Theodore truly enjoyed himself!!! Thank you BoneVoyage Pet Resort for taking care of my baby!!

They took amazing care of our kitties! Very convenient location if you're going on a cruise.

Super friendly staff! The facility was super clean. I loved the daily play time pictures of my fur baby! Convenient to the Galveston cruise port. read more

I am going to make the same comment that another reviewer made. The place is great but the seven day cancellation fee is ridiculous. Most boarding facilities have 48 to 24 hour cancellation, and most do not charge a fee for it. Playful paws pet resort in Kemah is absolutely unbelievable and they do not charge a fee if you have to cancel. read more

It was awesome . My dog love it. We were so happy and the staff were very friendly. We will be back for sure.

Absolutely the best kennel I ever used. Originally I was planning to use petsmart near Texas City during the trip to Galveston. When I asked the petsmart if I can take my dog to a beach one day and bring him back, they told me that I need to check him out/pay and rechecked him in. That's understandable but that's when I found BoneVoyage. When I called them and asked the same question, their answer was "absolutely! Just let us know when you want to take him to the beach and bring back here before we close!" I booked with them on the same day. They're nice and friendly over the phone and in person! My dog enjoyed the stay and day at the beach as well :) read more

We have been taking our Cooper here since they opened and he loves it. When we tell him its time to go to Daycare he gets so excited. We have kept him here on extended vacations as well and he has done perfectly. When we tell him he is going to Daycare he runs to get his leash and is so excited to go play with all of his friends. We feel very secure that the staff love our Cooper as well and take very good care of him. I love that they post pics on Facebook while we are out of town, it is very assuring to see him while we are gone having fun. read more

We took a seven day cruise and scheduled our 9 1/2 month Mini Australian Shephard to stay at Bone Voyage in Galveston. I was so nervous to leave her but it was great! The scheduling process was fast and professional, drop off and pick up was easy and quick, and best of all they posted pictures daily during the week so we could see how she was doing!!! when we picked her up she was clean and happy to see us but you could tell she liked the staff! read more

If I could give them no stars, I would. The staff doesn't care about the individual dogs nor do they listen to the owners wishes and directions. When I first reached out to this kennel, I was very clear that I had 2 rescue dogs that were afraid of people. We had boarded them several times previously with a kennel in another state so leaving the dogs (only when absolutely necessary) has gone very well with no issues. I called ahead to make sure Bone Voyage understood that my dog's initial reaction is to be very afraid of strangers. This goes away quickly once the person comes down to their level for a minute to say hi. They assured me their staff was great about working with dogs and my dogs would be well cared for. When I filled out the application, I was clear they were afraid. I also talked to them when I dropped the dogs off. I made sure they knew also that we were working with a trainer from the dog training services that shares space with the kennel and appears to be affiliated. I did not hear one word from the kennel in the 3 days our dogs were there. When I picked them up, there were big letters on the kennel - Aggressive to people. I almost cried. I knew then that they did not listen to anything I had said or just didn't take me seriously. They went on to say my dogs were not boardable. They had to chase them around to get the dogs out of their small private kennel yard back into the inside space which means the were frustrated and my dogs were terrified. They had to call someone in so 2 of them were chasing my poor dogs. If they had just did what I told them and stooped down, the dogs would have come to them. Or if they had reached out to the trainer that was working with them, she knew how to work with the dogs. But instead, they chose to terrorize these 2 dogs who had been mistreated before a rescue took them in. I really question how much my dogs were let out of their kennel or if they were even fed as they were supposed to (we got a LOT of food back). And it cost me almost $100 / day for this! It has been a long road in socializing these dogs with people (they are good with other dogs). I have no doubt that Bone Voyage has workers who can do the job, but they do not have staff that listen to the owners or care about the dog unless the dog is perfect and does exactly what they want them to do. As far as I am concerned, Bone Voyage took our dogs backwards. This boarding experience should have been a positive experience as it has been as other boarding facilities but instead, I felt these dogs were scared the whole time they were there. Biggest disappointment is they didn't reach out to me or the trainer. A phone call would have gone a long way and I would have got back early to get them. They also told me the dogs were too wild to work with the trainer, but I paid that trainer to be there. The trainer told me that she did work with them. I have no idea who is telling the truth, but I will never go to either of them again. Consider using Dogs at Dolphin View. They have staff that not only listen, but truly care about each dog that comes into their facility. They listen to the wishes of the owner and call if there are any issues or questions! Plus I got pictures of the dogs playing in the yard each day. I could clearly see they were happy dogs! read more

They've always taken good care of our dog. So that is not the issue. We had to cancel a reservation three days in advance due to an illness. They charged us a $40 cancellation fee!! I could understand a 24 or even a 48 hour cancellation deadline. I think that a 7-day deadline is a bit long and $40 is a bit steep. I'm sure it was in the initial agreement we signed. But it's still something we will consider next time we make a reservation. read more

