Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home. Thank you so much Ken and Jane! You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
Dede (Duha) is definitely one of our top house/pet sitters so far! The moment we met I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She is the most loving, caring and responsible sitter one could wish for! She send us regular updates of her daily adventures with Kenzie and Ginger and we could not have felt more at ease. I know for sure that our dog fell deeply in love with her and misses her much. We hope to invite Dede back into our home soon! Five stars all the way!!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.

I am the owner (Dog Mum) of the 34kg lapdog Cerbi (a Bull Arab X aka Mutt who I adopted from the animal refuge when he was 18months old) He is big, strong, energetic, dumb and well meaning. He’s so full of love and excitement that I felt bad that he was home alone so often (Joy of shift work) and I was always nervous when watching him play/ interact with dogs because of my own fears. So I finally decided to become ‘one of those pet owners’ and look into Doggy Day Care, and in comes Odette and Hodgson Boarding like a knight in shining armour. The price was beyond reasonable, and the Van days mean I don’t have to panic about needing to work overtime or running late. The garden is huge with lots of things to keep the pups entertained and cared for, and it’s clear that Odette runs a good organisation. Updates and information are made readily available, she’s always trying to make things easier for busy pet parents, my pup gets to have the best day, and for the first time he didn’t try to bowl me over when I got home. Beyond incredibly happy with my decision, if you’ve got a pup with more energy than you, or who wants friends you MUST contact them.
We left our 2 dogs Ellen & Kate there for a day & we were very happy with their stay. We would highly recommend you leave your pets here, they will be cared for professionally.
We have left our little girl with leona twice and both times for very long periods on and off over 4 months..as our dog has high anxiety we were very excited to see how leona and her family made our girl part of the family. I call it a resort home for dogs love they are in her lounge at night time and a bonus guitar sing along! Thanks leona our dog loved staying with you!
Our 'Little Girl' has stayed with tante Leona numerous times, and she is very excited when we take her there. She is also always happy to come home! Yes she does need a bath, but that just shows she has had a great holiday time! Thanks Leona!
Leona is lovely, and my 6 month old puppy was happy and content when I picked him up after a week. The kennels are part of the main house, and face into one wall of the living room, perfect for little pooches who are used to being inside with humans.
Our small dog stayed there for four nights, I picked him up, he was filthy covered in ticks and picked up an ear infection, $127 bill at the vet and a whole lot of trauma for him and ourselves. I wouldnt take our dog back there in a fit........STAY CLEAR
Small establishment, $15 per dog per night. Dog kennels are a part of her home thus they experience inside and outside care. Wonderful establishment, will go there again.

Clean and tidy! Good staff very friendly!

