Additional rules

Elysian Paws Retreat Rules 🐾 Leashed Dogs Only: For the safety of all guests, dogs must remain on a leash at all times. This helps ensure control around open areas, especially near the pond. Vaccinations Required: All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies, distemper, and bordetella. This keeps our retreat safe and healthy for everyone. Friendly Dogs Only: Please only bring dogs that are friendly with other dogs and people. If your dog has any aggression issues, this might not be the best spot for them. Pick Up After Your Pup: Owners must clean up after their dogs. Waste bags and disposal bins are provided throughout the property to keep the area clean for everyone. Supervision Required: Keep a close eye on your dog at all times, especially near the pond and nature trails. While the area is safe, supervision helps prevent any unexpected situations. One Dog Per Handler: To maintain control, we recommend only one dog per handler unless dogs are used to being walked together. No Digging: To keep the grounds beautiful for all, please discourage your dog from digging. Notify the host immediately if any digging occurs. Swim at Your Own Risk: If your pup is using the pond, please be mindful of their swimming abilities. Life vests for dogs are recommended, and owners must be near their dogs while swimming. Respect Nature: Stay on marked paths and avoid disturbing any wildlife or plants. This ensures the retreat remains a serene place for everyone. Leave No Trace: Take all personal items and trash with you when you leave to help us maintain the beautiful, natural environment. Booking Time: Please respect your booking time.

Kernersville Doggy Pool Paradise

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Welcome to Doggy Pool Paradise! 🐶💦 The spot was started in honor of my sweet Bailey who passed away Easter weekend 2025 only 1 month shy of her 12th birthday. 💔 She was my soul dog and the primary reason I bought a house with a pool. Now I just want to see other dogs using it and having fun. 🐾🥰 We are open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm weather permitting. Private saltwater pool. Dogs are allowed to jump in but must use steps or ramp to get out. DID YOU KNOW: Swimming in natural bodies of water (lakes, rivers, oceans) poses risks of infection from waterborne bacteria/parasites (e.g., E. coli, Giardia), skin irritation, and physical dangers like strong currents, drop-offs, and submerged debris. Heavy rain increases contamination risks, while warm, still water can harbor dangerous organisms. Not to mention critters you can't see in & around the water. This is a completely privacy fenced area with deck, patio, sunroom and an 18x36 in-ground saltwater pool. You & your dog can swim safely and securely in the pool Kiddie pool is also available for dogs who are unsure about the "Big" pool - set up, fresh water, and cleaning afterwards for a small extra fee. Choose this in the Extras section. Doggy life jackets in Small, Medium, Large, and XL are provided. Plenty of seating and shade available. Mini fridge with cold bottled water for only $1 each located in the sunroom (choose this in the Extras section). Fun Dog water toys, dog towels, dog pool floats, water bowls and pool ramp available to use at no extra charge. Please bring your own sunscreen. NOTE: Sorry, no bathroom is available for humans as I may not always be home... Dogs MUST be current on Rabies vaccine and be on some sort of flea & tick preventative!! Proof of this is required to be sent to me before your visit!! Screenshots are accepted. Poop bags & clean-up station provided near the gated entrance. All owners must pick up after their dogs in and out of the pool area!! Violators will not be allowed to return. There are security cameras on the premises. Max of two people (adults) per dog unless otherwise arranged with Host. Unfortunately, NO children under the age of 16 permitted IN the pool due to liability reasons! NO EXCEPTIONS! If you are bringing a child with you, they must sit on the side of the pool or in a chair and watch the dogs swim. They are NOT allowed in the pool under any circumstances!! If You are bringing more than one dog, they must already know each other and get along!You must also choose this in the extras section and pay the appropriate fees ahead of time. It is highly recommended that you brush your dog before your visit. If excessive fur in the filter becomes a problem then this sniff spot will unfortunately no longer be available. Help keep it clean for everyone.
