Bone Voyage Pet Resort

Bone Voyage Pet Resort offers dog boarding in Garner, NC, from its facility at 339 Shipwash Drive, and it also takes cats, runs daycare, and handles grooming. Published overnight rates run $30 to $45 per night. Reservations are made online.

Services and amenities

• Climate-controlled lodging, including private suites
• Daycare plus an indoor play area for rainy days
• More than 10,000 square feet of outdoor play yards with K-9 turf and shade canopies
• A full-size swimming pool with private and group swim sessions, plus bone-shaped splash pools for dogs still learning to enjoy water
• Grooming, medication administration, and special diet handling

What stands out

The swimming pool is the feature most owners will notice first, since few boarding facilities in the area have one. Dogs that aren't ready for the big pool can use the smaller bone-shaped splash pools instead. Cats stay in a separate quiet area in multi-level Raintree condos, away from the noise of the dog runs. Owners of shy or older pets tend to care about that separation.

What a stay includes

Every stay comes with four walks or potty breaks a day. Staff run daily wellness checks and cleaning, and enrichment activities and in-house all-natural treats are part of the routine. Dogs boarding ten days or longer get a complimentary exit bath.
