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.
