After weeks of being mom to a new puppy and being made crazy ... Low & behold near my neighborhood is Second Home Pet Resort.. Truly, this place is a dream for the naughty Airedale & me.. They have a waterpark for mans best friend, exercise equipment.. A small bowser shop for the couture pup. The staff is nice, loves dogs, & knowledgable. You will need to have current shots, & an assessment to be sure your dog isn't the one man, one dog type.. Aka anti-social. They will gladly give you a tour.. Besides doggie daycare, there are pet suites with private patios, webcams & even plasma tvs! Seriously, this place is a resort.. A five star for the furry:-) read more

could not believe what I heard today when calling Second home PET resort, I inquired about day care , my dog has been there before as a pup but now 1 1/2 year old. She had the audacity to state we dont let Rottweiler or Pit-bulls in our day care with other dogs, but you are more than welcome to bring him here and LOCK HIM UP FOR THE DAY! are you F'IN Kidding me. HOW DARE THEY DISCRIMINATE against my dog breed and any others! she said people were complaining! are you for real they should shut this place down! IT IS NOT THE DOG it is how you bring up your dog! that is a slap in the face, my dog is the sweetest you ever met. THIS IS UNETHICAL they need to be turned in to someone! they do an assessment for a damn reason! ANY DOG can be VICIOUS depending on the way they are brought up! There are many dogs in there that are meaner than mine, and take some peoples word on this and never allow rottys in to play. That is stereotyping and they should be ashamed of themselves! I will spread this word as much as possible! What a disgrace. read more

My boyfriend and I had a 5 day trip to go on with our family and had no one to watch our pups. We searched pet resorts and were just about to go to another place closer to home. We just happened to drive by this place on a random trip up north and we saw this place and just googled and checked it out. We then went down for a tour and didn't call first but just took a chance. The staff dropped everything and took so much time with us to show us the ins and outs. We signed Ruby and Bruno up that day. They gave us a coupon for a free night. We brought them in and they swiftly took the pups from us and even had a quick kiss. I think that's better because I was emotional. Silly I know. They sent me pictures of my babies and even introduced them to new activities. They went swimming and had lots of snuggle time. I was shocked Bruno jumped in the water. Our flight got delayed and we had to call frantically to see if one more night was ok. They were able to stay in their "petite suite" for one more night no problem. I packed plenty of food but the dogs didn't eat as much as they usually do so they asked me if it was ok to entice them with fresh chicken and rice and warm water on their food. So awesome. They were so caring and I know the babies had a nice stay. Ps. Doggy daycare is available too and that looks so fun!!! They have 7 different yards to run in!!! read more

I have a Rottweiler mix that is a rescue, she was abused and as a result is terrified of new people. Second Home didn't let that scare them away, they took the time to get to know and love Libby. They care for her like she's one of their own, I know that if I leave Libby in their hands she will receive the same level of love and care as she does from me at home. The owners, Roger and Cheryl, are truly wonderful people whose love and compassion for ALL animals is apparent; they personally took time with Libby to get her acclimated to the new environment. The resort manager, Jordan, was incredibly kind and accommodating, she made me so comfortable leaving Libby. She even personally gave me updates throughout Libby's stay because she knew how nervous I was leaving my little girl, she truly went above and beyond. Even though I was calling daily for updates the entire staff was helpful and understanding. As for the facility, it is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and it is meticulously cared for! The water park is awesome and the fact that they have an option for an indoor/outdoor suite is wonderful because my dog can't get enough of the patio! This is the only place I would leave my baby; I would recommend it to anyone looking for someone to take care of their 4 legged family members. read more

My golden, Tobey, absolutely loves coming here. I try to take him at least once a week for day care loving and playtime. He gets excited at home when I tell him we are coming and when I turn into the parking lot, he starts going nuts. The staff is amazing too. Met some fellow cheeseheads. Tobey is a huge Packers fan. Lol. Moved out of the neighborhood but I drive out of my way to continue taking him here. read more

