When you call Dog Days Pools, you’re not reaching a national franchise or a call center. You’re reaching Larry — the owner, operator, and the person who shows up at your pool. For over 30 years, Larry has built a reputation in Clearwater and the surrounding communities for one thing: doing the job right, every single time. It’s why Dog Days Pools has held the #1 ranking in Clearwater and Safety Harbor for 6 consecutive years.
Larry answers calls at 8pm when your pool is overflowing (yes, that actually happened). He returns four times to adjust a pool cleaner and only charges once.
That’s not a policy — that’s just how Larry does things.
Dog Days Pools is an owner-operated company that believes you deserve more than “good enough.” Every pool is different, every customer is different, and we treat them that way. We don’t lock you into contracts. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. We assess your pool, find the most efficient and cost-effective solution, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we leave.
Over three decades in Clearwater’s heat, humidity, and subtropical weather have given us a level of local expertise that no chain or franchise can replicate. We know what Florida pools need — and when they need it.

Whether you need weekly maintenance, a one-time clean-up, or urgent repairs, Dog Days Pools is ready to help. Call, text, or fill out our quick form — and we’ll get back to you fast.

We noticed leaking around the filter and called Larry based on someone else's recommendation. Even though we hadn't used him before he managed to work us into his schedule the same day we called him. It didn't take him long to diagnose the problem and he was able to fix it on the spot. He also made sure we understood what the problem was and how to address it in the future. I was very impressed with how responsive and capable he was, and I will certainly use him again!![]()

Have used Dog Day pools for weekly maintenance for over a year but within the last 2 months our pool grew green algae . When tech came he did not brush steps walls or back wash filter. Just added chemicals and left. Spent only 5 mins at best doing pool care. When I conta ted Larry about algae he was rude and said we could swim in it anyway. He blamed pool condition on us. Saying we shut off pump and that we had a pool leak because chemicals were not working. So we went to another pool serv Now our pool is algae free after one week with another company.![]()

We have changed our monthly service for our pool to Dog Days Pool from another well known pool company about year ago. I have to acknowledge that the service they provide is an exceptional! Not even close to comparison to the prvious large company... We are so grateful to have Adam to service our pool weekly, and the effectiveness from his cares is amazing! He is the most sincere, polite and honest service man we ever had. Our pool has never suffered with green surface like we used to have previously. It is always sparkle clean!. The owner, Larry is very pleasant and always pick up his phone when we contact him. He goes extra Miles to please his customers. We had our vaccumer repaired once from them. The cost was just impossibly inexpensive and it has been vaccuming well since then. Adam is a hard worker and he once told me that he cleans every pool just as the same way as he does to his own.. Yes, he indeed does that! We are very fortunate to have Dog Days pool to service our pool. Thank you, Larry snd Adam!![]()

Our pool has never looked better! I would highly recommend this pool service, quality work and very fair pricing. I had a major company servicing our pool, and the pool never looked close to this good.![]()

As a brand-new pool owner, I honestly had no idea what I was doing. When my pool pump stopped working, I panicked—especially knowing the importance of keeping the water circulating. What felt like a huge problem to me had me scrambling for help. I reached out to Larry at Dog Days Pool Service in a bit of a frenzy, and he went above and beyond. Even though it was close to the end of the business day, he came out promptly and resolved the issue quickly and effortlessly. What truly stood out was his kindness and generosity—he didn’t even charge me because the fix was simple. But what he may not realize is how much that meant to me. As someone trying to learn and stay on top of pool maintenance, his help made a stressful situation feel manageable, and I’m incredibly grateful. Because of this experience, I will absolutely continue to use Dog Days Pool Service for all my pool needs. It’s rare to find service that is both skilled and genuinely caring. Thank you, Larry, and thank you Dog Days Pool Service!![]()

I had a great experience with Dog Days Pools. They went above and beyond and were very respectful, honest, and professional throughout the entire process. What stood out to me the most was that they did not try to rush the job or push unnecessary services. They took the time to explain what was going on with the pool, what needed to be done, and what could wait. Their communication was clear, their pricing felt fair, and I appreciated that they were upfront instead of surprising me with extra charges. They showed up, followed through, and handled everything with care. You can tell they have real experience and actually understand pool maintenance instead of just doing the bare minimum. I also appreciated how respectful they were around my home and property. They were patient, knowledgeable, and willing to answer questions, which made me feel comfortable trusting them with the pool. Based on my experience, Dog Days Pools is reliable, honest, and truly cares about doing the job right. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pool service company.![]()

Watch out, Unauthorized charge of credit card, skip weeks and lie about it. The worst pool service ever had.
Dog Days Pools has earned some of the most respected recognitions in the home services industry — not through advertising, but through consistent, outstanding work over two decades.







There’s no shortage of pool companies in Pinellas County. Here’s what sets Dog Days Pools apart from the national chains, the franchises, and the revolving-door services that never seem to send the same person twice:
Dog Days Pools is not a franchise. When you call, you reach Larry. When we come out, it’s Larry or a trusted member of his small team. You’ll never wonder who’s coming to your backyard because the answer is always someone you know and trust.
We earn your business every single week. Our month-to-month service plans mean you’re never locked in, never penalized for pausing service, and never stuck with a company that stops performing. Contracts protect the business — not the customer. We don’t need them because we do the work right.
Many pool companies quote a low service rate and then add chemical costs on top. With Dog Days Pools, chemicals are included in your monthly rate — always. No surprise invoices, no add-on charges, no confusion about what’s covered.
Unlike some services that expect you to have supplies on hand, Dog Days Pools arrive fully equipped. State-of-the-art cleaning tools, test kits, chemicals — everything needed to leave your pool in perfect condition, every visit.
Florida pools face unique challenges: intense UV exposure, heavy rain, high humidity, rapid algae growth, and year-round use. Three decades of working in this specific climate means we know exactly what your pool needs, before problems arise. We don’t learn on your pool — we’ve already seen it all.
High prices don’t guarantee great service — and we’ve proven that. Dog Days Pools delivers exceptional results at fair, honest rates. Our customers often tell us they came to us after getting burned by overpriced companies that underdeliver.
