Sarah Montanarini, September 2025
I'm voting for my kennel because they are absolutely fantastic! The care they give to the dogs is excellent and my pup always comes back happy and exhausted. My dog loves attending there, and it’s clear he is treated like part of the family. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better place—it's like a second home for my furry friend! It truly gives me peace of mind when I go on holiday, knowing that he’s in such caring and loving hands.

I CAN NOT recommend Centre Barks ENOUGH. They are absolutely superb at what they doing and our Winnie loves going there. When Winnie gets out of the car she runs straight to the office and behind the desk to give the staff a massive kiss and cuddle. We won’t take Winnie anywhere else.

Charlene Brown, September 2025
After long hard thoughts of using a dog sitting service or boarding else where we were still unsure on how we felt towards either option but once we visited Centre Barks our minds were made up instantly. We were walked throughout the buildings and talked through all options that are offered.
We booked Bruno (Doberman) who has never been away from home without us in for his trial and stay right away and had many since. He absolutely loves it!
We will be sure to keep on using Centre Barks and have highly recommended it to its of friends and family.

They are absolutely amazing at Centre Barks and Louis my little French bulldog loves going, he loves it that much he screams when we get there so he can go and play with all his mates. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff and you can see how much they not only love the dogs but their jobs. I would recommend to anyone and they deserve to be recognised for their excellent care.

Their service is outstanding. Our dog Jess has come on so much in her social and confident skills and thats from all their love and dedication to make sure she is happy when she is either boarding or daycare.
Alicia Goodwin, September 2025
Centre barks are absolutely fabulous. We have what is arguably to challenging dogs in terms of stimulation and reactivity. They accommodate their needs perfectly and they always come home happy and sleep for days! The staff are very friendly and treat the dogs like their own, I have recommended centre barks to many and they truly are the beat day care/boarding I have ever used!

Friendly staff, providing support and care to all animals staying and playing!
Lauren Donnelly, September 2025
The staff at Centre Barks are outstanding and go the extra mile for the pets in their care. Our dog became deaf and everyone made such an effort to learn hand signals to communicate.
Our dog doesn't look back when we drop him off, and I'm sure he's disappointed when he gets picked back up.
Having such caring and attentive staff has made such a difference, and we feel comfort in knowing that our dog is well looked after and attended to during his stay.
Christopher Harris, September 2025

Tim Longstaff, September 2025
All of our boys love going to Centre Barks on holiday. We recently dropped them off for a week for our holiday and whilst we were slightly emotional at drop as we knew we would miss them, the boys were so excited to be staying. They went away tails wagging and excited to stay and play. Even our cat loves staying there and gets lots of fusses. The staff are amazing with them all, lots of attention and cuddles. They are also skilled in what they do. All of our boys are our babies and we wouldn’t leave them anywhere else.
Katie McQuade, September 2025
We have had our late rescue beagle here for years, up until the last weeks of her life where she loved it, she gained so much confidence, had so much socialisation and was cared for so well. We have started bringing our new rescue beagle here now who is a lot more timid but it’s helping her confidence so much

Amy Summerson, September 2025
Centre Barks is amazing! My staffy stan comes for socialisation in daycare and loves it. Staff are very knowledgeable and care for your furry friends so well. The secure field is also amazing! Having 2 reactive staffys means I can let them off and they can play without having the worry of meeting another dog. Would recommend to anyone.
Claire Greenwell, September 2025
My dogs absolutely love going here, they have so much fun. I was nervous of putting them in kennels at first, as they are very big dogs and don't like other dogs. The staff were so friendly, supportive and reassured me, let me have a look around and now my dogs go nearly every year, they have fun on their holiday as much as I do
Catherine Small, September 2025
My puppy who is now 10 months old has been going to centre Barks since February this year, she absolutely loves it , can’t wait to get in the place, bounces in and doesn’t look back.

Chris Prudhoe, September 2025
Centre Barks is an amazing place for dogs to go on holiday while their hooman companions go on theirs. They have everything the pooches will need to enjoy themselves from a swimming pool to large fields and varied play areas. The staff are attentive to each dog’s individual needs and really know their stuff. I would highly recommend Centre Barks as a home away from home for your dog.
Dawn Clark, September 2025
The most important thing for me is to see how happy and excited my dogs are when we arrive, they are eager to get in and play. I board my dogs here and they go to dqycare,
the staff are fantastic and accomodate the needs of my dogs. I also love to see the daily stay and play photos when they are boarding, they always look so happy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Centre Barks to anyone abaolutely fantastic and they thoroughly deserve to be recognised for the work and service they provide to my pets and other pets.
Anya Harrison, September 2025

Centre Barks is hands-down the best place I’ve ever taken my dog. The staff are so friendly, caring, and clearly love what they do.