My dog Rocco goes crazy if we even drive by Second Home. He absolutely loves going there. I sometimes feel bad, because he looks sad when I get there to pick him up. The staff is great, and they all seem to know him by name when he arrives. I have used Second Home for boarding and for daycare. I recommend both. My dog is extremely hyperactive, and after a day of playing at daycare he comes home and curls up and sleeps for hours. To me that is worth the price of daycare. The first time I used boarding there, I had a geriatric dog. They were so great with her too. I have used the big box pet boarding and daycare before, and I was shocked to learn that the brand named store kept the dogs inside the entire day. I know with Second Home that they get to go outside to play, and they even get to play in the dog water park. They are supervised at all times. My only suggestion to Second Home would be to expand their hours. On weekdays they close at 6PM. This can be a hardship for me since I drive from work in Chandler. Their weekend hours are limited, so if I plan on doing a weekend trip I have to make sure I am back on Sunday between 11AM and 2PM to pick up my dog. read more

LOVED IT We boarded our Pitbull mix and Chihuahua here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We even called and asked if they could send us some pictures of our dogs and they texted it to us! We boarded our dogs here for almost a week, quite a scary experience since it was our first time being away from them, but we had piece of mind after touring the facilities and meeting some of their staff. The kennels and outside were very clean and well taken care of. The prices are really reasonable for what you get, but ultimately you really cannot put a price on piece of mind that your 'furry members of the family' are being well taken care of, while you're away. I will defiantly go here next time we need to board our dogs. PITBULLS We had to call 4 different boarding places before we finally found one that would take pitbulls. Even PetSmart wouldn't allow us to keep our Pitbull and Chihuahua in the same cage. Here they allowed them to stay together at all times, play outside together and when I walked in I didn't sense the "dangerous Pitbull stay away" stigma I feel at most other places. They were warm and inviting. read more

These folks are true animal lovers! They took tremendous care of our diabetic dog while we faced a human medical crisis. They worked with our vet to make sure they did everything right. I am super impressed and we won't have to wonder where to take him in the future! read more

They really cared for our senior labrador retriever, that has arthritis - listened to our concerns and implemented what was needed to make sure she was comfortable. She felt right at home, loved the water park, and making new friends! read more

After moving to Gilbert, AZ, in 2008, we searched in our area as well as the Phoenix / Scottsdale areas for a great, high quality pet hotel for our two Labradors. Our Labradors are part of our family and we want only the very best for them. We are so thankfully that we found Second Home Pet Resort and love everything that it offers. Our Labradors have stayed at Second Home Pet Resort for 6 vacations. One trip was for over 10 nights, and the rest averaged about 5 nights. Our dogs share the Pavilion Suite with the indoor / outdoor space and in addition to this, we sign them up for either the water park or half-a-day of outdoor play. Both our dogs have always come home happy and healthy! Because our Labradors are part of our family, I have been very picky about the quality of the hotel, the professionalism of the staff and how our pets feel / behave when they return home from vacation. Having said that, I would highly recommend Second Home Pet Resort to any pet owner who is in the market for quality hotel with a loving environment. read more

Very disappointed in this facility. Called to board our cat for a week and made reservation. The gentleman said that they required all vaccinations prior to visit. Took kitty to vet for all vaccines at over $250 expense. Sent paperwork to this Second Home. They called to say that kitty needed complete vaccinations prior to boarding; since he only had his initial ones (and other one was not scheduled until after our return), they would not allow him to stay! With no other options, we had to cancel our entire travel plans! Lost airline fees! Their mistake was in not telling us that our cat needed full vaccinations prior to boarding. We know it is for the safety of all pets there but, if they would have told us, we could have made other arrangements. We will not board our cat at this place ever! Beware of rules! read more

I have used Second Home 3 times now for my dogs. Other thing that impresses me the most is how deeply this place cares for animals. I have been very pleased with the services -- my Chesapeake Bay Retriever absolutely loves the water play! The owners have Hyatt Hotel experience and it shows. This is truly a resort for pets and the cost is only a little more than the well known retail pet hotel, with far more amenities and better service. I'm very comfortable recommending Second Home. read more

We needed to board our animals on short notice for the first time. I wasn't sure what to expect but they were so welcoming and took great care of our 2 cats and one dog. They were very conscientious of our pet's behavior and took great care of them! read more

