Fan-Favorite Pool Sharing Platform Is Giving Dogs the Ultimate Summer Upgrade with Private Pool Days originally appeared on PetHelpful. If your dog's summer plans involve panting dramatically in front of a box fan, it might be time to level up their cool-down game. Swimply, which is like the Airbnb of swimming pools, just launched a brand-new Pet Swim category, and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like: private pools you can rent just for your dog. That's right. Your furry best friend can now live their best life doing Olympic-level doggy paddles in a backyard oasis, no public pool chaos or muddy lakes required. This new category from Swimply, the wildly popular pool-sharing platform, is now live across all of Swimply's operating regions in the United States, Canada, and Australia, and it's already making waves. Here's how it works: just hop on Swimply, search for pools near you, filter for pet-friendly pools and browse through a collection of pools where pups are not only welcome—they're the guests of honor. Some amazing hosts even offer pup-approved perks like shallow ledges, grassy relief areas, floaties, and doggy clean-up stations. Some listings include treats or water toys (and we wouldn't be shocked if there's a dog-sized chaise lounge or two). 🐾 SIGN UP to get "pawsitivity" delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends along with expert advice from veterinarians and pet trainers 🐾 For pet parents, this is a major win-win. Your dog gets the zoomies out in a clean, private pool while you get to avoid the post-park mud bath. No more crossing your fingers that the off-leash area won't turn into a splash pad. And if you're worried about tracking wet paws all over your backseat, some Swimply hosts even provide outdoor rinsing stations or towels. It's giving spa day. It's giving Bark new feature is also ideal for pet parents of reactive or shy dogs who don't always get along with other animals. With Swimply, they can play in private without worrying about unwelcome encounters with other canines (or strangers). And while this may sound indulgent, Swimply says it's part of a broader push to make shared spaces more inclusive—not just for humans, but for the four-legged family members who also deserve a little summer fun. It's also a clever solution for dogs who can't safely run in the heat or are recovering from injuries. Hydrotherapy is great for dogs with aches and pains! Prices vary by location, but a private pool session for your pup often starts around $15 to $30 per hour. If your dog could talk, they'd already be booking. So whether your pup is more of a cannonball king or a wader-in-the-shallows type, there's now a pool with their name on it. Just don't forget the snacks (for both of you).Fan-Favorite Pool Sharing Platform Is Giving Dogs the Ultimate Summer Upgrade with Private Pool Days first appeared on PetHelpful on Jun 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by PetHelpful on Jun 17, 2025, where it first appeared.
