If your workday runs from Dixon to Davis, Sacramento or the Bay Area, a dog home alone for ten hours is the problem day care solves. Here the kennel sits between town and the highway.

Ten minutes a day, round trip
Dixon is 2.9 miles from the kennel, mostly on Highway 113. A morning drop-off before the 7:30 to 11:30 AM window closes and an afternoon pick-up between 2:00 and 5:00 PM keep the detour to about 10 minutes of driving a day.
Dixon has about 6,813 households and an estimated 3,100 of them have a dog, going by national ownership shares. The figure is an estimate, not a count of dogs.
How day care is priced
A full day is $38 for one dog. For a few hours, the rate is $7 an hour, and it stops growing at $38. A second dog from the same home sharing a kennel is $32 a day.
For a dog who comes three days a week, the weekly total is 3 x $38 = $114.

The package for regular days
The Buy 10 get 12 package gives 12 days of day care for the price of 10, so two days are free. It suits a Dixon commuter who needs a few days a week for a month or two. The packages page shows the details, and the hourly page covers shorter visits.
What your dog needs first
Dogs need rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella and canine influenza vaccines on file, plus a one-time boarding agreement. Dogs over four months also need a Solano County license, which you can renew through the county's online portal. The vaccination page lists the timing.
Boarding when the day gets longer
If a late meeting becomes an overnight, the same kennel offers boarding in three run sizes. Start with the Dixon boarding page when you want a stay instead of a day.

What pet owners say
Clean and well organized, with a friendly, helpful staff. 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.
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.
