dogs to play and exercise. Central Bark quickly became a haven where dogs received the love, attention, and stimulation necessary for their well-being, enriching not only their lives but also those of their human counterparts. Families found solace in knowing their pets were happier and healthier, while communities gained a gathering place for dog enthusiasts.

Today, Central Bark stands as one of the nation's premier networks of dog daycares, rooted in its unique Whole Dog Care philosophy. Their holistic approach, blending decades of experience with cutting-edge behavioral science, goes beyond traditional doggy daycares to offer enrichment activities, boarding, grooming, training, and more. With over two decades of dedication, Central Bark continues to evolve while remaining true to its core values, extending an open invitation to dog owners everywhere to join their Central Bark family, where every member—human and canine alike—is welcomed with open arms.
