# Do you board rabbits and birds?

Yes. Happy Paws boards rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and rats, and cats and dogs. There is no printed rate, so please call 707-678-6600.

Small pet stays are quoted by phone.

## Which pets

Rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs and birds are all welcome. Each has its own page: [rabbits](https://happypawskennels.com/small-animal-boarding/rabbits/), [birds](https://happypawskennels.com/small-animal-boarding/birds/), [guinea pigs](https://happypawskennels.com/small-animal-boarding/guinea-pigs/), [hamsters and gerbils](https://happypawskennels.com/small-animal-boarding/hamsters-and-gerbils/) and [pet rats](https://happypawskennels.com/small-animal-boarding/rats/).

## Price and booking

The 2026 rate sheet asks you to call about small pet boarding, so there is no list price. Describe your pet when you phone and the kennel will tell you the rate and how to book.

## The cage

The kennel may ask you to provide your pet's cage. That keeps a familiar home around your pet. The [cage question](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/do-i-bring-the-cage-for-a-small-pet/) explains more.

## Before you go

Call as early as you can, especially around holidays. Reservations are requests the kennel confirms, so ask about food, daily routine and when to drop off. The [small pet packing guide](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/small-pets/what-to-pack-for-small-pet-boarding/) helps with the list.

## What to ask on the phone

Tell the kennel the species, how many animals, the cage size, the food your pet eats and the dates. Ask the nightly price, when to drop off and whether anything else is needed at the first visit. A small animal has its own feeding routine, and staff plan around it once they know it.

## Medicine and diets

The kennel does not charge extra for special feedings or for giving medications, so list both when you book. Put feeding amounts in clear units, such as cups, teaspoons or tablespoons, the way the kennel asks for dogs and cats.

## Cats and dogs at home too

If you also board a dog or cat, one booking can cover them. See the [dog boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/dog-boarding/) and [cat boarding](https://happypawskennels.com/cat-boarding/) pages for the 2026 rates.
