Bark Central Doggie Daycare and Boarding Resort - Chambersburg, Pennsylvania

T W.

We brought our two dogs in for a trial day before an upcoming boarding stay. While the staff was friendly and responsive, the facility itself raised several concerns. The outdoor area looked poorly maintained, and the indoor space didn’t appear to be climate-controlled. Only fans were in use during a heat wave.

When we picked the dogs up, they were soaked and covered in mud. We were told it was a pool day, which we understand, but the smell of stagnant water and ammonia was overwhelming. It took multiple baths and a lot of grooming to get the odor out.

We appreciated the courteous staff, but the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the facility didn’t meet our expectations. It is extremely frustrating to pick the dogs up and be met with hours of grooming work.

I take my boy Hershey to daycare at bark central. He loves going to play with all his friends. He truly gets so excited when we pull in unlike when we go to the vet lol he comes home tired from playing all day. The staff are all super nice and they post pics daily to their Facebook page which I love

My dog loves daycare at the Bark. Every time we go, he gets so excited to see everyone there and play with his doggie buddies. Great for socialization!

I nearly hit a dog that ran out in front of me while driving past here. There was an individual in the yard, but I have no idea why the dog wasn't on a leash. Definitely wouldn't trust my kids with paws to these guys!

This is a great place for you to keep your animals however, I noticed that the owner of the business treats her employees like dirt. I’ve overheard her cussing out employees and because of her unprofessional behavior I will not to keeping my dogs there anymore. I just wish that the owner of the business would treat people the way they deserve to be treated 🙁

I have had a wonderful relationship with Bark Central for years now. Both as an employee, and now a groomer located inside the building. Something that sticks out to me about Bark Central is how much they clean- more than any other kennel I have worked for. The play yards inside and out are cleaned thoroughly. My dog Vera has attended since she was 8 weeks old, she is now 5 and has wonderful social skills with all kinds of dogs. Now I have Sassy who is 6 months old, and very hard to tire out. When she goes to Bark Central, by the time we get home she’s ready to cuddle up on the couch with me. I always tell people that the same way we need socialization- dogs do too. Would recommend to anybody with a social dog!

Bark Central has been absolutely wonderful for my mini dachshund! He has made friends with the other little doggies and he gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot to drop him off for a day to play! The staff is always friendly and caring to my little buddy! He has even stayed several times for boarding and come back refreshed, happy and can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!
