My husband and I met Jeri at a Wilton mixer. We operate a Rescue and needed to kennel a current foster rescue GSD while "Charlie's" fosters went out of town. We called Jeri and she was extremely willing to work w/our rescue. The first time we took Charlie, we were greeted immediately and warmly. The check-in was easy and the staff were very accommodating. Charlie immediately felt right at home. He walked into the kennels w/out a second thought. Jeri kept us updated on how Charlie was doing and how well he was doing. By the time Charlie was picked up, Jeri had nicknamed him "Sweet Charlie". The second time we had to kennel Charlie, Jeri had no available openings. However, a day later, she called and said someone had cancelled and asked if we wanted to take that spot. I said, "YES". This time, Charlie jumped out of the car and couldn't wait to get inside. I highly recommend Badger Creek Kennels. Jeri and her staff are very kind, not only to their two-legged clients but it is obvious their four-legged clients are well cared for too. read more

Everything great, dogs had a great time. Employees very nice and answered all my questions.

My two shepherds just had their first stay at Badger Creek. I was nervous but when we picked them up, the dogs didn't have a care in the world. They were happy to see us but had zero anxiety, no whining, no signs of any sort of bad treatment whatsoever. It was like picking up kids from the best summer camp ever. Happy, slept the whole way home, and they got pedicures too. lol This is our new kennel, be confident if you are looking for somewhere to leave your dogs while you're on vacation. This is the place. read more

I had to euthanize my 8Yr old Doberman Pinscher 2 days after bringing her home from Badger Creek Kennels. Her front leg began crumpling and rear leg was slipping out from under her and she was walking on top of the foot with pads pointing upward. The vet told me that these neurological problems developed chronically over time unless there was a recent acute attack or trauma. Jeri, the owner was unresponsive (meaning she ignored them) to my emails with questions about what transpired, what schedule she maintained and what was the bandage in the video of Sheba. (attached) Staff person, Chelsea was rude when I asked to see the run where Sheba stayed, as if my request was too much of a bother as she had to check in another client, in spite of her knowing my dog was dead. I got the feeling they were very nonchalant to the point of hiding something. (No big deal, not our problem.) This occurred in April and it has taken this long (4 mos.) to put my grief aside to catalog my experience. My heart was ripped from me and the guilt I feel for taking her there is unbearable. Would they have treated her with the same indifference they showed me? read more

We had another fantastic stay for our two little old dogs ,this time for 11 nights! All that we described in our post from 9/23/21 was still accurate . They came home bathed, happy and healthy. Seemed like they had never been away from us! We highly recommend this kennel: Jeri and Chelsea provide a safe and loving environment for our special , wonderful dogs! read more

We boarded our 4 year old Lab mix at Badger Creek Kennels for the first time this past week. We were very nervous as he has never been boarded before and we were not sure how he would do. When we dropped him off he was anxious but when we picked him up he was as happy as could be! They also shared pictures of him playing and having a great time while we were gone. As much as we missed our Scout, it's so comforting to know that he was in great hands and we will definitely be using this kennel in the future! read more

This is for sure my doggo's home away from home. I have a fearful/anxious pittie with a bite history, so I cannot leave him with just anybody. He LOVES BCK, he bolts out of my car whenever we arrive for drop off. I never worry about him when he is there, and know that Jeri or Chelsea will always reach out if there is an issue. I have used Badger Creek LOADS of times and they have always taken great care of my dog. read more

We trust Jeri at Badger Creek Kennels with our two dogs. We have been taking our dogs to them since 2015. read more

Badger Creek Kennels - Our two dogs! - Pet Sitting Near Me - Wilton, California

We have brought our two dogs to Badger Creek Kennels to kennel for years. The owner, Jeri, knows what she is doing. She runs her business very professionally and takes expert care of the dogs left in her custody. Yes, it's a kennel environment, with a number of dogs confined to runs, but the runs are generous in size and the dogs do get out in the open yards for lengthy amounts of time two or three times a day. The property is set in the rural area known as Wilton, which gives the facility a relaxed feel. read more

Love Badger Creek Kennels. Jeri and Chelsea take amazing care of our dogs. We feel comfortable leaving them in their care. The indoor/outdoor runs are great as is the fact that the dogs get play time outdoors in the grassy area a couple times a day. read more

