Orangevale is a suburb where 81 percent of the homes are single-family and 75 percent are owner-occupied. It is on the edge of our service range, and the 59-minute drive is best suited to longer stays.
The route runs I-80 west for 31.8 miles, a county road for 6 miles, Highway 113 for 4.1 and a short county road. Total 43.5 miles, 37.1 miles as the crow flies. The free-flow time is about 59 minutes, which is close to our limit for a convenient drive.
If you are weighing a nearer kennel, ask about a tour. Seeing the grounds is the easiest way to decide.

With 81 percent of homes single-family, many households have a yard. A First Class run holds two or three large dogs. Those sharing pay the lower sharing rate: $61 for each additional dog on the 2026 rates, against $72 for the first.

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.
