Drive time is free-flow and runs slow on Midway Road; allow extra time. With nearly four in ten Esparto households raising children, the family cat is often the last thing on a trip checklist. Here is how to plan for it. ## Quick facts - About 44 minutes, 29.8 miles from Esparto - Interstate 505 for 17.6 miles, Highway 16 for 4.0 - $35 a night, $30 for each additional cat sharing a tower (2026 rates) - Cats from one household can share a tower ## Esparto households with kids Esparto has about 1,050 households and 3,713 residents; 37.5 percent of households have children under 18 and the median age is 34. About 79 percent of homes are owned. If the national share held, roughly 340 Esparto households would have a cat, an estimate and not a count. School breaks and summer trips cluster in the same weeks, so ask early for those dates. A booking request sent a few weeks ahead gives the kennel time to confirm. ## Out of the valley The route follows Highway 16 for 4.0 miles, joins Interstate 505 for 17.6 and ends on Midway Road. Plan on about 44 minutes without traffic. Put the carrier on the floor behind the front seat so it cannot slide. Drop-off windows are 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM daily. ## Two or three cats Esparto homes with two cats can use one tower for both. The second cat sharing costs $30 instead of $35 on the 2026 rates, so a week for two is 7 x $35 + 7 x $30 = $455. The [two or more cats page](https://happypawskennels.com/cat-boarding/multi-cat-stays/) explains who can share and who does better apart. ## Records for the stay Rabies and FVRCP must be current through check-out day. A kitten has to be 16 weeks old before the first day. Upload records with your account or bring them to the door; the [cat vaccine guide](https://happypawskennels.com/vaccines/cat-vaccines-for-boarding/) lists the timing. ## Booking from Esparto Request the dates through Book / My Account, upload the vaccine records and sign the boarding agreement once. The kennel confirms every reservation. Since the drive is about 44 minutes, plan a tour around other errands. Tours run every day, 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, with no appointment, and a staff member walks with you. ### 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 shares](https://www.avma.org/news/pet-population-continues-increase-while-pet-spending-declines) - [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.
