Boarding, Daycare, and Grooming Service
At Indian Creek Kennel, we take pride in providing exceptional care for your furry family members while you’re away. From comfortable boarding to engaging doggy daycare, we make sure your pets are treated with all the love and attention they deserve.
For added convenience, we offer grooming, bathing, and nail trim services on the day of pick-up, so your pet is as fresh and happy as the day you left them with us.
Please let us know at least 48 hours in advance if you’d like to add a bath or nail trim to your pet’s stay.
For more information about what your pet's stay would look like check out the Boarding section at the top of this page.
Feel free to schedule a tour! Just give us a call at 618-529-4700 so we can ensure time to discuss your pet’s needs.
Annual Closure Notice: Time for a Break!
We want to give a heads up to all of our wonderful clients that Indian Creek Kennel will be closed from Friday, September 19 through Sunday, September 28 for our annual break.

After a very full and busy year, we're taking this short pause to recharge, spend time with family, and return refreshed and ready to care for your pets with our full attention and energy. If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call 618-529-4700.

About Indian Creek Kennel
Family-Owned and Operated
Indian Creek Kennel has been a trusted name in pet boarding and grooming in Carbondale for decades, and since 2014, it’s been our family’s honor to carry on that tradition. But our story with Indian Creek started well before then.
We’re the Britton family — Adam, Karen, Penny, and Milo — and our connection to the kennel goes back to 2002, when Adam and Karen were students at SIU and began working here during college. Originally from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, we were high school sweethearts who moved to Southern Illinois for school and ended up staying, like many do.
In 2014, we had the opportunity to purchase the business. That year was a whirlwind: we moved into the house in August, took over the kennel in September, and welcomed our daughter in October. Since then, it’s been a true family effort — from daily pet care to long-term planning and everything in between.
Outside of the kennel, we spend our time growing food, raising animals, supporting our kids in their activities, and staying involved in the local community.
Last fall marked 10 years in business for us, and we’re proud to continue serving Southern Illinois pet owners. We appreciate everyone who’s supported us over the years — whether you’re a longtime client or new to the kennel, we look forward to caring for your pets like we always have!