Every "pet resort" claims to really care about your pets but, as far as I can tell, this is the only one in the Phoenix metro area to offer the accommodation/service options that ensure your pet is truly cared for and comfortable. Specifically, this is the only kennel I'm aware of that offers indoor/outdoor suites (although the family-sized suites almost always booked - please, please figure out a way to offer more large indoor/outdoor suites!) and also the only one that, if you're unable to book an indoor/outdoor suite, offers the option of a nighttime potty break. I really appreciate that because it helps to keep my dogs on roughly the same routine as they have at home, which I think makes boarding a little less disruptive for them. In addition to the thoughtful accommodations and service offerings, Second Home also seems to be above-average in terms of cleanliness and staff attentiveness. My dogs have only stayed a few times, but so far I'm very pleased. read more

Love Second Home Pet Resort! Trust me, everyone here really cares about your fur babies!!

PHENOMENAL PLACE Couldn't find a nicer place! You won't be disappointed with the care and compassion they give to your beloved pets

LOOK NO FURTHER... If you are wondering where you should leave your dog if you have to leave town and don't have a clue, this is the place, hands down! Listen, I work in the rescue community. I know what goes on more than most when it comes to animal day cares, boarding, vets and so on. It's a small community with big hearts! My son has been taking his two french bull dogs to Second Home Pet Resort now for I think it's almost been two years. I myself have dropped them and picked both Harvey and Junior up when they couldn't do it and every time, they have come back well balanced and happy to see us. I also know MANY PEOPLE in the rescue community who use Second Home Pet Resort when they have to find a boarding facility. When your peers are using a facility to board their animals that says something. No one leaves their animals here because the woman who runs Second Home happens to be one of the best in the business. They also leave them at Second Home because we all know they are going to get the best of care and be well taken care of. That is why. With all the negative things you hear about when it boarding your animals, neglect is the last thing you have to worry about with this place. When you leave town, you want to be stress free when it comes to your animals and not have to worry. Next time I have to leave my babies, all 6 of my beloved dogs will be boarded here for sure; including my 4 ungrateful cats as well LOL! read more

I won't take my dog anywhere else when I go out of town; Second Home has been amazing. My dog Luna is a rescue and has some behavioral issues due to her significant fear of strange people & dogs. The staff here is amazing with her though, and I even notice that she's not as sensitive to her usual triggers after I pick her up. Luna has stayed at the resort a few times now, enough that the staff recognizes us and greet us by name. It gives me such peace of mind to know that she is so well taken care of when she can't be with me. read more

Hands down the best!!. I have a black lab pup she's only a year and a half old, and I desperately needed to find a dog boarding facility for a last minute trip. I was referred to second home pet by my soon to be mother in law, as she has taken her dog here before. I live in litchfield park so this location is quite a drive for me, but with that said I will never board my dog any where else!. I called second home pet just 2 days prior to super bowl Sunday to see if they had any availability. Luckily they did! I drove out and was greeted immediately by a very welcoming staff!. I told them we spoke on the phone about my lab possibly being boarded. They gave me a full tour of the grounds and ALL the rooms they offer and how much each of them are. They also showed me the kitchen, and the day care facility. Each of them very clean and very nice!. While this place is pricey I want my girl to be treated by the best. I paid for extra play time and swimming time (because she's a lab need I say more) which for 3 days was 15$ extra per day. And extra cuddle time was 9$ per day. On top of the room charge which was around 60$ (you can get rooms for as low as 45$ which are just as nice!) I chose a room that faces the swimming area that offered a patio attached to her room. For reference she's about 60 lbs a good medium sized lab. I wanted her to be safe, comfortable and well looked after. Cody one of the staff members took extra measures to send me videos and photos via txt to ease my worry. As it was the first time she was being boarded. I will definitely recommend second home pet resort to any one looking to board their pet here. The staff is wonderful, the resort is clean and safe, I feel confident leaving my girl in their care. (Side note for cat owners out there, I have 2 cats as well. They offer a few very spacious cozy clean rooms for your cat to be well looked after.) All I can say is looking online doesn't do this place justice when you step foot inside SHPR you will be instantly put at ease that every one here will do their best for you and your pet. read more

