See [spring break boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/spring-break/) and [summer vacation boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/occasions/summer-vacation/). ## A calm drop-off Leave your pet in the car at check-in. Staff carry belongings in and walk your pet to the building, which avoids a stressful scene in the lot and keeps hot pavement off paws in summer. On a warm afternoon, staff may pick up a small dog and hurry across. This is the same routine for every guest, from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://api.census.gov/data/2024/acs/acs5) - [AVMA - 2024 pet ownership and demographics](https://www.avma.org/news/pet-population-continues-increase-while-pet-spending-declines) - [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data](https://project-osrm.org/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) ### 2026 nightly rates - First Class kennel $72 - Business Class kennel $59 - Economy Class kennel $52 - Cat condo $35 All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.

Our two pitties love their periodic "vacation" stays at Happy Paws! We live an hour away, but it's well worth the drive. Highly recommended. Tim N., Google review, April 2026 Just picked up my pup Loki from a 4 day stay, the staff was extremely kind and helpful. We cannot be more happy with the level of care and pictures uploaded while we were away. Loki even got a bath before pick up! Which I highly recommend. We plan to use them whenever we have the need.
