Our promise

We built My Second Home because we know the heartache of leaving your dog behind in a cage.

Dhiman, Sowerby & Pillay Founders · three dog-mad expats, since 2015

We're the anti-kennel. Every guest sleeps in a room-style suite — not a crate. Every day is supervised free-play in playgroups matched by size and temperament, inside what the press has called the world's largest indoor pet park.

And because the worst part of leaving your dog is not knowing — you can watch your dog play, swim or nap from your phone, any time you like.

Six ways we look after them

Everything your dog
needs, under one roof.

From a half-day's daycare to a fortnight's boarding, on-site grooming and one of the region's most respected training academies — all delivered cage-free.

The watch-your-dog promise

From the office,
or the other side
of the world.

Every boarding suite has its own camera, and the play-park is on too. Sign in on your phone whenever the worry creeps in — at 11am between meetings, or 2am on a different continent.

We think it's the single most reassuring thing about leaving your dog with us. So we don't charge extra for it.

Before they stay

A short checklist,
because their safety
comes first.

Cage-free, free-play boarding only works when every dog is healthy and well-socialised. Bring proof of these on your first visit and we'll get them straight into a playgroup.

First-visit assessment

Before their first daycare or boarding stay we run a free temperament assessment — we want to be sure they'll love it as much as their owner does.

Founders' story

Built by three
dog-mad expats.
Since 2015.

Three friends — an advertising man, a sales lead and an animal trainer — sat in a Dubai living room in 2014 and agreed they'd never again leave a dog in a kennel. A year later, on a plot in DIP-2, they opened what the press would call the world's largest indoor pet park.

Ten years on, that single resort has become three. A $2.7 m investment grew to a $10 m commitment, with a third Dubai resort and a first overseas resort in planning.
