Wunderbar's Pet Hotel - Walnut Creek, California

Catherine P.

Thank you so much to Mindy and her wonderful staff for taking care of my sweet dog while my husband and I were on a family trip. We were comforted knowing that she was in good hands that truly cared about her.

I really appreciate how professional, sweet, and kind Mindy was throughout our e-mail communication. She provided updates on my dog and reassured me that she was doing well. She responded very quickly and also kindly answered all of my questions prior to boarding. She also sent pictures of my dog during playtime when I requested. I also appreciate how sweet Lauren was during drop off and pick up. My dog is very shy but I could tell that she was comfortable with Lauren. My dog was happy and playful when we came home from pick up.

I am so happy that I have found a lovely family-owned pet hotel in the area and highly recommend them.

We honestly can't praise Wunderbar enough. We found this amazing pet hotel while looking for somewhere for our dog Susan to stay when we went into labor. We have no family nearby and she's a reactive dog who wouldn't do well with a dog-sitter in the house or with other dogs. Wunderbar was the best solution for us as we know that she gets a private room, private toilet breaks and private play time. We started out with short day camps and built up to overnights. She's stayed with the team while we've been away on trips and has done many day camps with them when we've had to have workers in the house doing improvements. She loves her tris to the hotel and is excited for every drop off. She's got an amazing connection with Lauren at the hotel and she can't wait to see her every time we drive up. The hoptel were even fantastic in helping us out when our AC went down during the recent heat wave. We knew she wouldn't cope well with a worker in our house and we were glad that they had a last minute room available where she had AC and could be comfortable. We get the best happy photos whenever she stays with them and she's always so excited for her stays. I've lost count of the number of times we've used their services and we couldn't be happier to have found this dog hotel. Amazing staff and great facility. This is Susan's happy place - truly her home away from home.

I can’t speak highly enough of Wunderbar’s! Mindy and her team are always kind, helpful, incredibly responsive, and reliable. My anxious Australian Cattle Dog gets excited when he sees the employees come outside for him at check-in, and is always in a good mood after coming home. Keeping the dogs separate is a huge relief (especially as a dog mom to a dog-reactive herding dog), and speaks to the concern for safety and well-being of the dogs implemented at Wunderbar’s. I confidently trust Wunderbar’s, and am so grateful to have a reliable and happy place for my dog to stay when he can’t travel with me!

We've been bringing Banjo here for almost 10 years now and have always enjoyed how over the top happy he is when we drop him off at Wunderbar. We miss him more than he misses us I am sure. By the time we pick him up he is tired and happy and we're happy to have him back home. Love the treats they give us to take home with him and love how good they are with him. Thank you! 🐾💕

Mindy is great and I haven’t even dropped off my dog yet. So responsive and gracious. Marley is gonna love his bath. I love to professionalism and kindness. Looking forward to adding more comments after the bath. Thanks

This place is truly incredible! I have a very energetic and intimidating Belgian Malinois in which the team of kind professionals handled her with the love and care that she deserves. I had a horrible horrible experience at Wag Hotels in Oakland and was scrambling to find an alternative as she can be a challenging breed to manage. Wunderbar didn't bat an eye and knew all the tricks to keep my girl tired and happy. They keep all dogs separate which is a huge stress relief. I trust them to play with her as often as they say they do, unlike Wag Hotels, who threw my 62lb dog in a small room for an extended period of time without walking her or playing with her (extremely cruel and I will never go back there). Mindy and team have a family approach and really make you feel welcomed and treat your fur baby with the utmost care. I will be a happy returning customer for years to come!

Mindy and her team are amazing and caring! We regularly board our 2 hyper dogs here and they are always thrilled when we pull up to Wunderbar! Additionally, Wunderbar did a long term boarding for a family member was in the hospital. They took amazing care of her 90lb German Shepard, including a special diet and even sent pictures and updates on her pup while she was recovering. I can't say enough about how dedicated Wunderbar is to their clients. So glad we found them!

Weve been trialing a place for our dog to stay, building up to longer stays as were due to have a baby soon and will need somewhere for when we go to hospital. Wunderbar has been amazing, Susan loves going here and genuinely was happy to see staff on each visit. Last time we dropped her off she couldnt wait to go with her new friends. 😆 Unfortunately due to lockdown making it super difficult to socialise her too well and a nasty dogpark incident shes very wary of other dogs, luckily Wunderbar does offer private stay with 1-2-1 play times.
