This week we are sharing where to stay with your puppy in Park City and February's home sales.
Where do you stay in Park City if you want to bring fido on your vacation, Park City Magazine shares - 7 Dog Friendly Hotels in Park City. Rover isn’t just a dog, he’s part of the family. And you need a place to stay that doesn’t require sneaking your pup in the back door. Thankfully, these Park City hotels welcome your furry kid the way they would your bio kids, with a warm smile, treats, and the occasional pat on the head. When it’s time to paw it out of the hotel, introduce your pooch to “Bark” City’s dog-friendly trails. Basin Recreation grooms 25 kilometers, connecting Utah Olympic Park and Willow Creek Park. Round Valley has off-leash hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing trails, plus a dog park (there’s one at Willow Creek, too). And be sure to check out Rob’s or Daly Canyon trails.

On the topic of moving, Realtor Magazine shares What to Do Before the Movers Show Up. Homeowners still need to prep the house for the moving company before they arrive to pack them up. Realtor.com® recently highlighted several of the items homeowners should do before the moving company arrives, including:
Protect your floors - To help avoid damage to the house, remove anything fragile that could be in the path as furniture and boxes get moved. Notify the movers about any hardwood flooring. “If you have hardwood floors or tile in any rooms, let your movers know ahead of time so they can prepare the right materials—and make sure your contract includes hardwood floor protection,” Miranda Benson, marketing coordinator at Dolly, a San Francisco–based moving company, told realtor.com®.
Make a clear path - Make the movers’ job easier and think ahead to a variety of potential obstacles on moving day. For example, consider the parking situation outside your home. Where can the movers leave their truck when packing up? You may even need the local city government to get involved to get appropriate signage and allowances. Also, ensure that access points of the home are clear of any debris.
Be available - don't hover, but be readily available to answer any questions. Alert the movers to anything special they should know that could impact how they move out your furniture and boxes. “There are little things about your house that you only learn from living there: The hallway closet door never stays closed, the third step down has a slight bend, a pack of hornets tends to congregate around the back door, so use the front—these are all valuable things that make your movers’ lives easier,” Benson told realtor.com®. “On top of that, being available to answer questions, whether that’s in person or via phone, can make your move much smoother.”
