The Carol’s and staff are great. They take excellent care of the facility and most importantly the pets in their stay. I’ve had experiences with a few boarding facilities. By far, Central Bark Danbury has been the best experience. I think my dogs had a better time there than they do at home. I have found a home away from home for my pets at Central Bark Danbury.
We boarded our Boston Terrier, George, at Central Bark Danbury for 2 weeks while we traveled. Carol and her team took such good care of him. George showed no signs of stress or anxiety upon our return. George is a finicky eater, and I was concerned he wouldn’t eat while we were gone, but Carol worked with him and got him to eat each day. I feel Very comfortable and satisfied with the care they provided. George goes to Daycare each Monday and comes home quite happy. I’m really grateful for everyone at Central Bark Danbury.
Central Bark in Danbury, CT is absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk in, Carol and her team greets you with such warmth and enthusiasm that you instantly know your dog is in great hands. Drop-off is always smooth and welcoming, and it truly feels like the staff is just as excited to see my dog as he is to be there. Picking him up is just as great—the staff is always friendly, happy to see you, and ready with updates. You can tell they genuinely care about every dog that comes through the door.
The biggest sign of how great Central Bark is… My dog Shaw goes crazy with excitement the moment he realizes it’s a daycare day. He knows exactly where he’s going and can’t wait to get there. That peace of mind is priceless.
I couldn’t recommend Central Bark Danbury enough. Carol and her team is incredible, the energy is positive, and they treat your dog like family. 🐾

We are very pleased with Central Bark daycare. Charlie can’t get in there fast enough when we pull into the parking lot. We like that the day is structured verses free play all day. Also impressed by how clean the place is, and Charlie never comes home smelling like a dog 😊🐶
Central Bark Danbury provided an exceptional experience for our pup, Scooby. From the moment we boarded him for a week, we felt assured that he was in loving and attentive hands. The staff treated Scooby with genuine care and kindness, ensuring all his needs were met. Their dedication and warmth made this the best boarding experience for both us and our dog. We are truly grateful for their outstanding service. We are happy paw-rents.
I booked an overnight/nail trim to see how my chihuahua would do. I picked up a happy dog. Her nails are nicely trimmed and they don’t have rough cut edges which is a nice touch. I appreciate the care they took with my sweet girl.
Ps: this was a first experience for my pup. She has not been boarded before.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose doggy day care for your dog?
There’s no bond like the one between our furry best friends and us. We love our dogs and want to give them the best life possible. But it can be challenging to fulfill all their needs to stay healthy and happy for a lifetime. Doggy day care gives pups a place to play and learn in a safe environment, with the socialization, mental stimulation, and physical exercise their minds and bodies need to stay healthy for a lifetime.
- Dogs get to socialize. Dogs are social creatures. Positive experiences with new humans, new dogs, and new environments are essential to a well-rounded pup.
- Dogs learn social skills. Dogs learn from other dogs – they’re always teaching each other what is (and isn’t) appropriate social behavior. Doggy day care staff can also help support safe play and practice healthy social behaviors.
- Dogs get more exercise. Exercise helps your dog maintain a healthy weight and muscle tone while improving their mood and providing a healthy outlet for their physical and mental energy, meaning they can be more relaxed at home.
- Dogs get human attention. Your dog will get the care and love they need while you’re at work or school.
- Parents get a break. Doggy day care can give you a day off from responsibilities, while your dog gets what they need to be a healthier, more well-adjusted pet.
How Does Central Bark Handle Feeding for My Dog During the Day?
We are happy to accommodate your dog’s feeding schedule as part of their “Rest Period Enrichments.” Simply bring their food in pre-portioned containers with clear instructions. Our trained staff will ensure your dog receives their meal in a private, quiet space. We are also experienced in handling a variety of specific needs, including day care for dogs with allergies and medication administration, though additional fees may apply.
What are flexible playgroups?
Flexible playgroups allow us to match your dog with the social atmosphere and play schedule they can enjoy and benefit from most. This helps give them a healthy balance of play, rest, and learning and creates a safer social environment with a better quality of play. And our lower dog-to-staff ratios offer more individual attention, education, and love.
What is Stay-n-Play?
Our Stay-n-Play program offers boarding for dogs that have not enrolled in our day care program. Each overnight guest gets a restful night’s sleep, followed by a day of play, exercise, and plenty of TLC from our staff. Stay-n-Play guests sleep and play in their own designated areas.
