Dog Boarding
for day care members
For dogs who regularly enjoy Enrichment Dog Day Care at Central Bark, sleepovers offer a seamless extension of their daily routine when your family is away overnight or on vacation. Your dog will spend the night in a familiar setting and continue participating in group day care activities with their friends during their stay. Our overnight dog boarding provides a calm and relaxing night in a comfortable place they already know and love.
Stay-n-Play
for occasional dog boarding guests
Our Stay-n-Play program offers boarding for dogs who are not currently enrolled in our day care program. Each overnight guest receives a restful night’s sleep, personalized attention, exercise, and plenty of TLC from our caring team. Stay-n-Play guests enjoy their own designated areas for sleeping and activities, ensuring a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable stay.

The staff and other clients are always so pleasant to chat with at drop offs and pickups which makes it feel like a sweet little community. Getting to go pick up Jasper at Central Bark is the best part of our day!
They also can accommodate our busy work schedules with early (6:30am) drop offs and late (7pm) pick ups. We are so grateful for the whole Asheville team!
At pickup, they took the time to give us a rundown of how he did throughout the day, which I appreciated. He apparently decided putting his harness back on was optional, and hearing the staff laughing and joking about him behind the door was cute. It was clear they were taking it in stride and treating him with patience.
The reason we chose them is that they incorporate enrichment activities into the day instead of just having dogs running around together for hours. It feels like a very thoughtful approach to daycare, and we’ll be back when we’re in town.
