Central Bark Rochester Rochester, Minnesota

They did a great job of giving my husky a bath. He’s not a fan of water but they worked well with him.

A great place for your pup! I cannot recommend Central Bark enough. The employees are so friendly and understanding, they make lots of accomodations for your pets specific needs and it is the most sanitary and well organized daycare I have ever been to. 5 Stars!!

We have been taking our energetic German Shepherd/Lab pup, Nala, to Central Bark's Enrichment Daycare for awhile now, and I couldn't recommend this facility enough! The owner and staff are amazing, have fantastic customer service, and make scheduling appointments a breeze. Most importantly, Nala absolutely loves her doggy daycare friends and the humans that take care of her, too.

This is a great place if you need someone to watch your pets. It is real obvious that staff loves dogs and within a day they knew our 3 very well. We usually never trust our dogs with others but felt very comfortable with them being there. Highly recommend!

I usually have a lot of anxiety leaving my dog behind when I go out of town, but most of that disappeared when I first let her stay at Central Bark. I know she will have a nice, interactive time there with their staff members whom I know will love and care for her while I'm away. They are so positive and thoughtful, and they're great at communicating with us. I know she is safe and happy in their hands every time I drop her off.

I don't know where to begin! I brought my puppy in to be groomed. She is 6.5 months old and I had taken her to a big name store over by Target North 3 times and all they could do is give her a bath because she was just too much... Too wiggly or too anxious, whatever. I don't want to say I doubted that, but I just didn't see it at home so I felt lost. The very first time I brought her to Central Bark, with in a minute the groomer had Daisy at ease. Not only that but she got through a full groom! I am not saying the other place was "wrong" but I think the individual time my dog got at Central Bark contributed to the success of her cut. All around it was such a great experience and I can't wait to bring Daisy back.

We love Central Bark. Our dog has gone twice a week for most of the year. She gets socialization, crate training time, and comes home tired. I appreciate the drop off and pickup hours, and the additional services like nail trims and baths. They also take dogs for overnight boarding. I highly recommend trusting them with your dog.

This place has been amazing for my pup. And they check in with you on overnights with pictures and notes. Highly recommend.

They have many services that we would love to try. So far we get our dogs groomed there and we love our groomer! She is fantastic because she cares. She does a great job!

Congrats on your 2nd Anniversary! We were lucky enough to leave our 2 beagles with you a few weeks ago. We were visiting in town and needed a place for them to play for the day. Abby was so kind and helpful in getting us in that day. The dogs did great and were even comfortable playing with other dogs within a short time of arriving. The staff was very welcoming and kind and seemed to bond with our dogs right away. We will definitely come back next time we are in town! Thanks so much.

This dog daycare is the BEST daycare my dog had attended in her 13 years of life. The staff are caring, compassionate and reliable. Central Bark became my dogs favorite place during the week. She was always so excited to be there and just as excited to come home at the end of the day! I highly recommend this place!

Outstanding care for our young puppy during a time we had to visit the Mayo Clinic with our own anxieties. Pup had a great time on three separate visits. We visited from "way out of town". Super easy to find, super great care and courtesy shown clients and owners for both daycare playtime and overnight stays.

I was waiting for a few visits before I did my review. I wanted to see Thor's reaction to the building during the first few visits because that would tell me what he thinks of it there! He LOVES LOVES LOVES it at Central Bark. When we get to the building, he paws at the door to get in. Once he's in, he doesn't even think twice before he greets the staff and heads to the door where his buds are. He wears a GPS tracker and the last two visits he's put on 12.3 & 12.5 miles while he's there and considering he's a Doodle with a TON of energy, it's great to have him get that out of his system. The staff have been excellent to work with and I love the pictures that get put on Facebook so I can see how his day was and most of all, I know he's safe while he's playing. My plan of having him go one day a week turned into two. :-)

Awesome place to take your pet for grooming needs. Staff is always welcoming and they truly care for the animals.