Our boyo has been going to Centre Barks for 3 years and he absolutely loves it. I was initially nervous about leaving him due to him being a rescue dog but they were very reassuring and welcomed us in to show us around, answering our questions. He loves to go every time and is sooooo excited, he comes home exhausted and in the pictures they take you can see the smile in his eyes and across his face. He is treated like family as are we! I would give them more than 5 stars!!
Lucy atkinson, September 2024
great care of both the dogs and cats.
Claire Pollock, September 2024
My 3 dogs stay at centre Barks, one being very nervous of people. It’s the only place with people other than family members where he seems very relaxed and content. My boys go and in with excitement.

Lauren Donnelly, August 2024
Centre Barks is a genuinely wonderful establishment, and it is very clear that all the staff working there are very passionate about the care of animals. Henry has been going for years, and it is the only kennels he has been to where he leaves us without fuss and without looking back.
Since using the kennels, Henry has become deaf and communicates by sign language. All staff members have been wonderful and have taken the time to learn his hand signals to talk to him during his stays.
Henry loves the kennels and the staff, and we love that Henry is happy and well-cared for. Centre Barks is always my recommendation for those looking for a kennel or day care.
Kerrie Hadfield, August 2024

Our spaniel Buddy loves it at CenterBarks !
Staff always make a fuss of him which he loves and we feel so happy on holiday when we see all the photos of him having a ball.

Liss Clayton, August 2024

Maggie Gilchrist, August 2024
My dog loves staying at centre barks, he leaves me to go with the girls wagging his tail and never looks back.
Amy Summerson, August 2024
My dog absolutely loves coming in for daycare. He’s a very social boy who doesn’t get to mix much with other dogs as my other 2 are dog reactive. He gets the freedom to run around and mix with other dogs in a safe and controlled environment and always comes back tired and happy. I know when he’s there he’s always given the best care and that he’s safe. Would recommend to everyone.
Elisha Bradley, August 2024
My puppy Lilly absolutely loves coming to Center Barks once a week.

They’re the best around :)

Kirsty Littlefair, August 2024
We were very nervous when we first put our dog in kennels whilst we were away on holiday, but the staff at centre barks were amazing. They kept us updated daily with pictures of what he was up to and we could see just how much fun he has had. Needless to say, we soon used them again and our pooch now loves going there. It's like his 2nd home. The staff are polite, professional and extremely hard working. They all deserve every recognition
Claire Greenwell, August 2024
Excellent staff, friendly service, brilliant dog facilities, my dogs loved it.
Laura Bird, August 2024
Both of Cat and Puppy stay here and they genuine look disappointed when we come to take them home!
Great facilities for boarding and the play park, it's always clean and tidy and well stocked with supplies.
We feel safe leaving our boys here and know they'll have a great time, which we get daily pictures and videos of!
The staff are second to none, I can't recommend enough x

There are no words other than outstanding in all areas at Centre Barks. The whole establishment is meticulously clean, well organised with more than enough activities for all types of dogs. The staff are well informed and clearly have your dogs best interest at heart. Their enclosed play paddock is a bonus along with the facility to wash your pooch on-site ! On viewing the kennels all dogs were very content which you rarely see so credit where it's due to this fantastic centre and a huge THANK YOU for helping me bring round my rescued terrier !!
Caroline Laskey, August 2024
Because they are the best kennels we have ever used and they deserve this award

Centre barks (Sedgefield) not only has excellent facilities but the staff are super friendly, our dog loves going there and we know she is cared for, loved and has a great time.
The centre barks team well deserve the award and recognition for the hard work they do.
Alison Ogle, August 2024
Our 9 year old female pug Chilli had never stayed in kennels until we went on holiday in June. When we picked her up, she had had a wonderful time.
The thing I love about Centre Barks is the dedication and care of the staff. Every day, as they promised us, they posted pictures of Chilli out and about on their Facebook page.
It was so lovely to see her so relaxed and happy. It gave us the reassurance we needed so that we could relax and enjoy our time away, too.
Chilli was taking several lots of medication while she was in kennels, and the fact they had two members of staff who were animal first aid trained and could give her the medication at the right times and doses was fantastic.
They were absolutely superb with Chilli and we can't recommend them enough. They also do a pick-up and drop-off service which is amazing! We don't have our own car, so this really appeals to us. At £9 one way, that's extremely reasonable.
We wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thank you so much for looking after our baby girl, and all your hard work making sure every dog has as wonderful a stay as possible.
Cheryl Mould, August 2024

I have a rescue American English bulldog who suffered with separation when I first adopted her, I placed her in centrebarks for a night as a test to see how she would go and immediately I felt so relieved as I knew she would be looked after and have lots of fun. They upload pictures everyday so dog owners can see there pets, they give the dogs activities they love, my bulldog loves balls and water so they allow her to play in the pool with her footballs. My dog is so settled, she runs into there now without having an anxiety and loves to have her stays over and I love the fact she is well cared for, well looked after and absolute loves going to centre barks

To me this is a sign she's happy and content with staff and we love the report at the end of the stay. We love the fact Skye can have off lead walks, to bond and play with staff and toys. It's also reassuring we can see pictures and communication is brilliant between owner and the team. Thank you Centre Barks love Skye and family x