After posting a positive experience for Critter Creek, I have updated it to 1 star. I left my dogs overnight, and while I understand they must have rules for drop off & collection, I was charged 2 nights boarding. A bit rich for me. Never going back, even though I was a loyal customer, always paying cash with no receipt. When I picked them up just after 16:00 they charged me for an extra day. There were not any more meals, nor did the dogs get exercised. Just stayed there for a couple more hours as I was delayed in collecting them.
I took my healthy clean dog to this kennels 3 weeks ago. When I picked her up she looked like a junk yard dog, scrawny and filthy and was also overcharged on quote originally agreed on. I in no way would recommend taking your pet there if you want your dog to receive the care they deserve look elsewhere. I had to give one star but I believe the treatment my dog got it deserves a 0 rating. Not happy Jan
My 2 dogs had daycare around 6 to 8 times whilst we were on holidays, allowing us to do day trips around the area. Anne, CJ and Rick were very accommodating and helpful. Would recommend Critter Creek Kennels and will use them again next holidays.
My two energetic dogs Daisy & Chilli just returned from an 8 day stay. They're relaxed and content and I believe they've spent plenty of time socialising with other friendly dogs in the outside pen. I've used Critter Creek kennels for many years and am very happy with the new owners. The new driveway/parking lot is a welcome upgrade!
Very disappointing, we have used Critter Creek for a number of years when Kim was running it and always had a lovely experience. The new owner is not welcoming and only offered a few negative grunts on pick up and drop off. When booking over the phone was told that drop off is at anytime during the day, when hubby dropped our dog off at 10:15am was greeted with "dident you see the times". Our dog was there for 5 days and has lost weight and the food we left was handed back with almost the same amount of food in it when we had left. No feedback besides "his a grumpy dog" which is not reflective at all. Don't think Critter Creek will last very long with current owner without significant changes, definitely won't be back.
Ever since we moved to the Fraser Coast region almost 8 years ago, all of our dogs have stayed at Critter Creek! When we heard Kim was selling the business we were hoping that someone new would come in and give our furbabies the same love and treatment they are accustomed to! I rang the number and spoke to Rick, I was quite surprised he had it up and running as quick as he did! So we booked our furbabies in and got to meet Rick, what a lovely person he is and what an exciting journey he's taken! Our dogs stayed for almost a week, then a few days later they were back again for another week! On pick up we got to meet Bree who is just lovely and our dogs absolutely adore her! Thank you again Rick and Bree for giving our furbabies the love they need while we are away 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
If I could give negative stars, I would. The man who now runs Critter Creek should not be allowed near animals. He is rude and arrogant and definitely does not give any impression of liking animals at all. My dog was happy and relaxed when she left Critter Creek when Sue was running it. This man admitted to terrorising my dog with a hose to move her into a kennel. If you love your fur baby do not leave them with this horrid person.
Rick took care of my 2 dogs for around a month whilst I figured out how to leave them home alone. One of the dogs has a broken knee, Arthritis and severe anxiety/ separation anxiety and me being very protective and nervous to leave her in someone else's care, was very strict with how she needs to be taken care of. Rick from the get go has always been kind, caring and catering towards her and her needs. He is very easy to get a hold of and is also easy to talk to. I always have great chats with him. I will definitely be returning and will always highly recommend him.
I am always nervous about leaving my dogs as one needs medication. Ricky is calm and capable and my dogs now jump out of the car to see him - obviously happy about being there. My dogs stay often and are always fine, well and happy when I come to collect them. I'm so glad I found Critter Creek. A hidden gem!
My little dog had a great 10 day stay at "Critter Creek Kennels". I would not hesitate in recommending this service. Thank you for your care and attention of my little fur baby.
The staff are really lovely and obviously love dogs. They sent me photos of my dog playing which set our minds at ease, as an adopted dog we hadn't had long. He seemed to love his carer too.
Thank you for taking such good care of my little Man Piccolo. It was good to know he was being cared for so well while i was away. Thank you for the lovely kind thought in giving me an art canvas with his photos on, i love it. I would recomend Hillcrest to anyone and reasonably priced too. Thank you very much Hillcrest.
Our dog came back to us as she went in so that was good but I don’t think she was let out of the kennels much and it’s a very old school high density concrete kennels setup. No obvious fenced play area. Bloke running the show was nice but i wouldn’t return
Happy Husky! We know when our pup has had a good time because at pick up he will be full of excitement and tell us all about it.. and he did! Thank you so much to Jo for the beautiful care and sending through some photos too! He smelt beautifully clean and was brushed too. Thank you for your wonderful care.
i went to drop my dog off before going on holiday and was horrified upon arrival as their entry looked like a rundown junk yard that was poorly maintained and right off the highway. i was instantly put off from leaving my dog with them especially after reading about dogs escaping and being hit by a car on the highway. this put me in a tough situation for a safe place for my dog to stay but i was told about MadPaws and was able to find such a lovely family that was so understanding of my situation and made me feel so much better about leaving my dog with them. i would never recommend Hillcrest Pet Resort to anyone that cared about their pets well-being and safety.
I have left my dog on 2 occasions and been very happy with the owners and the way the dog was looked after. I wouldn’t take notice of negative reviews as some have been proven to be fake.
Wasn't very happy taking my 2 fur babies here. I was very early arriving and staff member yelling at dogs to shut up and sounded aggressive to me. Have a timid sausage dog who also barks alot. Had me worried so I didn't leave them there
My dog Sharni loves coming for her holiday here with Colin & Jo. They care for our pets & are extremely loving. Cannot wait to drop her off again so now booking my next trip. Thanks Jo & Hillcrest
Jo is fantastic and is such a genuine caring person. We have sent our pooch Koko there twice during our visit to Hervey Bay and I know that she’s been well looked after during her stays.
Jonny b loves it there clean and relaxing surroundings friendly staff picked up my dog for the weekend totally kennel stress free a relaxed and happy dog
Helen is amazing. Our mini dachshund Evie loves Helen and all get friends. She goes to doggy day care twice a week and Helen has also looked after her when we needed to go away. Always feel at ease leaving her with Hervey Bay pet sitting. She always has so much fun and Helen keeps us updated with messages and photos the whole time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for doggy day care or pet sitting in Hervey Bay
Helen provides the best quality doggie day care and pet sitting in the bay. Highly recommended.
Was looking for a dog sitter for a friend and came across this wonderful place.
Absolutely amazing. Bought home a very happy, healthy puppy. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Very caring, lady that I would highly recommend to everyone.
Lady I spoke to was lovely but very busy