Cannot recommend Bone Voyage more highly! Our dogs generally hate being boarded, even at the nicer daycare type places like Bone Voyage. That's not the facility's fault of course, that's just our dogs. We have two sweet 4-yr old dogs, one boxer mix (looks like a pit) and another American bulldog mix. Thankfully, Bon Voyage loves ALL dogs. :) We were headed on a cruise and I found Bon Voyage on Yelp. The location is perfect if you're taking a cruise. We arrived a day early and they were kind enough to take the dogs a day early on an hour's notice (!). The facility was bright and clean and the staff was super friendly. They temperament test every dog and assign play groups based on the dogs temperament. Not surprisingly, our dogs didn't do well on the temp test so they were relegated to one on one play. Our dogs can get really stressed in these situations and while having group play is a great option for some dogs, it's also great that the more fearful pups can get some fun time in too one on one. We aren't sure what happened while they were there but I did notice this: 1) When we picked them up, they were markedly less stressed than they normally are when we pick them up. Calm, almost! 2) Staff seemed genuinely concerned about our dogs. When they brought the dogs out, our dogs looked happy and comfortable with them. 3) Our dogs received the BEST baths they've ever had. I've honestly never seen either of them so clean! Ever. 4) Our dogs received the BEST nail trims of their lives. Never had the nail grind before but it's amazing. They look more comfortable with their nails so well trimmed. 5) Usually when the dogs come back from being boarded, they take a few days to adjust and are anxious. Did not happen this time. I don't know what went on while they were there, I just know they received some of the best dog-centered care available. I wish Bone Voyage were where we live so we could board here every time. Many thanks to the excellent crew here! read more

Best Dog Boarding Ever!!! I dropped my dog, Maui Lu, off at BoneVoyage for the first time ever this December. I was pleased to find that the facilities were extremely clean and did not smell like a kennel at all. I toured the back and saw that very few dogs were barking and most were just chilling in their beds. This told me that these animals were exercised regularly and very happy to be there. When I picked up my dog, it was clear that she had become very accustomed to playing with the staff and was in great spirits. I highly recommend this kennel to anyone. read more

I recently relocated to Galveston from Phoenix. I have never boarded my dog overnight as he get anxious and has separation anxiety when away from me. But my move here is requiring me to travel. When I arrived in Galveston, I did my research and toured a few dog boarding options. After touring Bone Voyage, I knew it was the place. The facility is super clean and well organized. The staff takes pride in their jobs and it shows in their handling of the dogs. Very professional. I took my dog in for a 1/2 day of day care and then the week later for an overnight while traveling. He came home super happy and well cared for. I will be using Bone Voyage in the future and feel comfortable recommending it! LIsa read more

My fiancé and I had to work a double (9am-11pm) and didn't want to leave our new pup Kona, at home alone all day long. With some quick research we found BoneVoyage, and really glad we did! Kona loved her night stay. I was sad to leave her, but the staff there were super amazing and kept me updated with how she was doing when I called on my break. They even took pictures of Kona on her playtime! Absolutely awesome staff, very clean place, overall super happy!! We will definitely be back. Thank you!! read more

I love this place, mostly because they allow my pets RAW food diet to be fed here! We did have a bad 1st experience when using their boarding facility (Their dog beds came back soaked with urine that they tried to pass off as water, and my dog's breath smelled like she had been fed kibble :( ), but after this rocky 1st time boarding with them they have made all our other boarding stays pleasant! Every time our dogs go they come back completely EXHAUSTED!! My significant other actually thinks they drug the dogs because of this- I have assured him this is not possible and they just played all day. They always let me go back with the staff to put my dogs up before we leave and when picking them up! The staff is always friendly and they tell me about how much fun they had and whom they played with while we were gone--AND they post pictures to FB which i just LOVE to see while on vacation. Great location!! read more

We took our little Lilly here for the first time for a full groom .... Very reasonably price and did a wonderful grooming on her...... highly recommend. read more

Nothing but good things to say. We boarded our 2 mini poodle mixes when we left for a cruise. We're from Fort Worth so we booked based on Yelp reviews and the good initial feeling from the kind receptionist who answered the phone. They made it very easy on their website to get registered and we faxed shot records and good to go. Clean, airy, my dogs even had a small window room....i teared up leaving them behind and knowing we'd be unreachable....but the staff seemed caring and we checked them in for 5 nights. We checked in the first a.m. and dogs had already eaten and been out to play, so I got on the cruise ship without fear. Pickup was a breeze, the dogs were energetic and seemed fine...no complaints, and since my dogs seem healthy, got their special treats I packed...i can't complain and definitely recommend and would use again. read more

I've recently started taking my dog to Bone Voyage for Doggie Day Care a few times a week- he absolutely loves it and is always exhausted when he gets home. Everyone I have spoken with seems very nice and cares about the animals. The facility is nice and new and I like that they have an outdoor area for the dogs to play in versus keeping them inside all day. Very happy I found this place, as is my dog! read more

I have been taking my dog to BoneVoyarge for almost a year now for daycare. I have been a loyal customer that pays $21 a day for daycare and often go 3-5 times a week. On top of this I board him sometimes. I have spent a lot of money at this place and I previously had a bad experience with one of there employees. I do not plan on taking my dog back there. My tip is to shop around for a better place before you take your dog there. read more
