What Our Humans Are Saying
ベルくん
（Bell）
“I chose Wancoworks because it’s a pet hotel within a convenient distance that also offers training materials. I was particularly interested in their personality-building course for puppies. I believe Wancoworks is a wonderful facility, both as a pet hotel and a training center. It’s clear that Bell enjoys his stays, which gives me great peace of mind as his owner.”
きなこちゃん
（Kinako）
“When I was looking for a training class for my puppy, I chose Wancoworks because it was relatively close and seemed like a good fit. We’ve since used both their training and boarding services. Every time Kinako comes here, she eagerly jumps out of the car, wagging her tail energetically as soon as she sees the staff. When I come to pick her up, she even tries to go back inside as if she’s not ready to leave. Since dogs can’t talk, I think this behavior says it all.”
ナラちゃん
（Nara）
“I found Wancoworks online and started using their short-stay service with a coupon package to help socialize our puppy. Nara is a large breed and was growing quickly, but I was impressed that the short-stay plan could be used for six months based on the puppy’s weight at the time of purchase, and that it could be extended until 9 months with an additional fee.
I was initially anxious about letting her play in the dog park, but having a trainer present made me feel reassured. Since dogs can’t express themselves in words, I had some hesitation at first about leaving her, but the cheerful and welcoming staff, the updates during her stay, and the adorable photos they provided made all the difference.
Above all, I could really feel that Nara truly loves Wancoworks. I’m deeply grateful to the staff who always care for her with such affection. I believe the reason Nara is growing into such a well-behaved dog is thanks to the time she’s spent here. Thank you so much, always.”
さくらちゃん
（Sakura）
“I was looking for a cage-free pet hotel for daytime care, and that’s what led me to Wancoworks. What I appreciate most is how lovingly the staff care for the dogs.
Sakura, who has always had free rein in our house and yard, wasn’t used to leashes or daily walks, so she had never stayed at a pet hotel in her 16 years.
But at Wancoworks, she was able to freely move around and enjoy herself in a way that truly suited her. I’m so thankful for the environment they provided.
I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.
Each time we visit, it feels like Sakura becomes more social and energetic. The staff also helped us discover new sides of her that we hadn’t noticed ourselves.
Sakura is now 17, and I often find myself thinking—if only we had discovered Wancoworks sooner, we might have been able to communicate with her better and become even more attentive dog parents.”
マウイくん
（Maui）
“I love how clean and cage-free the environment is. It’s also reassuring that a professional trainer is always present.
Seeing videos of Maui happily playing on YouTube really shows how much fun he’s having. When he gets home, he’s calm and doesn’t cause any mischief.
He even got groomed during his stay! We’ll definitely keep using Wancoworks in the future.”
ルイくん、ノアくん
（Louis, Noah）
“When I saw how happy the dogs looked in the photos, I felt confident about leaving ours in Wancoworks’ care. We wanted a place that offered both training and boarding, and this was perfect.
Every time we arrive, our dogs can’t wait to get inside.
In the photos and YouTube videos they share, it’s clear they’re having an amazing time.
Our dog Louis is a people-lover but shy around other dogs—he looks so happy cuddling with the staff.
Noah, on the other hand, enjoys playing with the bigger dogs and always looks like he’s having a blast.
The staff are wonderful, and you can really tell how much they love and care for the dogs.
I used to be hesitant about pet hotels, but now I think if we don’t bring them here, our dogs might actually complain!”
小豆ちゃん
(Azuki)
“My partner and I love to travel, but of course, we can’t bring Azuki with us everywhere. Thanks to Wancoworks, we can enjoy our trips knowing she’s in good hands.
They always give us a warm welcome at check-in and happily share her stories when we return.
We also treasure the adorable photos they take each time—those are now cherished keepsakes.”
びすけくん
（ Biske）
“I initially brought Biske here for a month-long training program because I felt this was a place I could trust.
Since then, we’ve used long stays and overnight boarding too.
Every time we visit, Biske runs in joyfully without even looking back!
I also love the YouTube videos where I can see him having fun with the other dogs—it really reassures me that I made the right choice.
I’m truly glad we found Wancoworks.
Even though Biske can get a little too excited sometimes, the staff always welcome him with so much love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
むぎちゃん だいごろうくん
（Mugi,Daigorou）
“We initially chose Wancoworks because it was close to home. All four of our dogs have gone there—three of them have since passed, but they were attending right up until a few days before they left us.
Even in their later years, we kept bringing them because being around other dogs was stimulating, and the staff would walk slowly alongside them, allowing them to move at their own pace.
Even if they were napping most of the day, it was far better than being left alone at home.
Having the staff gently watch over them gave us such peace of mind, and we truly believe it was the best environment for them.”
