On Offer

We have three types of critter accommodation available

Doggy Daycare

Socialise/play/exercise in our secure, covered outdoor yards or our shaded courtyard. Allows your K9 kids to be active and happy, preventing boredom and enabling them to learn social skills in a safe, secure environment. Enjoy a walk in our onsite forest or frolic in our three fenced rolling paddocks. Our experienced and passionate staff spend time and lots of love with each and every animal in our care. Dogs are socialised according to size and of course temperament.

Unfortunately we are not able to take on any new guests for day care on a Wednesday or a Friday as we are at full capacity. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Testimonials

Just want to say a big thank you to all the staff at Critter Creek for taking such good care of Dozer and Ruby while we were away. Sent our elderly dog to the kennels reluctantly due to his deteriorating health, but he was looked after like he was one of their own. Thanks so much, awesome service.

I have always used Critter Creek for my furry family members. My beautiful Stella who has now passed away was there when she was old and infirm but she was still accepted with open arms and looked after, thank you. I have recently come back from 10 days away and my cat, Truffles and wee dog Teddy spent their holiday at Critter Creek. Teddy has Addisons disease so he has to be kept an eye on, I know that the wonderful team at Critter Creek will look after my babies and that they come back home happy and healthy, I would not go anywhere else, thank you so much for the love and attention you show them.

Eva McGonigal

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.
