55Good place for more than one dog. Lots of toys
55My pups had SO much fun! she had snacks and drinks for the humans too which I thought was so sweet! it was a bit muddy but that’s to be expected from the water. My Pom also got out from under the fence but she’s not a runner so she came right back but just keep that in mind if you have a small pup! overall GREAT experience :)
35When we arrived the gate was damaged and unable to shut all the way. Since I have an escape artist we weren’t able to use the spot. We walked around the yard and it could be a great spot, although it is pretty cluttered with stuff, so if you prefer a clear open space it may not be your favorite. There is also a low fence added near the driveway because cars come and go through the large gate, just an fyi if your dog is reactive or a jumper. I did give it 3 stars because the host answered me within 15 minutes and refunded our visit. But very disappointing because it was my dogs birthday and was supposed to be his first swim since he was attacked by a dog a few weeks ago.
55My dogs had fun! Couldn’t keep my rottie out of the pool 🤣
55The host was very communicative and helpful the whole time! Lots of room for the dogs to do zoomies. We’ll be back again once it’s more dry outside! :) I would’ve done 4 stars because there was trash around the pool area and the entry gate didn’t latch, BUT the owner let us know they had tenants in the home so those could be unusual circumstances.
55Great swimming and outdoor spot! Rufus had a blast. There were alot of toys and treats out for the pups as well. You can tell it’s a “dog lover” home. Thank you guys for opening your place to Rufus and us! We’ll be back!
55Great place to take our pups to!
55Great pool set up for the dogs. Will visit again.
55Great spot. Clean and plenty of room, my pup loved the pool.
55Loved this space. There is a pool which my Border Collie and room to play fetch. Shady and sunny spaces. My dogs had a lovely time.

I am a huge dog lover. I grew up with dogs, have hosted rescues, and have experience with all types of breeds and sizes. In addition to a doggie host, I'm also an AirBNB superhost, and enjoy hosting you and your dog's fun adventure day! I understand that every pup is different, but ALL pups deserve a place to play and be loved. Because of all the unknowns at dog parks and the pawsome feeling of seeing dogs enjoy my space, I am so happy to share my amenity-filled backyard with pups and their "furbulous" humans. I hope you enjoy your visit at Paws and Swim!
