What to ask and bring when a small pet needs a place to stay.
Which animals
Which small pets can stay?
Rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs and birds.
Where do I find details for my pet?
The small pet pages cover rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils, and rats. Call with your pet's species and dates.
Cages and supplies
Do I bring the cage?
The kennel may ask you to provide the cage, so ask when you book.
What else should I pack?
Your pet's own food in its original bag, bedding and any medication with written instructions, with everything marked with your name.
Can I bring a favorite hideout or toy?
Yes, within reason. Toys can be lost or damaged, so choose one that is easy to replace.
Price and booking
How much does small pet boarding cost?
Please ask. There is no printed price on the 2026 rate sheet, and the kennel quotes by species and length of stay.
How do I reserve?
Call 707-678-6600 or send a booking request through your online account. The kennel confirms every reservation.
Is a boarding agreement needed?
Yes, once. Pet information goes on the agreement, including feeding amounts and any health conditions.
Hours
When can I drop off a small pet?
Every day from 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM, closed on a few holidays.
When must I pick up?
Check-out is by 11:30 AM. Afternoon pick-ups are charged half of the nightly fee.
Can I tour before I leave my pet?
Yes. Tours run every day from 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM with no appointment, and a staff member walks with you.
What should I tell the kennel when I call?
Your pet's species, how many animals, your dates, and whether you will bring the cage. Ask about the price for your stay at the same time.
Is there a holiday deposit for a small pet?
The deposit applies to reservations that begin in the holiday windows. Please call to confirm for your pet and dates.
