Please ask about small pet boarding [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Small pets have needs a dog or cat does not, so the best way to plan is a short phone call. Tell the staff which animal you have, what it eats and how long you will be away. ## Species we board - Rabbits - Guinea pigs - Gerbils and hamsters - Pet rats - Birds ## The cage The kennel may ask you to provide the cage. A familiar cage with familiar smells helps a small animal settle, so bring the one your pet lives in, cleaned before you arrive. Mark everything with your name. ## Food and routine Write down what your pet eats, how much and when. Bring enough for the whole stay plus extra. For rabbits, the House Rabbit Society describes a diet of about 80 percent hay, with vegetables and a small share of fruit as treats, so a rabbit's hay should be packed generously. Switching foods suddenly can upset a small animal's stomach. ## Before you call Have a few details ready: the species, how many animals, the dates, the food and any medication. Small animals do best with a routine, so write down feeding times and anything that tells you your pet is unwell. Bring your phone number and an emergency contact who is not traveling with you. ## Pricing and booking Small-pet boarding has no listed price on the 2026 rate sheet. Please ask by phone, then send a booking request or confirm with the staff. Tours run every day from 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM if you want to see the property first. ## Species pages Read more about [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/). ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels: things to know](https://happypawskennels.com/things-to-know/) - [House Rabbit Society: rabbit care](https://rabbit.org/care/) ### 2026 nightly rates - First Class kennel $72 - Business Class kennel $59 - Economy Class kennel $52 - Cat condo $35 All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.
