Park City, Utah, has always been renowned for its dog-friendly atmosphere, boasting numerous restaurants that welcome furry companions at their outdoor tables and vast trails and off-leash areas perfect for pups. However, for working pet parents or those in need of care when out of town, finding reliable dog care services becomes essential. I did an informal poll of my local Facebook friends and the following companies all received personal recommendations.
Park City Pet “Resorts”
Doginhaus
Doginhaus is known for its luxurious amenities and unwavering dedication to the well-being of every four-legged guest, from deluxe overnight boarding accommodations featuring cozy beds and personalized attention to stimulating daycare experiences. The outside play area is covered in artificial turf designed specifically for dogs. There are also dog walking and grooming options. Overnight options include studios and suites.
Fetch Park City
Located on 50 acres of dog-friendly terrain, Fetch offers a daily shuttle to and from its ranch. In addition to playing, hiking, and cuddling, Fetch offers full-service grooming onsite, training, concierge services, and partnerships with other professionals in Park City specializing in pet health and wellness. For overnight guests, kennel-free boarding is offered, or you have the option of one of their staff coming to your home.
Park City Dog Center
Park City Dog Center was founded by two locals with a combined 35 years of experience with dogs. Instead of offering a standard boarding option, they offer a variety of “retreats” designed specifically for your furry child. Need extra structure, playtime, or some training thrown in between? You are bound to find the right experience for your dog’s needs. We have been taking our dogs to Park City Dog Center for many years and I would be remiss without giving a shout-out to the owners for caring for our last dog just days before she passed away while we attended my daughter’s college graduation. They gave her the exact experience and personalized attention she required.
Premier Pet Lodge
Premier Pet Lodge is the newest offering and is already very popular with locals. Founded by an owner with a background in veterinary services, she takes pride in keeping the facility extra clean. They offer boarding, daycare, grooming, and training services. The staff are friendly, and their play yard is turf, so your furry buddy won’t be covered in mud at the end of a day of play. They will also transport your dog to their facility in Kamas.
Rover.com
Rover.com is an online platform connecting pet owners with trusted pet sitters, dog walkers, and other pet care providers. With a mission to make pet care accessible, convenient, and safe, Rover offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of pets and their owners. From in-home pet sitting and dog walking to overnight boarding and drop-in visits, Rover’s network of vetted caregivers provides personalized care for pets in a familiar environment. Rover.com was recommended by a client who has a senior dog and prefers in-home care for her boy.
Choosing the right dog care provider is crucial for ensuring your pet’s happiness and well-being while you’re away. I recommend you personally visit each location you are considering to ensure you like the staff and that the facility meets your pet’s needs. Remember, every dog is unique, so finding the perfect fit is essential. If there’s a favorite dog care provider you think should be included, feel free to reach out and let us know!
