We have boarded our dog at My Second Home on two occasions now. The first time, she came home wet, dirty, and with a cough that lasted almost two weeks. The staff also seems very unorganized, not having a clue as to what's going on or which dogs belong to whom. However, this past weekend we decided to give them another chance, leaving our dog for a four-day stay. When I got her back she was, again, wet and very dirty. This is not a real big issue, as I know it has been hot lately and the dogs are encouraged to play in ... read more

Hello Rick, Thank you for taking the time to speak with Matt yesterday. The health and safety of the pets that stay with us is our number one priority so were very concerned after reading your review. I'm happy to hear that Riley is starting to feel better and I hope our conversation gave you some peace of mind. She had such a wonderful time while she stayed with us and enjoyed her outside time with friends and the team enjoyed playing with her as well. Please let us know if you decide to take her to the vet, and we will be ... read more
Have boarded my cat there multiple times. Typical cat room style boarding but condos seem a little small and prices are a little high. Today I picked up my cat and was charged for an extra day, because I arrived at 2:20 p.m. and was informed they have to be out by 1:00 p.m. Manager would not waive the extra day. They told me it is like a "hotel policy". Luckily all the hotels I stay at are more flexible and allow an extra hour or two if needed!!! Two stars for inflexible and poor customer service. Plus it smelled terrible... read more

Our GM has tried to reach out to you. We would like to discuss your recent experience with us. Please feel free to contact her at your convenience. Thank you
Terribly disappointed We boarded our dog for 6 days when we went on vacation. When we picked her up, she was still wet from being groomed and hair was flying everywhere (I'm guessing they never attempted to brush her) We got her home and she had lost 7 lbs. we had called and checked on her, while we were gone, and they told us that she was eating fine. Once we got her home and realized how much she had lost, I called them again and the lady said that she had not ate well. She was bleeding every time she went to the restro... read more

I would love to reach out to you regarding this situation so I can do some investigating on what happened. If you would like to give me a call to discuss, 615-771-7794. Thanks, Ashley
I took my dog in for boarding on June 21, 2019 freshly groomed and in good health. When I picked him up on the 30th, he was supposed to have been bathed, which I assumed they did since I was charged for it. My total bill was $650. When we got home, I noticed he was limping on his back left leg and his left ear looked bigger? He is a havenese with fluffy face and ears and medium length hair, so I didn't notice right away until I checked closely that the hair on his ear was matted all the way to the skin, not in one spot, ... read more

Hello Janet, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any future concerns or issues. -Ashley
Not very impressed. There has to be some better options out there! My dogs have been boarded here twice. My first complaint would be that no one ever answers the phone!! I have called on many different occasions and I have never gotten to a person any quicker than a 10-15 minute hold time. Maybe they have too much business and don't need to take my call. Or maybe there is not enough staff. Lacking customer service in every way! Secondly, both of my dogs came home last week after their boarding visit with kennel cough... read more

Hi Laura, thank you for taking the time to write us the review. Speaking to everyone who calls and in a timely manner is very important to us. We do offer other means of contacting us (email, text, website) because we have a high volume of calls every day. We are working on how to make this process more efficient, because we understand how frustrating it can be when trying to call and you can't reach us. We require every dog in our care to provide proof they are up to date on all their vaccinations, including Bordetella. Ev... read more
My Second Home has gone WAY downhill over past 2 years and I can no longer recommend it: it's become too corporate/$ centric, staff insufficiently trained, dogs not grouped with proper screening or supervision, too many dogs out in gen pop, sloppy scheduling, dirtier, dog being "mysteriously" injured.... my specific issues all fall under these categories. Last straw, showed up for scheduled and confirmed grooming appointment and was told "oops, you're not in the system", followed by blank stare/so why are you not leaving??... read more
Business response:
Thank you for your feedback, Susanne. We strive to provide great customer service, and we have obviously failed you in that aspect. As Pam, our GM, mentioned to you this morning, we are very grateful for any client who takes the time to offer suggestions in areas where improvements can be made. Pam is addressing your concerns with our customer service staff, as there was definitely a mistake in scheduling on our end when you came in today and your pups didn't show in our system as having an appointment. I understand how frus... read more
Our long-haired Maine Coon cat was returned to us with his hindquarters matted with excrement. We paid extra for daily grooming, of course. This is very distressing! Will not be using their services again!
Business response:
Hi Donna, I'm very sorry you were not satisfied with our services. The package you purchased for Watson and Bellamy included daily brushing, and I have documentation from our Assistant Boarding Manager that she gave them daily brushing, but clearly, we missed his hind-quarters. Renee did notice it when you picked up today and offered to take him back to bathing and clean him up and make it right, but she said you declined. Again, I'm very sorry for not providing you the services you expected from us, as we all take pride in ... read more
The only reason I am giving My Second Home a two star rating is because my dogs have boarded here multiple times in the past year and this is the first time I experienced a major issue. Although they always came home dirty and always have to pee the second I pick them up (which makes me think they weren't being walked regularly). This is the first time I had a major issue. I dropped my dogs off on a Thursday as I was leaving for the weekend. I noticed one of my dogs vomit a few times on Thursday but I did not think much ... read more

Hi Lindsay Thank you for taking the time to write your review. I'm very sorry you are not satisfied with the care Bentley received during his last stay with us. Thank you as well for returning my call yesterday to let us know he's on the road to recovery. Typically, when a client lets us know their dog or cat is not feeling well or acting out of character, we recommend they board their pet at a vets office for medical observation. Since you let us know at check-in time, we most certainly did not want to turn you away. We've ... read more
I have used this business a few times upon the recommendation from friends who had a good experience. The first time our dog stayed there, I thought "this is great!" The second time he stayed there I was less enthusiastic as they brought the wrong dog when I went to pick him up. Mind you, this is a place where you pay around $75 a night to board your pet. I chose the "silver package" which entitled my dog to some outside play time in addition to a safe place to sleep and eat while I was out of town. I called today to ch... read more
Business response:
Cindy, we want to apologize for your recent experience. We completely understand your frustration and can assure you that we are working with our team to ensure this miscommunication doesn't occur in the future. In regards to your pup's play time, the employees responsible for this are different from the porters. We have double checked and can confirm that all playtime was received and enjoyed. Once again, we completely understand your concerns and as pet owners ourselves, we know how difficult it is to leave your beloved pe... read more
