Presidents' Day weekend boarding
Presidents' Day is Monday, February 15, 2027, and Valentine's Day is the Sunday before, February 14. Happy Paws Kennels is open regular hours all four days, and no holiday deposit window is close.
February is the stretch between the winter holidays and Easter, with no closure days at the kennel. A getaway weekend here is a plain stay at the sheet rates.
The four-day calendar
| Day | Date | Kennel |
|---|---|---|
| Friday | Feb 12, 2027 | Regular hours |
| Saturday | Feb 13 | Regular hours |
| Sunday (Valentine's Day) | Feb 14 | Regular hours |
| Monday (Presidents' Day) | Feb 15 | Regular hours |
Why there is no deposit to plan for
The 2026 sheet asks for a 50 percent deposit only for stays beginning within seven days of a major holiday. Presidents' Day and Valentine's Day are not among the days the kennel closes for. The nearest closure day before is New Year's Day, and its window ended January 8; the nearest after is Easter, whose window starts March 21, 2027. A February stay sits in the clear between them. The sheet never names the major holidays, so call 707-678-6600 to confirm, or use the holiday deposit checker.
What a Presidents' Day stay costs
Take one dog from Friday, February 12 to Tuesday, February 16. That is four nights. In First Class on the 2026 rates it is 4 x $72 = $288. Business Class is 4 x $59 = $236, and Economy is 4 x $52 = $208. A cat condo is 4 x $35 = $140. Two dogs from one household sharing a kennel get the sharing rate on the second dog, listed on the rates page.
Valentine's weekend and the pet
Couples away for a romantic trip and families heading to the coast both book this week. If you want something to make the stay feel special for the dog, the 2026 extras include a Happy Pup Cup at $4.99 and a Happy Lick Mat at $4.99, and a Happy Pupsicle at $7.99. Ask at drop-off.
February weather in Dixon
NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for Vacaville, about 8 miles away, put February highs near 63 degrees and lows near 42, with about 5.14 inches of rain on average and rain on about 11 days. February can be wet, and the outdoor part of each run is open air with the indoor room a doggie door away, so a dog that wants to stay dry can. The dogs are walked as part of the stay.
Campus and commuter notes
UC Davis observes Presidents' Day, February 15, as a campus holiday, so Davis households get the same long weekend. The kennel is about 21 minutes from Davis. See Davis for the route, and MLK Day weekend if you also travel in January.

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.

This place is fantastic! I have one super easy going dog and one that is very much the opposite, she takes a long time to be comfortable with strangers and can be aggressive. I chose Happy Paws originally because the dogs can go in and out without having to be put on a leash. I am so happy I made that decision. Now my...
