“Critter Care is the best!”
“Critter care is the best! We’ve been taking our family dogs here for almost 20 years and there isn’t anyone I trust more to watch him. We not only don’t have to worry about our dog on vacation but know that he’s having a vacation of his own!”

“So grateful for Creekside Critter Care”
“Ann and her extraordinary team go above and beyond to ensure our 4 year old lab gets her daily walk or play date! We’ve been customers for several years now and are so grateful for Creekside Critter Care, as my husband and I tend to work long hrs away from home. Communication is fabulous from Ann, as is her flexibility, expertise, and prices. Plus, she’s just a really kind person that your pet will adore!”

Friendly and great communication while we were away. Loved seeing the pictures of our girl having fun with the other dogs:) We will definitely take Ohana there when we have another need. Highly recommend💗”

“Highly recommend Creekside Critter Care”
“MaryEllen’s Creekside Critter Care (CCC) has been boarding our dogs for the last 7 years. Our older super-mutt, Gus, always knows where he is when we pull into her driveway. He truly enjoys his time there. We had a little Yorkie who initially manifested separation anxiety when we would leave her behind, but MaryEllen’s special focus on making each client’s dog be comfortable, won her over. The pictures and videos MaryEllen sent, showed how happily our dogs played with the other dogs at CCC. We highly recommend Creekside Critter Care.”

“I know Mary Ellen is taking great care of her.”
“Mary Ellen who runs Creekside Critters is incredible. Josie always is so excited when we arrive and I know she will be in great hands when I travel. Mary Ellen cares so much about each dog, she gets to know them and makes them feel comfortable. She takes the time to send pictures and updates. Such a big heart for each dog she cares for. So lucky to have her watching Josie when I am traveling. As I do not have to worry about how she is doing, as I know Mary Ellen is taking great care of her.”

” I just wanted to take a moment and tell you Thank You. I know I tell you, but I really want you to know that I really do appreciate it. I wanted you to know that it does my heart good to see Maggie go to sleep with a smile on her face. I mean she has a real smile on her face when she goes to sleep after a day at your house. I can’t explain to you how much Maggie enjoys coming to Doggy Day Care. Thank you for sharing your home and your life with the dogs of Kent.”
— Sheri B, Kent
” Maryellen: I did want to thank you for sharing your bit of paradise with me (and Demi). I can’t say how much I enjoyed meeting you and getting the tour. I had a smile on my face all day. What a terrific place you have. I could tell almost from the moment we met and by just the “feel” of the atmosphere there, you have a very special place for dogs. How lucky we are as owners to be able to connect with someone like you to care for our companions! You may hear from me again when we have a need but in the meantime I am telling people about my experience at your facility. “

” Ann and Maryellen: I am often asked by customers if I know a good doggie daycare and I ALWAYS recommend Creekside Critter Care. I have customers who use you and give you rave reviews.

“I wanted to thank you for all the TLC you extended to Murphy so that he could enjoy his Thanksgiving! He loved the homemade treats. Murphy is as always looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my boy (despite his occasional bouts of “puppyness”!). He’s currently out on the back deck barking at absolutely nothing! How long will his puppyhood last??? Best always & thanks again,”
— Carla J, Kent
“I can’t thank you enough for taking care of my baby boy, Cody, while we were away. That love and attention really showed when you came to visit. He was so excited to see you. Thank you again for being so kind and generous. I will be recommending you to every dog owner I know.”

“Creekside Critter Care has been a life saver for my dog Toby. He loves going to Creekside. Maryellen is wonderful in giving Toby the love, exercise and care he needs. Toby has been going to Creekside since he was a puppy and the additional training he gets just from her understanding is invaluable. He’s tired when I get home but very very Happy. Don’t know what I’d do without her. Thanks, Creekside.”
— Selina H, Renton
“My dog, Jackie, loves Creekside Critter Care! Maryellen, and everyone at CCC, is wonderful and so good with the dogs. They really go the extra mile in taking care of the dogs, giving them the mental stimulation and physical exercise dogs need to be happy, relaxed and non-destructive. Jackie eagerly waits to go to CCC – I think she thinks it’s her second home!”

“If you were ever considering putting your dog into daycare, I would tell you to give Creekside Critter Care a call immediately.
I can say that it was one of the best things I could’ve ever done for my dog. Cortez is a Border Collie/Rottweiler mix, which means he has a lot of energy and a very busy mind! As an only dog in a household of two cats, it was evident to me right away that his socialization with other dogs was not what it should be. He had gone through obedience, but had very poor manners at off-leash dog parks. He was constantly chasing, herding, and well, pestering other dogs to the point where the dirty looks I got from other owners made me decide I was no longer going to bring him to off leash dog parks anymore, but I still thought it was important for him to be around other dogs. There was also the issue of exercise. I work full time, and was able to walk him at least three times a week, but it was still not enough. So I decided to look into daycare for Cortez and gave Creekside Critter Care a call. They invited my fiance and I over to evaluate Cortez to see if he would do well with other dogs, and to talk with us.
Maryellen is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to animal behavior, and has helped us in many ways by reporting to us things she sees in his behavior, and working with Cortez on behaviors that need to be corrected so that he plays with the other dogs in the group in a manner which is acceptable. As a former groomer and veterinary assistant, I am very involved with my pets and consider them members of my family. Their welfare is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide a loving, nurturing environment. I just want my pets to be happy! Daycare for Cortez is a big piece of this equation. Maryellen or Ann pick Cortez up and drop him off. I know he is loved and taken care of there, and that is immensely important to me. He gets a tremendous amount of exercise, which benefits him and gives his mom a break! He looks forward to daycare so much that he will often pace by the door on Thursday mornings constantly looking out the window, waiting anxiously for his ride to pick him up. Once they come and get him, he makes a beeline for the car. He can’t wait for the fun to begin. I am so grateful to Maryellen and Ann for all their love and care, and I know if Cortez could talk, he would tell you that Thursday is his favorite day of the week!”
