Kennels from $52 a night, all-inclusive (2026 rates)
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates; OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap (free-flow, no traffic); pet households = ACS households x AVMA 2024 shares (an estimate, not a count). Drive time is free-flow and runs slow on Midway Road; allow extra time.
Foothill Farms, in the 95841 and 95842 ZIPs, is a suburb of about 36,400 people where I-80 is the only road you need until the last few miles. For owners here, the kennel is one long freeway ride away.
The routing data lists 31.8 miles on I-80, 4.1 on Highway 113 and 0.6 on a county road. Total 37.4 miles, 31.4 miles as the crow flies, in a free-flow time of about 47 minutes. No local roads are needed to join I-80 from this side of town.
There are 12,338 households, a bit over half owner-occupied (52 percent), with a median income of about $68,300. About 40 percent of households have children under 18. The median home was built in 1977.
That gives an estimate of about 5,600 dog homes and 4,000 cat homes. About 5.6 percent of adults are civilian veterans.
Pets on daily medication are routine here. Medications are given at no extra charge, and your own food is welcome at no charge if it comes in the original bag with the amounts written in cups. Learn more about food and special diets and medications included.
A seven-night Economy stay for one small dog is 7 x $52 = $364 on the 2026 rates. For one cat, 7 x $35 = $245. Add a Happy Lick Mat at $4.99 if you want a treat on the schedule.
Start with Book / My Account to create a profile, upload vaccine records and send a stay request. The kennel confirms every reservation, and the boarding agreement is signed once. Your balance is paid at pick-up by cash, check, debit or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover). The payment page explains the rest.
Because the route is nearly all freeway, the morning window of 7:30 to 11:30 AM gives you the whole day ahead for the drive home. Check-out day works the same way in reverse: pick up by 11:30 AM or in the afternoon window from 2:00 to 5:00 PM for half the nightly fee.
All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.

I love boarding my dog there because on vacation I know he'll be safe. Well treated heat and AC all is good. They send me photos of them and they're very very friendly staff. I highly recommend HAPPY PAWS to anyone.
I love this place and so do the dogs. They offers tours, have A/C and/or heat. They always look and smell super clean. They even filter the indoor air. They email pics of them playing. I have 2 large breeds that share a 1st class kennel. They even offer treats and baths. So nice to have a place I trust. Everyone is...
