Testimonials

Just picked Min up from her stay at Critter Creek again. She always comes home happy and tired. Thanks for looking after her. You always say she is no trouble, even though I know she can be a handful. I’d have no hesitation recommending Critter Creek.

Laura Harvey

Our dog has been going for a few years and loves it! He is so excited when we drop him off, he drags us in! We highly recommend.

Brittanie Crane

I dropped Billy off this morning for her second stint at critter creek and she went bonkers when she realised where she was going to be spending the day! Clearly SHE loves this place. As Billy’s humans, we are also really happy with the place. The admin service is well organised and professional and they clearly treat their critters very well. Thanks guys and girls.
