Second Home Boarding

Second Home Boarding is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 12138 Pecan Street in Austin, TX, and it takes cats as well. The kennel is open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM every day of the week.

What a stay looks like

Every pet gets an individual kennel with fresh water and bedding provided by the facility. Dogs move between play and rest through the day, with one-on-one sessions for dogs who prefer people and small-group play for those who enjoy company. Group sessions are kept small on purpose. Cats board here too, with individual play time in an indoor cat area instead of group play.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats
• Dog daycare with one-on-one or small-group play
• Indoor play space and an outdoor play yard
• Grooming, including nail trims
• Medication administration during a stay

What sets it apart

The approach is built around reading each pet's personality: activity is matched to the animal rather than run on one schedule for everyone. Rest is treated as part of the day, not just play. The facility's own framing is straightforward, a comfortable and lower-stress place for pets while they are away from home.

Rates and practical details

Nightly boarding rates run from $27 to $45. A free assessment day is required before a pet's first visit. Families boarding more than one pet in the same kennel get 20% off, and first responders, military members, and veterans get a 15% Hero Discount. Grooming and medication administration can be added to a stay.
