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.
Knights Landing is a small Yolo County community on the Sacramento River with about 415 households, every one of them owner-occupied. Knights Landing is about 41 minutes from the kennel without traffic, and drop-off runs 7:30 to 11:30 AM or 2:00 to 5:00 PM every day.
The routing runs about 8 miles on County Road E8, 1.1 miles on I-5 Business, 3.6 on I-80 and 15.5 on Highway 113 to Midway Road. Total 29.5 miles; 26.9 as the crow flies. That is about 41 minutes free-flow.
Most of the trip is two-lane county road or highway, so allow a little extra time.
Knights Landing has about 1,100 people and 415 households. All 415 are owner-occupied, the median home was built in 1965, and median household income is about $49,500. About 37 percent of households have children under 18, and only 3 percent moved in the past year.
AVMA shares suggest about 190 dog homes and 130 cat homes. At this scale the estimate is rough.
Knights Landing is an unincorporated Yolo County community. A current rabies vaccine is also the first item on the vaccine list for any stay at Happy Paws, so dogs from here arrive with their usual vaccination paperwork.
Pets must be 16 weeks or older, and all breeds are welcome, neutered or intact. See vaccination requirements.
Whether you are away for a family trip or a long work stretch, your pet can stay in a run with its own bed, blankets and doggie door. Cats are $35 a night in a four-level tower. For stays of 14 nights or more, the reduced rate applies: $47 in Economy, $53 in Business Class and $65 in First Class on the 2026 rates.
All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.
