That’s why we include a full day of Enrichment Dog Day Care in our Central Bark Sleepover package for Dog Boarding guests. Your dog will have access to our state-of-the-art play areas, where they can run, jump, and play with other dogs under the watchful eye of our experienced staff. To keep your dog interested and entertained throughout the day, we provide a range of toys, games, and activities.

Each den is equipped with a comfortable bed and plenty of space for your dog to move around. Also, our dens are located in a quiet area of the facility. That way, your dog can get some rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of our Enrichment Dog Day Care area.

A Typical Boarding Stay at Central Bark
Every overnight dog boarding stay starts with check-in, where our team confirms your dog’s paperwork, food, and any medications. From there, your dog settles into their den or cottage, enjoys playtime and enrichment throughout the day, and winds down for a comfortable night’s rest. In the morning, it’s back to play and socializing until you’re ready for pick-up. It’s the same caring routine whether your dog is in for one night or several — a real home away from home, not just a place to sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dog Boarding
How much does it cost to board a dog?
Dog boarding prices vary by location, service, and length of stay. Contact your local Central Bark or explore its booking options to see available boarding services and current pricing.
Does someone stay overnight at dog boarding?
No. Central Bark locations do not have staff staying overnight with boarding dogs. After their daytime activities, dogs settle into their designated overnight spaces. Central Bark locations use monitored security systems, and your local team can explain the overnight setup and safety procedures for your dog’s stay.
What is Stay-n-Play?
Stay-n-Play is a Central Bark boarding option for dogs that are not enrolled in Enrichment Day Care. Stay-n-Play guests receive an overnight stay along with daytime enrichment, exercise, fun, and care from our team in designated areas. Availability may vary by location.
How can I help my dog prepare for their first boarding stay?
A little preparation can make a first boarding stay easier. Make sure required records and enrollment steps are complete, share important information about your dog’s routine, feeding, medications, behavior, and comfort needs, and follow your local Central Bark’s packing guidance. If your dog is new to the location, ask whether a day care visit, assessment, or other introductory experience is recommended before an overnight stay.