Badger Creek Kennels far exceeded my expectations. As a nervous first time boarder for my older Maltipoo, Jeri and crew did everything they could to get my temperamental dog to eat...and they were successful. Whew! What a relief! I highly recommend Badger Creek Kennels for your boarding needs. The best kennel iaround! read more

We were so happy to board our dog at Badger Creek they did a fantastic job and continually sent. Text updates and cute photos and I highly recommend them, and I will definitely use them again. We always sign up for a bath and nails for when we pick her up and she comes back so pretty and happy and absolutely exhausted from all of her playtime. Thank you thank you thank you for doing such a great job.!! read more

Awesome owners very accommodating first time to a kennel we'll definitely return. Local business who appreciates their customers

My dog is a big brat so finding him a place to stay while we vacation, where we won't have to worry so much, is a nice surprise. We were able to bring him in for a test stay and he did fine. The ladies were awesome! We will be back many times! read more

My dog has stayed with Badger Creek Kennels twice and has done well both times. Drop off and pick up communication has been good, and most importantly my dog has been in good condition and happy when we pick him up. I'll certainly be using Badger Creek Kennels to watch my dog the next time I need to go out of town. read more

They were great. They kept our dog during the July 4th fireworks period as she freaks out with loud noises. They are more affordable than most other kennels, nice and courteous, and the price was exactly what they stated. Would definitely use them again. read more

My boys love coming here! We started daycare last year here to get them used to the place for a future week long stay. The staff have always been so nice and responsive to us especially when they were boarded for a week and we were texting and calling for updates. They still come here once in awhile for day care/boarding. My boys always come home happy and tired. I feel confident whenever I leave them here knowing they'll be in good hands and that's what's important to me. There's a young lady there who is the best. She's so sweet and love it when she's there helping us which is usually most of the time. Your pup will be in great hands here! read more

Love Badger Creek. - I always know my fur baby is doing well there. She comes home tired from playing with all her new friends and swimming in the kiddie pool. read more

If you're looking a place that cares about your dog this place is a must. Jeri is always sweet when I take my puppy Simba in. My puppy knows we are taking him to the kennel miles ahead is always excited when he get there. Jeri always accommodates our last minute reservation and is sweet to leave our puppy for the day even if they are booked fully. The prices are very reasonable and they post videos throughout the day of your puppies playing and interacting outside on the playground. E read more

I just boarded 4 of my special-needs cats there and had a very positive experience! As a "mawmee" of special-needs cats, I am very very particular when it comes to their care, and did a lot of Googling between here and the Bay Area (I live in Carmichael) when selecting where to board them while I moved apartments. I had never heard of Badger Creek Kennels, but they came up on one of my searches. They made my list, and I called them and set up a same-day tour. They were wonderful in accommodating my work schedule, staying open at least 20 minutes past closing time to show me around. I got a very good feeling about the place right away, and made my boarding reservation on the spot at the end of the tour. I felt comfortable keeping my medical needs cats there knowing that the owner is medically trained and lives on site. I also appreciated that they offered "vertical suites" for the cats, as opposed to small little cubbies like most boarding places! She was okay with me bringing scratching posts and such to furnish it for my cats, which I definitely did. When I dropped off my cats, her employee was very thorough in going over their list of medications to fully understand them. We discussed their health conditions in detail as well. While they were there for about 1 week, Jeri was great about keeping me updated on how they were eating and taking pills, and how they were doing in general! She even sent me a video toward the end of their stay of my cat Lilac playing and mewing! Lilac is usually very reserved with unfamiliar people, so I was super pleased to see her being so social and happy. Nobody needed any urgent medical care while they were there, but Jeri had gone over how she would transport the cats to a local veterinary emergency hospital, VCA Bradshaw, if the need arose. I happen to work for the company that owns that veterinary hospital (at a different location), so I called them and "checked the reference". VCA Bradshaw confirmed that Badger Creek has an account in good standing with them and is very reputable about bringing in animals in early stages of any medical issues! This was really a source of reassurance to me. I left a detailed signed document with Badger Creek authorizing emergency treatment for my cats at VCA Bradshaw (or any other clinic) and a list of emergency contacts and my pets' regular doctors. I woke up late on the day I needed to pick up my cats, and only had a few hours before I had to report to work to rush down to Wilton and pick up my cats! I showed up a bit late but Jeri didn't make me feel bad about it. I was definitely in a rush and kind of scattered, but she was very efficient in getting my cats checked out, getting their things in order, and helping me carry everything to the car. This was an A++ boarding experience. I had never kenneled my cats before so I was really nervous, but it was very positive. It was a nice little vacation for me as a mawmee to just focus on moving and taking care of my own things, a break from managing my cats! I would absolutely kennel at Badger Creek again, and picked up a stack of flyers and business cards to stock at my work to pass out to clients and coworkers. read more

