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.

FAQs about Dog Boarding

Is boarding stressful for dogs?

A new or unfamiliar overnight environment can be stressful for some dogs. Central Bark offers boarding experiences designed to help dogs feel comfortable and cared for while their families are away. Depending on your dog’s enrollment status and local availability, your Central Bark team can help determine whether a Sleepover or Stay-n-Play experience is the appropriate option.

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.

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.

How far in advance should I book dog boarding?

Booking as early as possible is recommended, especially for holidays, school breaks, weekends, and other busy travel periods. Availability varies by Central Bark location and by the type of boarding experience your dog needs. If you know your travel dates, contact your local Central Bark early so the team can confirm availability and any enrollment or pre-stay requirements.
