West Sacramento sits just across the river from downtown, and for its residents the kennel is a straight shot west on the freeway, closer than its map distance from Sacramento suggests.

The route from West Sacramento
The drive starts on Industrial Boulevard, Lake Washington Boulevard or Thorp Road, depending on where you live, and joins Interstate 80 for 15.7 miles, US 50 for about a mile and Highway 113 for 4.1, then ends on country road. It is 37 minutes without traffic.
Most of the delay risk is inside the first ten minutes, on the bridges and the Interstate 80 and US 50 interchange. Leaving by 10 AM for the morning window keeps the trip simple.
A growing river city
West Sacramento has about 54,900 residents in about 19,400 households. About 37 percent of households have children and about 60 percent own their home. National AVMA ownership shares suggest about 8,800 dog households and 6,200 cat households, an estimate rather than a pet count.
The mix of apartment, townhouse and single-family homes means a lot of cats and small dogs. The small dog page explains how Economy runs (4x4 ft inside, $52 a night) work for them.
Parks and county services
West Sacramento is in Yolo County, and its dogs need a current rabies vaccine and a local license.
The same rabies certificate is the first record the kennel asks for.
Day care and short trips
West Sacramento dogs can also come for a day: dog day care is $38 a day or $7 an hour up to $38. The dog day care page has the details. Cats stay in four-level towers at $35 a night.
Vaccines and paperwork
Dogs need rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella and canine influenza; cats need rabies and FVRCP. Upload records to your ProPetware account or bring them. Records must stay current through the last day of the stay, and pets need to be 16 weeks or older. Arrive flea and tick free, because otherwise a bath at the owner's cost is added.
Booking is a request that the kennel confirms; it is not instant. Call 707-678-6600 with any questions about timing or holidays.

What pet owners say
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.
I love their great caring team. Highly recommended.
