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.

Peter, the manager, is awesome to work with. He’s super accommodating and always finds a way to get my dogs scheduled. We’ve got them on a routine now which makes everything really easy.
Alyssa does a phenomenal job with both of my dogs, a Labradoodle and an Australian Shepherd. My Aussie can be pretty anxious,, so I was a little worried at first, but they’ve handled him incredibly well. They’re patient, know what they’re doing, and you can tell they actually care about the dogs.
I’ve never had a bad experience here. The whole team is great and always quick to respond if I have any questions.
Really appreciate Peter, Alyssa, and the entire staff.
