What Reviews Say

426 reviews analyzed

Second Home Pet Resort is highly regarded for its exceptionally clean, purpose-built facility and specialized features like the dog water park and 24/7 webcam access. While customers praise the attentive staff and their ability to handle senior or anxious pets, there are notable frustrations regarding strict breed restrictions for daycare and a-la-carte pricing for basic interactions. The management is highly active in responding to feedback, maintaining a professional tone even when addressing rare but serious allegations regarding medical care or pests.

Worth noting

Breed discrimination/restrictions

β€œtold they do not accept any bully breed dogs due to 'breed restrictions.' This was disappointing to hear, especially since Arizona does not have any breed-specific legislation.”

Medical/Medication errors

β€œWhen I picked up my dog, they gave me her bag of toys and food back and there was a full red bag of someone else's pets medicine.”

Pest concerns (Ticks)

β€œI eventually found a tick while he was in an emergency hospital and he had tick fever... spent nearly $20k at the hospital.”

Strict vaccination/paperwork policies(4 mentions)

β€œRosie being turned away because of one small technicality I would rate this place as very unreliable.”

A-la-carte pricing/Nickel and diming(5 mentions)

β€œThey nickle and dime you here. They will take your pets out for bathroom breaks, but if you want them to play ball with your dog, that is an extra charge.”

Sunday hours/Pickup convenience(2 mentions)

β€œTheir hours for pickup Sunday are 12-2, which, if you are travelling out of town, is not very convenient.”
