Yolo is a very small community in the 95695 and 95697 ZIP codes, with about 200 households, all renters. The Census data here describe a young population, and the page treats the numbers cautiously because of the small size.
Quick facts
- About 25.9 miles and 34 minutes
- Highway 113 for 16.6 miles
- 201 households, all renting
- 80 percent of households have children
Highway 113 most of the way
The routing runs 16.6 miles on Highway 113, 4.5 on I-5 and 3.6 on I-80, for 25.9 miles in total against 22.4 miles in a straight line. Free-flow time is about 34 minutes. Apart from the Midway Road turn, there are no local streets to plan around.
Drop-off and pick-up run every day from 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM.
Cautious numbers for a tiny place
The Census counts about 800 people in 201 households, all renter-occupied. Median gross rent is $1,803. The median year built is 1980.
AVMA shares imply about 90 dog homes and 60 cat homes. In a place this small those estimates carry a wide margin of error.
A family-sized budget
For households watching costs, the Economy run at $52 a night is built for small and medium dogs, or a pair that fit together. Two dogs sharing an Economy run cost $52 plus $44. A week for two sharing dogs is 7 x $96 = $672 on the 2026 rates.

What pet owners say
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...