Boarded my 2 dog for a weekend. When I drooped them off I felt a little rushed by the staff when I was asking them questions. They were by no mean rude, just didn't seem like they care too much. When my boyfriend picked them up he told me that our pom-yorkie shed a lot (probably due to stress). They were frantic to leave! The next few days, our poodle experienced a bad case of diarrhea which was so bad that he poo in his crate! On top of that he got a bad ear infection! If the pet resort allow dogs to play in the water then they should've dry the dogs' ears. Wet ears (esp on floppy eared dogs) leads to ear infection. It was very irresponsible. Needless to say, we won't be coming back. read more

Wow after reading a lot of these reviews I definitely will not be returning with my 2 fur babies. I find it very disrespectful and unprofessional the way staff replied and downplayed Stephen's review below.. seriously?? If that had been my dog I would have been furious. There are no excuses for that. Not only that but there are many other incidents that have happened here that are far from ok. I took my 2 kids here last year while out of town on vacation.. when I dropped them off a staff member was yanking on the rope they put around my dogs neck to take them back. I did not like that one bit. It made me feel uneasy leaving them there as staff didn't show too much compassion or patients. I had left instruction on feeding them and I had also left a bag of nubs dental chews with exactly enough for both dogs to have one in the am and one in the pm for everyday during their stay. When I picked my 2 dogs up a week later they handed me back the bag of nubs chew bones with about 3 less than I had given them. Clearly they didn't follow my instructions that I had wrote on the bag AND verbally told them. That wasn't a big deal but just made me think if they cant follow instructions on something that simple then they don't need to be taking care of my 2 fur kids. My dogs are my children and I expect the utmost exceptional care and that clearly is not at Second Home Pet Resort. read more

I recently boarded my cat here for the first time. Not only were the staff great and professional at check-in, but they kept track of how she was eating and called because she wasn't eating enough for the first couple days. They were accommodating to my requests that they try some other foods, then wean her back onto her usual food (medical diet). They were clearly on top of things and concerned for my cat's well-being. I'm very happy with the service I received. read more

My deaf dog has had a past history of fear aggression, so I was looking for a facility that was equipped with caring staff who could help her and were properly trained, if she reacted in negative way. In fact, I drove all the way from Las Vegas because it was her first time staying in a new boarding facility I needn't have worried. She had a blast, and so did my other pup! The staff and management here were both friendly and loving, and they sent me pictures and updates of how my pets were doing. The facilities are wonderful, too, and I only wish that Second Home was closer to Vegas! :) Maybe if we ever vacation in Phoenix, I'll bring them back for another pet-vacation! read more

Daisy comes here for baths and grooming on a regular basis! She always looks fantastic after. They really do a great job and always do everything extra I ask for- ear cleaning, teeth brushing or bows in her hair! I would definitely recommend for grooming ! Staff is also very friendly and I love that they can bring their dogs to work. read more

I am glad I found Second Home Pet Resort, My dogs love coming here for daycare and boarding. The staff is extremely professional and ready to help you! I researched many places before deciding to bring my dogs here. After using their boarding and daycare service over the last 3 months they have earned my trust and respect. It's professionally run as you can tell the owners understand the importance of delivering quality service. They also want your feed-back on any customer service concerns with your dogs. How refreshing to know a business values your input and want to make sure you are happy. See for yourself what great professional service they provide!!!! Thank you all for outstanding pet care! read more

I'm a new client with this pet resort and so far I love them. I needed my dog's nails trimmed right away if possible and they were able to get me and and they were very nice and I loved Danielle the lady who trimmed my dog's nails, I'm sure I'll be using more of their services very soon. read more

Our German Shepherd, Arie, loves Second Home Pet Resort! We have been taking our dogs for daycare since it opened! She enjoys being there and can't wait to see her doggy friends! We have tried other places and she has actually put the leash in her mouth and pulled us toward the door to leave! They have a wonderful, professional and friendly staff! We highly recommend Second Home Pet Resort! read more

Our 6 dogs LOVE going to second home pet resort. Our furkids are treated like family! All of the employees are exceptionally kind and caring and is obvious that they love your pets. This facility is amazing and we would never take our furkids anywhere else. I HIGHLY recommend Second Home Pet Resort. read more