Riza loves every single thing about Central Bark When we got our new puppy we wanted to make sure she was well socialized and used to spending days without us in case we both end up with office jobs again (I work from home). She’s routinely gotten praise and she comes home the happiest and the most tired. And also stinky, but people who leave a bad review for a stinky dog are ignoring that when a dog plays hard they’re rolling in dirt, water, and spit, let alone if you’ve got one with a penchant for sticking their head in a “stream” (Riza). For us, when we toured the facility was very clean, and they take and post pictures daily of all the pups and even with all the dogs running around all day it’s always super clean. The staff are all super friendly and seem to really love their jobs — or at least really love the dogs so you’d never know. Central Bark is also on the ball with keeping track of vaccinations & will mention if you’ve got something close to expiring - an added perk for sure since it’s easy to miss an email from the vet. I love them, I think their prices are reasonable and well worth it, and I hope to let Riza come to daycare for as long as we possibly can.

I would not recommend choosing the facility to train canine breeds that are not common in the area. The capability of a successful training for the particular canine was not shown in an adequate knowledge or in training for the dog breed to help him feel in a comfortable environment. After a stressful day, our dog came home dehydrated and unsettled.

Everything about Central Bark in Rochester is excellent. The staff are so welcoming and accommodating. Christine the groomer is simply fantastic and not only loves our pup, but is a skilled and careful groomer. Our pup needs special grooming to ensure she stays mat and tangle free. Christine is knowledgeable about her coat and always asks good questions. We love spa day!

Every M/W/F we ask our dog "do you want to go to school?" And she goes absolutely bonkers because that means she's going to Central Bark. Our doggo absolutely loves it here! Her tail wags so hard walking up to the building I'm surprised it doesn't launch off her body. The staff is incredible and you can tell how much they love the dogs that go there. The best part about the place is that they upload pictures from each day so even though I'm chained to my desk at work I can still see photos of my fur baby which makes my 9-5 *slightly* less mundane. Maybe one day my dog and I can trade places and she can go to work for me while I go play at CB?

Central Bark does a fantastic job watching our fur babies, but more than that - they genuinely care about the overall health and well-being of my dog! My dog suffers from food allergies along with cracked jowls. With the recommendation from Lenny and the team, not only does she not have reactions to her food anymore since changing to their high-quality brands, but her jowls have also improved! I used their paw wax made out of natural ingredients including beeswax, coconut oil and avocado oil. Not only is it safe for my dog, but it's like she has her own "doggy chap stick" that she applies! I could not recommend Central Bark enough for their superior customer service and excellent care of dogs! They really do live their Mission of "helping your dog live a whole, healthy and happy life!"

The BEST grooming in the area. Highly recommend.

Such an amazing location (right off the highway) and staff! Emily & Lenny are such dedicated owners and always going above and beyond. Your dog will be well taken care of and have so much fun.

This new doggie day care and grooming center is an awesome place to take your pet for some social time with other dogs and for specialized care from the experts. Your dog deserves to be pampered and this is the place for specialized care, empathetic staff, and vibrant surroundings both in and out! I highly recommend this business for all your pet care needs!

Have you ever been reluctant to leave your beloved dog anywhere except with a close friend or relative; we sure have?! However, we found ourselves in a real jam in a city 1/2 way across the country from anyone we knew. We were so fortunate to find the outstanding owner, staff and groomer at Central Bark, Rochester MN who have gone way above and beyond to assist with caring for our 7 YO dog, as one of our family members receives frequent medical care at Mayo clinic (our home is FL). Our dog enjoys regular doggy daycare days where she can romp and play inside and outside in the “gyms” with the loving, caring staff, or chill out if she chooses. Plus, her grooms are the best she has ever received!! Some of the staff have become her substitute “family” to our precious dog and we KNOW she is safe and has a good time “hanging out” with the gang! We are certain you can trust your dog to be well cared for and have a blast at Central Bark, Rochester, MN. Thank you to the entire Central Bark, Rochester, MN team!!!

They did a great job taking care of our little guys while we were at Mayo! Very nice staff!

Friendly staff. They only use positive reinforcement with their dog activities. Very nice.

Extremely friendly clean and accommodating.

My 12 yr old German short hair still has so much energy, I love taking her to Central Bark to keep her healthy and vibrant!

Great place to take your dog for total care from grooming to play care to boarding. Their spa also does an outstanding job for grooming needs. This place is the best!

Friendly and professional staff and high quality grooming results.

Kristine does a beautiful grooming for my sheltie! Very reasonable pricing.
