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 has always been caring, and thoughtful. Paul loved his time there, and barked enthusiastically with joy each time we arrived. We had complete peace of mind when he was there, as they took care of his as well as if he was their own.
Thanks to all the staff for taking such good care of our Pauly. You all were a very important part of his life!
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Before your dog’s boarding stay, make sure your online account and required health information are up to date, including an emergency contact who can be reached if you are unavailable. Follow your local Central Bark’s instructions for food, medications, leash and collar, and any approved comfort items from home.
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.
Dog boarding gives your dog a safe, comfortable place to stay overnight when they cannot be at home. Central Bark boarding options may include Sleepovers for dogs enrolled in Enrichment Day Care and Stay-n-Play for dogs that are not enrolled in the day care program. Availability and eligibility vary by location, so your local Central Bark can help you choose the appropriate option.
