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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a puppy be boarded?

Yes. Puppies may be able to use Central Bark boarding services once they meet the age, health, vaccination, and enrollment requirements for the boarding option offered by their local Central Bark. Sleepover and Stay-n-Play eligibility can differ, so contact your local Central Bark before booking your puppy’s stay.

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.

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.