I was very apprehensive taking my adult lab their when dropping off and seeing the facility for the first time in person, the pictures posted online look a lot better than the reality of the place. You animals are house in a hug metal barn you can imagine how that is in the summer for your animals. my 7 year old lab was in perfect health and physically fit with all shots before going to the facility. The day I picked her up she seemed ok initially but a few days after started coughing very badly continuously to the point she looked and made the actions of vomiting but nothing came out she continued to do this until it was a constant hacking 24/7 and when checking her throat to see if she had something stuck in it throat I immediately noted a large mass on her upper gums looked like a large marble hanging of her gums so I took her to ER BRADSHAW VET where they told me she had a VERY SEVERE INFECTION had to do X-rays give her pain meds and antibiotics so far first bill is costing me $700 now let me say this I'd give my last leg and will pay anything to keep my dog healthy and ok so I will pay whatever is needed to get her better. But beware of this and my story before you choose to take your animal to this or any other boarding facility. I will never take her back to this Place and subject her to a kennel cough health risk such as this!! Will update more later as we see how she does.I also had just bought a brand new pure bread akc black lab prior to knowing Lana was ill and had this kennel cough and now I'm hoping my puppy doesn't get it and we loose her. She was diagnosed with kennel cough not the type covered by the bordatella vaccine.I have antibiotic meds and pain meds for her at this point.I did speak to someone at the facility today and they said they were sorry she was ill and thank you for letting them know!! So my $300 boarding for The Weeknd is so far costing me triple that amount for just one dog at the ER VET. I will say the people were nice their and never rude. read more

This is by far the best boarding facility you can take your pet to. I have had experience with numerous facilities and this exceeds them all, as far as the type of care and value you pay for. Jeri (the owner) TRULY cares for the animals. She lives on the property and is a veterinary technician. She is attentive and even gave my dog a supplement when his stool was runny. Did I mention that all my dog's bedding, blankets and toys are washed right before I pick him up, without even having to request this? I mean, c'mon! This type of extra service would have incurred extra fees at other boarding sites. This is also the only place my dog will gladly jump out of the car and walk into. At other facilities, he completely resists entering the door and wants to run back to the car. That says something! I love that Jeri also posts pictures and videos on Badger Creek's Facebook page so that you can get updates on the pets while you're away. When my family and I moved out of the area, we looked for other boarding options closer to our new home. Nothing even came close to Badger Creek. We will now drive out of our way to bring our dog here when we need boarding services. It is worth the long drive for us to make sure our dog gets good care. We have been bringing our dog here for the past 3 years now. Thank you so much, Badger Creek, for treating the pets here as your own... Not like some facilities in the area who just view them as business and charge any extra fee to provide basic dog needs. If you would like excellent and loving care provided to your pet when you're away, take them to Badger Creek. I can't recommend them enough. read more

I can't believe I've never left a review of Badger Creek until now. We bring both our dog and our cat here often. Jeri and her team really care about the animals in their care. They take a very personalized approach and it shows. We love how much our animals love it at Badger Creek too! They are always excited to be there (yes, even the cat). The prices are also great for what you get! I could t recommend this place more! read more

I have yet to keep my pets here but I have done some work for them. I am an electrician. I have been out here multiple times to upgrade their compound. It has always been clean. They added air movers and purifiers. All in all good people and good facilities. read more