I left a terrier mix at second home while traveling over the Memorial day holiday. I went in person to check out the resort prior to leaving my pet and the facility was beautiful. I thought this was the ideal place to leave my pet. At first glance upon my return I thought this was a great boarding my pet appeared happy until we got to the parking lot. My dogs behind was loaded with poop. It appeared he had a hard time eliminating and the poop did not drop to the ground. Instead the dog was left in what appeared to be days with this poop on his behind. I was mortified. I returned with my dog and it took one of the kennel workers about 30-45 minutes to get the poop cleaned off. The entire time the worker said the dog should have received a bath (at my expense of course) and this problem would have been found. Next I asked that my dog NOT be allowed to play with other dogs. Well it appears that my request was ignored because my dog came home sick, sneezing, coughing and lethargic. Last but not least, something happend to my dogs paw while in their care. He had some sort of trauma. When we got home, the nail on his back paw was bleeding. Yes...bleeding. The Vet stated the nail was so tramatized that it had to be removed. My poor pup was sick with a cold, behind full of poop and trauma to his nail. After my one and only visit to this resort, I ended up with a vet bill for several hundred dollars, and a sick pet on four different medications who now must walk in a hicking boot until his nail heals in 2 months. BOTTOM line....if you love your pet...do not take your pet to this place. They are obviously NOT paying attention to our precious little animals. I will never set foot in this place again. read more

We absolutely love this place! Our 2 dogs go to daycare here every week. The facility is immaculate!! When you enter you feel like you are in a fancy resort hotel. The staff is outstanding. They are all very friendly, helpful and very nurturing to our furry children. They always go the extra mile to make sure all of our pets' needs are met. From playful interaction to cuddle time, the staff makes sure our pets do feel like this is their second home. If we could rate Second Home Pet Resort MORE than 5 stars we would. It is really the BEST! read more

Friendly and informative staff; pass on the dog food. I took a tour of the place a few days before placing my dog Jax here. I was told that I would get a call notifying me if he was able to do day care as I signed him up for 3 1/2 days of day care. No calls received while I was on vacation. I assumed he did ok. When I picked him up the paper work was in order and he looked like he was bathed, however he peed and it was not a tinkle, it was a stream, so not sure how long since they had last taken him out. Thinking this was a slam dunk trip, I had taken him out a couple times before going to bed. His bowel movements were discolored. Then in the morning a nasty smelling surprise awoke my eyes. There was poo all over the kennel. It looked like he literally emptied his entire intestines. Not a pleasant surprise. It took over an hour of bathing him and disinfecting the kennel to get it back to normal as well as half a tree of paper towels. Within two days, I had him back to normal like a German freight train. So I question if they had taken him out at similar routine times each day or what. He's not had this accident in months so it leads me to believe it was either the food or lack of routine of taking him out at regular disciplined times, ie 8am morning 1pm afternoon 8pm nightly. I would give them another shot, but I definitely would be taking his food from home. read more

Second Home is the best!! We travel a lot and they are the only people I trust with our furry babies!! Our dogs love it so much that they don't even notice when I leave anymore. We recently started getting them groomed here as well and they did a fantastic job. Our rescue dog who hates groomers actually let the groomer give him a full haircut--YAY!! They are always very accomodating and helpful with scheduling, etc. Thanks Second Home--- we love you guys and we will miss you dearly when we move from Arizona! =) read more

We love Second Home Pet Resort. We have had our labradoodle stay there for 2 week visits to just overnights. He pulls us to the door. We loved the indoor/outdoor rooms, the water park, and the incredible staff. I am a designer and am very picky about the look/feel of interiors and to say I am very impressed means a lot. Well done! Would highly recommend this pet hotel to any pet owner. read more

I have been using this place ever since I found it 2 years ago! My dogs are my children and I can say that this place is truly a home away from home. Not a "boarding"place at all! You can reserve an indoor/outdoor room and they have great prices, especially for multiple pets (I have 3)! I live out in Chandler and make it a point to drive 45 minutes just for them to be at this place. We were also late picking them up, and they were kind enough to stay open 2 hours late so that I could get my babies that day! LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

My husband and I just moved here this year. We have some trips planned in the future, so I started researching doggy daycares. After researching their website, I was quite impressed. I then read the comments on Yelp, good and bad. I was really taken back by the fact that they do not allow Pit mixes. My husband and I adopted/rescued our babies this year. They are both, just over 1 year and they would not hurt a fly! They have also never had an issue playing with large groups of dogs, they actually love it. I went ahead and called them to possibly set up an appointment and to discuss what I had read. She said, "Oh no, we do allow boarding, but they are not allowed to play outside with the other dogs. It's a liability with the other dogs and makes the other dog owners nervous." I was absolutely heartbroken. My dogs were discriminated because of what they look like. She offered that I could speak with the manager, but I declined. There was nothing else to discuss. read more

