Bone Voyage Inc.

Being new to Ottawa and with a beautiful yellow Labrador that has health issues we had many reservations about where to leave her when we want to go away.Our vet recommended we try Bone Voyage and boy are we ever glad we did.Christine (despite suffering damage to her home from the tornado) was quick to respond and answer questions and concerns.She found us the perfect fit for our girl.Christine is a professional and runs her business efficiently and professionally. When you make a booking you pay a deposit that ensures your part of the deal as well as theirs.She will find a good home for your dog and if something happens to that booking she will find another home.We decided to try our pet sitting family for one night before our other long trips and know that we made the right decision.Tom and Caroline obviously love dogs and Summer was welcomed with open arms.We know she is in good hands.When we picked her up she was full of excitement and had lots of kisses for both Tom and Caroline as well as mom and dad. They have a very dog friendly home and we're attentive to her needs. It was Summer's home away from home.For us, Bone Voyage is the perfect solution for our pet sitting needs.Well done Christine and thank you Tom and Caroline!

We've been using Bone Voyage for two years (approximately 8 stays) and the service has been excellent every time! Christine is exceptionally fast (and friendly) at replying to inquiries and the families we've had our dog placed with have been fantastic.Before our first stay we filled out a very comprehensive questionnaire that covered everything from Hudson's routine to his medical history. Afterwards, we were matched with a family that could accommodate a large, high energy, Golden Retriever. We particularly liked that we could meet the host family and visit their home before making any final decisions.Hudson has stayed with two different families (we usually request the same one for him because he loves visiting them) and it was clear that they are both dog-lovers. For the same cost as a kennel, you can have peace of mind that your dog is being placed with a loving family - makes for less stressful travel.

Poppy, our Golden, rates this as a 5 star spa retreat. She gets lots of love, attention and walks from Bone Voyage every time we leave her with them. We do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs a pet sitter and doesn't want the kennel experience for their dog.Poppy loves it so much that sometimes she doesn't want to come home when we go pick her up!

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Bone Voyage. They were able to help arrange transport to and from the airport with ease and I truly felt like my pup was getting the best care possible. Her boarding family was incredible; attentive, caring, and communicative. Thank you very much to everyone involved with Taiga's care!

I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE ENOUGH!I was VERY nervous about leaving my two little dogs with someone I didn't know. My dog groomer recommended I reach out to Bone Voyage. I filled out all the information about what kind of home I wanted them in, their sleeping arrangements, how they are with kids and other dogs. I was VERY specific. Low and behold, I was matched with a family that was beyond perfect. I honestly couldn't believe how accurate the pairing was. Karen - the women who took care our my dogs - is absolutely amazing. She has a wonderful home and you can just tell that her and her husband love having dogs around all the time. They sent me 4-5 updates over the 2.5 days they looked after my Parker and Leo. She sent me pictures of them playing and cuddling them. I never felt nervous or worried about them. Bone Voyage is a great business and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a dog kennel alternative, is nervous about leaving their dogs with other people. It's actually really cost efficient as well, which is a bonus. THANK YOU BONE VOYAGE!

We have been using this fantastic service Bone Voyage" for more than 6 years. We have always been extremely pleased when our dog returns home healthy and happy. Christine

I have 2 Cavalier King Charles spaniels and if I am honest I love them almost as much as my actual children! My littlest one has anxiety and so we are always nervous about leaving him with someone else in case they don't have the patience to deal with this. We have used 4 different families from Bone Voyage based on availability and have found that in every case the puppies were well loved, well cared for and welcomed as though they lived there. We received pictures of the puppies playing with other dogs that were there, sleeping on the couch or in the sunlight and even snuggling in bed with the families that were babysitting. All of these things helped us to feel comfortable and confident that our dogs were being well loved and well cared for. We would and will use this service and recommend it time and time again. I shudder to picture my little pups in a traditional kennel!

My husband and I love to travel and try our hardest but can't always bring our fur baby with us.We have the most ultimate trust in Sylvie (Our pet sitter)! Sylvie is very accommodating and just a lovely person in general. Our fur baby is treated like family while she's there.The website is user friendly and very detailed to make sure you get matched with the best family. Prompt responses and easy to pay the invoices.Honestly couldn't say more about bone voyage!

We boarded our golden with Sandy this past weekend. What a great experience. Denali almost didn't want to leave when the weekend was over. Our dog is terrified of thunder and there was a thunderstorm at 4AM one night. Sandy was up conforming Denali until the storm passed. We would definitely use Bone Voyage again.

We had a great experience with Bone Voyage and the family that took care of our dog. The family had great communication. Our dog loved them. Highly recommend, we will use this service again!
