What Reviews Say

Wanderlust Dogs in Delray Beach receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from approximately 163 reviews analyzed. Customers consistently praise the facility's cleanliness, spaciousness, and the friendly, caring staff. A standout theme is the dog's visible excitement to arrive and the happy exhaustion they show after play, often supported by daily photo/video report cards that give owners peace of mind. Many reviewers have become repeat customers, with some driving significant distances. The owner Jason and a few staff members are frequently mentioned positively. A few negative experiences are noted: one dog suffered a paw injury from a closing door, another was expelled mid-stay for reactive behavior with what the owner felt was insufficient warning, and one reviewer was dissatisfied with the evaluation process. Overall, the majority sentiment is highly favorable, with the facility being described as a trusted, loving environment for daycare and boarding.

Worth noting

Dog sustained paw injury from closing door; owner felt no apology or compensation offered

one of them had their foot caught in a closing door that resulted in an injury. I had to have a friend come and get her and take her to an emergency vet and cut my trip short because I didn't have anyone to watch them. I never received an apology or an offer to pay for anything

Dog expelled mid-stay due to reactive behavior without prior warning, causing owner to scramble for care

we got a call 3 days into her stay that she was going to have to leave because of reactive behavior that wasn't improving... they hadn't called us prior to notify us of the concerning behavior, or ask what can soften her mood, or even saying 'if this doesn't improve, she is going to have to leave'

Accusation of disgruntled employee making a false report; owner returned after investigation

there was an incident reported and like many others I pulled out and brought my dog somewhere else where, honestly she was very unhappy... a disgruntled employee made the accusation and if it was true that then why was their license renewed

Reactive/anxious dog not accepted due to unrealistic expectations, no certification claimed for evaluator

Lexus the manager was nice but she is the one doing the evaluations and has no certification , nothing to show for . Unfortunately the customer service is not great either

Lack of detailed behavioral feedback without prompting

my only area that isn't up to my expectations, is that I don't get much feedback as to how her time was unless i asked. i'd like to know a bit more detail on how she ate, pottied, played, slept

No training or agility classes offered

I hope they will offer training such as agility, etc. in time!
