Dog Boarding

Where your best friend becomes a part of our family.

We know leaving your pet with strangers is stressful, so we take time to get to know you and your pet. Your companion will feel at home with our caring staff, who follow your instructions and welcome details about routines, likes, and personality. As a family-owned business, Second Home Pet Resort treats your pet like family.

    All vaccinations must be administered by a veterinarian

    Please ensure that your pets vaccinations do not expire prior to their stay. We are unable to accept any animals without proper documentation - this is for the health and safety of all of our guests! It is the owners responsibility to provide up-to-date documents, pets arriving without cannot stay at the kennel.

    • Vaccination certificate from a vet showing current vaccination against Distemper/DHPP, Rabies, & Kennel Cough/Bordetella

    • Their own food. Feel free to bring a small bin of food, pre-portion their meals into baggies, or bring the whole bag. Too much is better than too little.

    • Beds and blankets are welcome. We cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged. Personal items are welcome but please don't bring a favourite, just in case. We will happily lend your pet a bed/blankets if you prefer.

    • Any toys, treats, or chews

    • Any required medications

    No need to bring bowls, we will provide them!

  • No, we do not force socialization. Not all dogs like other dogs in their space, and we respect that. If your dog prefers their owns pace, they will get their own yard with the same amount of outside time as the social dogs.

  • Yes, of course! If your dog is anxious, we will take the necessary time to help them acclimate to the environment and build their confidence.

  • Yes, no problem!

  • Yes, they can stay together, but for best safety practices, we will keep them together outside in their own yard.

  • No, our large kennels are in a separate area of the building that is reserved for large dogs. You can, however, book a medium kennel for your small dog.

  • We will match your dog with friends based on their size, age, and temperament. So if your dog is quiet and we will match them with similar friends.

  • No, unfortunately. We do, however, try and post photos and videos on our social media as much as possible to allow you to see your pet play.

  • We don’t send updates; however, you are welcome to call, email, or message us on social media to check in on them. We also post updates on social media as often as possible!

  • While we don’t have anyone stay in the building at night, our family lives on site so we are able to check in on them as needed.