We have two rescued mix breed doggies. They now weigh near 65 pounds each, a freckled female and a chocolate lover boy. We love bringing our doggies to Second Home Pet Resort. Both our doggies know that they are about to board at SHPR before we leave home as they watch me gather their items. Our doggies are happy when I drop them off and happy when I pick them off. It is such a pleasure knowing that my doggies are receiving love even when they are not home. I do recommend Second Home Pet Resorts for your boarding needs. I have been so happy with them. read more

I have to say that organization is not a strong quality here. My dog has been here twice. The first time they gave us the wrong dog bed back. Apparently they wash the beds but gave us the wrong stuffing back. No big deal. I'll give them another shot. So I pick up my dog and the total is all wrong. The computer said that my dog had 4 cuddle times, the paperwork said he had three cuddle times and I asked for only one. Ha. Ok, so I also said that I did not want an exit bath. Well they threw that on the bill also. Not a huge deal but not one apology from the manager.. Real nice lady by the way ( sarcasm). They bring my dog to me and they give me a blanket that wasn't mine. I said this isnt my blanket and they say oh it isn't. Holy ... It's a nice place but they need some help getting the staff organized. read more

I have 3 poms, which have extremely high standards in regards to their tastes, sensitive tummies, and attention (yes, their high-maintenance times 3). Additionally, I was very apprehensive about leaving them for the first time because they require so much. I liked that SHPR offered wall-enclosed suites versus just metal-fenced off quarters so that one of my poms, who is very skittish, would not feel overwhelmed. I do admit the staff dragged their feet a little when I requested to tour the whole facility, and say good-bye to my pups (who were whisked away outside when I came in) on account that they would be sad. Their leaving my care, of course their going to be sad; however, saying good-bye isn't going to devastate them all of a sudden and most parents like to have a final good-bye before they leave. Needless, to say they honored these two requests, but it did require pushing on my part (Their my kids, I'm going to get my way). A simple service that should be offered with every drop-off: Would you like to see where they will be staying? Would you like to say good-bye? Other than the 2 requests at drop-off which the staff was slow to respond to, the staff was very friendly and understanding of my poms' special needs. Seeing that my puppies have very sensitive tummies, I carefully packaged all their meals and treats so as not to have any food issues and reviewed their food restrictions not only at the time of booking but at drop-off. Any parent with dogs who are food sensitive, the burden falls to you to hammer it into the staff that your dogs has food restrictions and to provide food for the staff so it is not an issue. I left my puppies over New Years, so they were required to have an exit bath so they came back clean and little fluff balls. They were super happy and stomach-issue free, I even got pictures of them playing outside. Overall, the one small issue at drop-off with customer service was minor and easily fixed with a little training (I work in customer service, I'm going to harp on it a little...) and my high-maintenance pups were happy and healthy, which are all good things to me. Their pricing was not an issue, dogs are expensive (particularly poms), especially sick poms - so the fact that my super sensitive poms came back healthy is a HUGE plus! SHPR is nowhere near, where I live (in fact out of the way), but if they keep my poms happy, that is all that matters. I will use them again, and try to get a room with an internet cam (I really like the idea of the internet cam and having a visual check-up on them). read more

POOR policies. I booked a boarding reservation for my dog 2 months ago for Memorial Weekend. At the time, they took a $90.- deposit. I had to cancel over 1 week due to health reasons before the reservation took place. They held the $90.00 and told me that it was credit for future business dealings with them. Today I called and was told that they were filled up for the holiday weekend. I knew that they would fill my reservation but do NOT like their policies. BEWARE- don't play their game. Use any other place for dog boarding. read more

I love this place. It's clean, the staff is friendly and helpful and my pup is happy when I pick her up. I didn't give a 5 because they can be hard to get in with. The key is to ask for anyone available and they want to schedule you with whoever you had the previous appointment. I quite frankly don't care who does the grooming as long as it's done well and my dog is treated with kindness. read more