I first met Jeri while boarding my dog at Piccadilly Farms and followed her over to Badger Creek Kennels when Piccadilly closed down and she opened her own business. Jeri and her staff are wonderful. They get to know each dog and try to socialize them with compatible dogs during their stay. I've had several dogs over the past few years and they all seem to enjoy their time at the kennel. A big bonus is that Jeri is a RVT and is capable of caring for animals that need medication or special attention. I've seen her at my vet's office with someone's dog who got sick during their stay. The facilities are clean, the staff is great and the animals well cared for at their home away from home. read more

Good price, offers outdoor/indoor or combination of both. Washes bedding and toys before they leave, my dogs like it there and will bathe your dogs too. She posted a pic to I could see, she (Jeri) allowed their own food. It is not a typical caged veterinarian place, it is a county atmosphere. Go take a tour before you leave town where ever you plan to board your animals. read more

I don't normally write reviews but I really wanted to in the case of Badger Creek. Jeri and her employees take excellent care of our dogs. They just love Jeri and her employees. Five stars for service, attention to detail, cleanliness and loving care of our FurChildren. read more

I am a nervous doggie mama and have difficultly leaving our two dogs for trips and vacations--Jeri and staff at Badger Creek are amazing and truly care about the animals needs which allows me to feel better about leaving town. I love that our two dogs get lots of yard time together even through they don't participate in the doggie play groups. Badger Creek customizes our dogs stay based on their individual dog needs. Our two dogs alway get super excited when they realize they are getting to go to the kennel--that is a wonderful feeling! read more

I have been taking my dogs here for several years and never worry about them while I am gone. I know that Jeri does a great job caring for my dogs! She takes the time to get to know all of the dogs that stay there and knows my dogs well. The runs are pretty big (especially if you get the indoor/outdoor run), but they also get a lot of time in yard. They get a lot more exercise than they would at most other kennels. read more

We have a number of kennels in and around Elk Grove. I believe Badger Creek should be at the top of the list! My dogs knew Jeri at Picadilly over 12 years ago and we followed her when she opened Badger Creek. My own dogs, and all the dogs I referred there, have received the best of care and come home so very happy. Jeri and her staff take the care of the pets in their care very seriously and have earned a '10-Star' review!!! I will continue to take my dogs to Badger Creek and to recommend this kennel whole-heartedly. read more

My dog has spent a fair bit of time with Jeri & her staff during 2013. I drive several hours to this kennel, as there is simply nowhere better for any dog. Prices are great, the level of care is like nowhere else, and I never have to worry about anything. My dog isn't happy everywhere but is very content staying with Jeri & her team. thanks! read more

I've taken my dogs to Badger Creek almost exclusively - except when I try to make a last minute reservation, and they have no room.....but, that's my fault... lol I know my dogs will be cared for well by people who know dogs and really care for them. It is not convenient for me based on the location, but it is definitely worth it knowing my dogs will be well cared for. The prices are reasonable - which makes a huge difference when going away for more than a day or two. The prices make the location feasible (needing to take them in the day before travel, etc.). They have indoor/outdoor runs!! which is hard to find at a good boarding facility. I so appreciate that they will sometimes post pictures. They have even mailed me a photo of my dogs out playing after their stay! Much appreciated! The runs are in a converted barn, which is cooled very well in the summer. They have cats on the property who keep the area clean of pesky rodents. The cats make one of my dogs crazy! but, it is understandable based on the country environment - so, it's my dogs issue - she'll just have to get over it! read more

I have been a customer of Badger Creek Kennels for close to 10 years. When I was given an opportunity for advancement in my job, I knew that I would be traveling and my dog meant everything to me and being taken care of while I was away was my primary concern. I toured Badger Creek and spoke to Jeri at length. The kennel is very well kept, clean and the activities and attention they provide for the dogs was what I was looking for. Whenever I picked up my dog he was happy and healthy, and when I dropped him off he was excited to get out into the play yard. It was a relief knowing that he was well taken care of while I was away. Buster has since passed, but my new puppy Molly is now part of the gang at BCK. I wouldn't think of taking my dogs anywhere else! read more

First time i left my pets here. I looked at several other places and wouldn't leave my animals in the majority of them even if it was free. That being said all 3 of my dogs came home healthy and happy and exhausted from playing so much lol. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. read more
