Quick facts

Planning the 32-minute trip
From Fairfield the route is Interstate 80 east, then North Texas Street and local roads to Midway Road. The estimate is free-flow with no traffic, so on a Friday before a holiday allow extra time on the freeway.
Since the drive is a little longer than from Vacaville or Davis, you can combine the trip with a tour. A staff member walks you through the runs and the cattery any day from 9 to 11 AM or 2 to 4 PM without an appointment.
Fairfield in numbers
Fairfield has about 120,800 residents in about 38,800 households, and about 36 percent of those households have children. By national AVMA ownership shares that suggests roughly 17,600 homes with a dog and 12,400 with a cat, an estimate rather than a count.
About 8 percent of adults are veterans and about 2.4 percent of people 16 and older are in the armed forces, which fits a city next to Travis Air Force Base. Military boarding families can read about the Travis AFB boarding page and the reduced military rate.
Fairfield outings and dog-friendly days
Fairfield has two good places to wear a dog out before a drop-off. Cordelia Community Dog Park, at 1300 Gold Hill Road, has two fenced play areas on about two acres, one set aside for small, shy and senior dogs. Rockville Hills Regional Park has more than 600 acres and over 30 miles of trails where leashed dogs are welcome for a small daily dog fee (Visit Fairfield).
A tired dog usually settles into a new run more easily, so a long walk the morning of drop-off is a reasonable idea.
Shelter and licenses
The Solano County Animal Care shelter, 2510 Clay Bank Road in Fairfield, serves Fairfield and six other cities. Keep your dog's license and rabies tag current; the rabies certificate is the first record the kennel asks for.
Run sizes and prices
Economy runs are $52 a night, Business Class $59 and First Class $72 on the 2026 rates. Stays of 14 nights or more drop to $65 in First Class, and cats are $35 a night.

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.
