2nd Home Pet Resort

2nd Home Pet Resort is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 3808 River Road in Columbus, GA, caring for small, medium, and large dogs. It opened in 2016 as an expanded boarding location for its sister veterinary practice, 2nd Avenue Animal Hospital. Owners can book overnight stays, cage-free daycare, or pet sitting for dogs that do better on their own.

What services does 2nd Home Pet Resort offer?

The resort covers the main needs of owners who travel or work long days. Here is what it provides:

• Overnight dog boarding for dogs of all sizes
• Cage-free doggie daycare with supervised indoor and outdoor play
• Pet sitting for anxious dogs or dogs that aren't comfortable around other dogs
• On-site pet retail

What makes it different from other kennels?

The biggest practical difference is the link to a veterinary practice. Its sister location, 2nd Avenue Animal Hospital, is nearby, so a vet is close if a boarding dog needs attention. For many owners, that matters more than any amenity.

The pet sitting option also stands out. Not every dog enjoys group play. Dogs that get nervous or don't mix well can get more individual attention instead of being placed in a busy playgroup. The staff describe their approach as treating the dogs in their care like family.

For social dogs, daycare offers supervised play both inside and outside. That makes it a reasonable choice for high-energy dogs that need to burn off steam while their owners are at work.

What should owners know before booking?

Business hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The facility is closed on Saturday and Sunday, so plan drop-off and pickup around that schedule. Vaccinations are required for all dogs. Owners should call 706-221-5840 to confirm which vaccines are needed and to check availability before a trip.
