55Had an awesome time! The pool and yard were well kept. Pool was great for our dog learning to swim.
*you can sometimes hear dogs inside (we didn’t see them though) and potentially people walking around the fenced area with their dogs.Ricki B.

55Loved the spot! Easy access and everything was as described! The water was great and very clean. The location has beautiful views which we enjoyed when we booked the spot to celebrate our pups third birthday. Would LOVE to be back :) praj g.

55As always, so much fun. This place is so set up to make things as easy as possible for us as the guest using their facilities. The host and hostess are 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 so gracious and helpful to me, no matter my requests or needs. It’s my favorite spot available on this app for sure. I booked last night(very last minute) and a friend I invited joined myself and my 2 doggies as well. The host showed me how I could easily modify my reservation to include a third doggy via the app. No worries, so easy. Can’t say enough good things about every experience with these folks. And we have been here several times thus far. 𝒜𝓃𝒹 I got the bonus of seeing the sunset for the first time from this incredible location. Absolutely stunning.

55The yard and pool are both super clean. The pool has a different height steps throughout for all sizes of dogs and a step in the deep end so it’s easy to get out on both sides. Beautiful views while your dogs swim. Such a great spot if you have a dog that loves water. My spaniel had the best time. Jean T.

55Pool area super clean. Fun for dogs who love water. I would recommend a broom and clearing of small plastic debris. I picked up hazardous items like straws plastic caps on the ground. Nice place a little hard to find but owner found us:) we tried washing cement but frain was clogged. Nannette V.

55This was our dog’s first time swimming in a lake. Our German Shepherd loved it! He had so much fun swimming, fetching sticks, and running around. Our little Chihuahua also had a blast running around. The hosts were very kind. I definitely recommend visiting here and we will be back!Alex R.

55Jake the host was extremely nice and welcoming. He briefly showed us around before we let our dog out.
The lake was perfect. My German shepherd is a little reactive around other dogs so I wanted to take her and my girlfriend somewhere secluded where we can enjoy time with no worries. This was perfect. Pikachu (my dog) got in the lake and briefly doggy peddled for a bit. This was her first time in any type of water other than her showers. We will be coming back. Daniel M.

55Instructions were a bit confusing but that may have been user error on my part. Really nice open space for our dogs to romp and dip in the water and I loved bird watching :)
There are ticks and foxtails this time of year so just be mindful. You will also likely see other (friendly) dogs on the property as you head down to the gulch, but they’re within a fence and once you’re down at the gulch, you can’t see or hear any other dogs. katy j.

55Great, safe, water play area with large grass area for the zoomies. There are dogs on the property, looking out windows, so if you have a reactive dog, you'd want to manage that. We'll be back!Cate N.

55Great directions. Lots of space for dogs to feel free and even swim if they want to! Prepare for hiking terrain with proper shoes. We both had sandals which were fine, but might have preferred a little bit more cover in the footwear choice. Their other sniff spot looks really nice too with a little pool and an enclosed yard .Gina R.

55Shayla is a wonderful and communicative host. She let us extend our visit very last minute so we could enjoy the pool with our dogs a bit longer. This is our second time back and we will definitely be back again. It is a gorgeous and peaceful location. Extremely clean pool and backyard. It was a dream to host my dog’s birthday here, both pups left happy and tired🖤Karina E.

55This was such a great spot for our guy who loves to swim. We enjoyed the walk down to the lake and the shady grove by the water. The instructions for arrival and departure were clear and easy to follow. Thank you for opening your home to us. We’ll be back for sure. Kim W.

55Beautiful spot, Bolo had a blast celebrating his 3rd birthday here and we will definitely be back. We’d be here weekly if we lived closer! Everything was as the listing described so read it thoroughly to properly set your expectations. I’d also recommend that you take precautions for ticks during the summer (whether it be medicine, spray, oil, etc.) and also know there are fox tails in the field so if your pup is a long haired breed or tends to sniff fox tails be ready and vigilant. I would also recommend wearing thicker pants if you walk the trail around the lake to protect your legs from some of the brush that surrounds it. But these are precautions you’d have to take anywhere outdoors and not specific to this spot. Thank you Shayla!Mike C.

Frequently asked questions about Glen Ellen dog swimming pools
What amenities do Glen Ellen dog swimming pools typically include?
Glen Ellen dog swimming pools feature amenities designed for safe swimming: a dedicated dog pool, entry ramps or steps, and pool-side rest areas, secure fencing options, water stations, waste disposal, and often extras like toys, shade structures, or parking. Unlike public parks with generic setups, Glen Ellen hosts customize their spaces. Browse 11 listings to compare—from bare essentials to luxury amenities perfect for your dog's needs.
How much does it cost to use Glen Ellen dog swimming pools?

Members get discounted rates at participating Glen Ellen spots, and new users can start with a 7-day free trial. There are no surprise booking fee. Your credits cover the reservation. Browse Glen Ellen dog swimming pools listings to see individual spot pricing, and check your membership dashboard to see how many credits you have available.
How clean are private dog swimming pools in Glen Ellen compared to public parks?
Significantly cleaner. Public dog parks in Glen Ellen see dozens of dogs daily with sporadic city maintenance. Private dog swimming pools have dedicated hosts who maintain their own spaces—cleanliness directly affects their reviews and bookings. Many Glen Ellen hosts provide fresh poop bags, sanitized water stations, and regular grounds cleaning. With only one booking at a time, waste accumulation is minimal.
Can I book Glen Ellen dog swimming pools on short notice?
Usually yes! Many Glen Ellen dog swimming pools offer same-day or next-day availability with instant booking. Unlike public parks that might be crowded unpredictably, Glen Ellen private dog swimming pools let you reserve exactly when needed: early morning before work, midday breaks, evening exercise. Real-time availability shows on each listing—perfect for last-minute training or when routines get disrupted.
What's the best time to visit dog swimming pools in Glen Ellen?
Any time works since bookings are private! Unlike public dog parks in Glen Ellen that are crowded during peak hours (mornings, evenings, weekends), you don't worry about timing. Book when it fits YOUR schedule—midday when it's quiet, dawn for cool weather, late evening for convenience. Many Glen Ellen dog swimming pools have lighting for after-dark visits. This flexibility is perfect for shift workers or dogs with special needs.
Do Glen Ellen dog swimming pools allow multiple dogs?
Yes! Most Glen Ellen dog swimming pools welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings), but generally you can bring your whole pack. This is perfect for multi-dog households in Glen Ellen where some dogs are selective—they can play together privately without outside interference. Great for sibling bonding or families with mixed ages/temperaments.
Can I use Glen Ellen dog swimming pools for special events?
Many Glen Ellen dog swimming pools welcome doggy birthday parties, training workshops, breed meetups, or group playdates. Private bookings mean your event won't be interrupted. Coordinate with Glen Ellen hosts about capacity, amenities (parking, shade, water), and any restrictions. Some even provide party extras. Check individual Glen Ellen dog swimming pool listings for event policies.
How do Glen Ellen dog swimming pools accommodate dogs with special needs?
Glen Ellen dog swimming pools are excellent for special needs dogs because you can filter for specific requirements: flat terrain for mobility issues, secure fencing for blind/deaf dogs, quiet locations for anxious dogs, small spaces for seniors, or maximum privacy for reactive dogs. Read reviews from other Glen Ellen special-needs dog owners, and contact hosts with questions. The private setting means you can adapt the experience to your dog's unique requirements.
