Help your dog’s dreams come true with our dog boarding services
Going on trips is fun, but leaving home overnight can make you and your dog feel worried. At Central Bark®, we know it’s important for your dog to feel safe and comfortable, even when they’re not at home. That’s why our dog boarding service gives your furry friend a calm and familiar place to stay, so they can relax and sleep well.
Being in a place they know helps your dog feel less nervous about being away from home. We take good care of your dog and keep a close eye on them, so you can feel confident they’re safe and happy while you’re away.

With these amenities, your dog’s boarding experience will be cozy, enjoyable, and full of fun
They tell me he’s a bit shy, which is OK. But he seems to be enjoying himself and having more engagement than I can provide in the winter at home.
The parking lot is enormous so there’s very little risk of getting too close to the other dogs as they are scurrying around on their way into the building.
We are able to adjust accordingly, so William doesn’t get too hyper-social too soon.
Arriving on the early side works for us because the early morning 6:30-6:45 am seems a little bit more calm as we hand him off to the enrichment team.
NO-pack. Just GO:
Unlike sending your kid to kindergarten, you don’t have to pack a lunch or toys, or anything else for that matter.
Everything your dog will need is provided for the day.
BOARDING/overnight: It’s going so well that we are considering boarding him one night while I’m out of town.
This would ordinarily be nerve-racking because he is a rescue and spent too much time in a kennel environment at the rescue shelter. But he seems comfortable here, so I’m strongly considering it.
STAFFING: Denise, the owner is absolutely wonderful. And she seems to have surrounded herself with a really lovely team.
It’s still early for me to point out one particular person so I’ll check back in with you all. Suffice it to say that so far, so good.
Frequently Asked Questions

Dog boarding gives your dog a safe and comfortable place to spend the night when they can’t be home overnight. It can last for just one night or for a week or more at a time.
At Central Bark®, we offer Sleepovers to dogs enrolled in our Enrichment Day Care Program. Sleepovers at Central Bark® provide your dog a calm, relaxing sleepover in a place they can feel comfortable and loved. Because they’re in a familiar place, they can feel less stressed about being away from home (and so will you). A full day of Doggy Day Care is included with your sleepover stay.
Our Stay-n-Play program (available at participating locations) 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.

As part of joining the Central Bark® family, our expert staff conducts a thorough behavior assessment at your local Central Bark store. These assessments help ensure that your dog is placed with a playgroup they’re comfortable with so they can play safely every day they’re with us.
This four-day evaluation, while your dog participates in our Enrichment Day Care, assesses your dog’s:
- Comfort and social skills with people
- Social skills and playstyle with other dogs to help determine the playgroup and play schedule they can benefit from the most
- Comfort in both indoor and outdoor play spaces
- Comfort in rest areas and a crate
- Ability to share resources like water and toys in social settings
- Level of comfort taking treats in social settings
This process gives us a chance to get to know you and your dog while your dog gets acquainted with their new favorite place away from home. Through the entire four days, your dog’s comfort and safety is our top priority.
Once your pup passes all the behavior assessment elements, you are welcome to sign up for any of our daycare services or a sleepover!
To schedule a Behavior Assessment for your dog, please contact your local store.
NOTE: Please bring all required signed forms, vaccination proof, and a collar and leash for your behavior assessment.
