Private Pool Rental Rates and Fees
1 hour $40
Only 3 dogs on the dock at once due to the ramp weight limits.
Assistance fees:
ALL first time clients need to add the assistance. If you show up and I can see right away you need no help, I will gladly refund your $20. Too many clients make mistakes that negatively effect their dog, especially first time swimmers.
If you need assistance in any way while renting the pool there is a $20 fee. This is built into the scheduler as an option when you book your pool time.
Assistance can be training your future dock diver, helping a puppy learn how to swim, overcoming fear of water for an adult dog...etc.
Pool and Property Rules: Failure to follow the rules can result in denial of future use.
We try and stay pretty relaxed on the property, but there are a few rules we ask you abide to:
- Park on rock only, no grass parking.
- DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY, you may be asked to return no more than 5min prior to your scheduled time.
- You must be off the dock when your time is up.
- Uncontrollable/excessive barking is not allowed.
- Please pick up your dogs' poop. If you do not have poop bags, it's ok, we have plenty to help you out.
- If your dog is an excited pooper (yes, this happens OFTEN), please take them off the dock after ~10min and give them a quick break.
Pool Cancellation Policy
Weather is uncontrollable and no client will financially suffer from a loss of pool time due to weather.
It is the clients responsibility to monitor the weather closely if rain is in the forecast. Many of times a client has cancelled because it was raining at their house but the pool never saw a drop of rain. This is a loss of session with NO REFUND.
If you are reading this, you can also look at the radar and see if it's raining.
Other than weather, any cancellation within 48hrs of your pool time will not receive a refund.
