How to Book a Private Dog Swim Near You

Bailey's version of heaven? A private pool, a floatie, and no lifeguard whistle in sight.

Let’s be honest—summer in the city hits different when you’ve got a Bernedoodle with a full coat of curls and a craving for cool-downs. The public dog run? Toasty. The splash pad? Questionable. But a private pool ~1 hour away? Now that’s the energy we’re channeling this season.

We recently discovered Swimply—aka the Airbnb of pools—and it’s been a total game-changer for our summer adventures. It’s an app that lets you browse and rent private pools in your area by the hour. Some are super chic, some are backyard casual, and a bunch are dog-friendly (just check the listing filters!). You can even filter by amenities like bathrooms, grills, shaded lounges, and yes—pet access.

We booked one last weekend in Brooklyn, and let’s just say:
🌊 Beso did her signature cannonball
💦 Bailey stayed on dry land with a mocktail and watched
📸 And our camera roll has never looked cuter

Things We Love About It:
– You can find pools as close as a 10-minute walk away
– No annual fees or memberships
– A lot of hosts are dog lovers themselves (shoutout to Julie in Fort Greene!)
– You can book same-day when the heat wave hits and you need a plan fast

Tips for Booking with Your Pup:
🐾 Always message the host first to confirm dog-friendly rules
🐾 Bring your own towels, poop bags, and fresh water for your pup
🐾 Dry off before getting in an Uber home—trust us on this one

Whether you’re looking for a quick dip, a cute content shoot, or a full-on pawty with your pup, Swimply’s a fun way to make a splash—without needing to know someone with a Hamptons house.
