Drive time is free-flow and runs slow on Midway Road; allow extra time. Natomas is a big, fast-growing part of Sacramento, and the drive west on I-80 is a straight shot. This page uses Census numbers for the three Natomas ZIP codes so you can see what the trip looks like from your part of the neighborhood. ## Quick facts - 95833 ZIP: about 25 miles and 33 minutes - 95834 ZIP: about 27 miles and 36 minutes - 95835 ZIP: about 29 miles and 39 minutes - Tours every day, 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, no appointment ## The drive from each Natomas ZIP The Census counts about 120,500 people and 43,900 households across the 95833, 95834 and 95835 ZIP codes. Free-flow drive times to 6677 Midway Road differ by a few minutes depending on where you start: about 33 minutes from 95833 (25.1 miles), about 36 minutes from 95834 (26.9 miles), and about 39 minutes from 95835 (29.2 miles). Every route uses I-80 west and Highway 113 south toward Dixon; the 95835 route also touches I-5. Those are free-flow times with no traffic, and Midway is a slow country road, so give yourself a margin on the morning you want to be here before the 11:30 AM check-out. ## How many Natomas homes have pets Applying national AVMA ownership shares to Natomas households gives an estimate of roughly 19,900 homes with a dog and 14,100 with a cat. That is a model, not a head count, and it is an estimate only. Median household income runs from about $97,800 in the 95833 ZIP to about $114,500 in 95835, and owner-occupied homes range from about 51 percent to 70 percent depending on the ZIP. Newer houses with small yards are common, with a median build year of 2005 in two of the three ZIPs. ## Why Natomas owners make the trip Our dogs get a heated or air-conditioned run with a doggie door, so each dog picks inside or outside, plus a large fenced play area and a grass field on about ten acres. That is a different setting from a suburban kennel. Cats have their own four-level towers with a litter box and blanket each. Two dogs from the same home can share one run, and the second dog is billed at the lower sharing rate. ## Planning a Natomas drop-off Drop-off and pick-up run 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM every day, closed 11:30 to 2:00. An afternoon pick-up is half the nightly fee. A morning drop-off on the day before a flight from Sacramento International, or an afternoon pick-up on the way back. For stays that begin within 7 days of a major holiday, a 50 percent non-refundable deposit applies 30 days before drop-off. Please call to confirm dates.

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.
