I love Lizzie's Dog Walkers!…read more Before I hired Lizzie and her team of dog walkers, I was very nervous; I had never before used a dog walking service. However, as my senior dog aged, I decided that it was time that she stretched her legs a bit during the day and have the opportunity to use the bathroom more often. The dog walking team is comprised of Lizzie, the owner, and her small team of dog walkers. They meet you and your pets at your home first, pick up keys, and go over any important information. They also leave a laminated informative sheet on which they leave notes about the day's walk, if they went poop or peed, if they got a treat, etc. They are also always reliable. I have been using this service for approximately 6 months and they have never once been late or had to cancel. Rates are very reasonable- it is about $17 for two dogs a day. They give them a full 20-30 minute walk, give them treats and fresh water, give meds if need be, etc. It is so easy to contact them with any questions or concerns; I don't know how they normally contact customers but I do most of my communicating with them through texts. They immediately respond to my questions, are always flexible, and if they have a question during the walk/day they don't hesitate to send me a quick text for clarification. I highly recommend Lizzie's Dog Walkers. Although the website isn't up and running, please don't let this deter you. Give Liz a ring and set up a meet and greet and give your dog a little extra exercise each week. You and your furry friend will be glad that you did!

Lizzie's Dogwalkers is the best!!…read more I was initially apprehensive about allowing strangers into my house, but after my first visit with Liz, I felt totally comfortable. She is professional, warm and most importantly, an obvious dog lover. Liz's team is responsible. I have been using her service for 2 years and she has never once cancelled or been late. I have never come home after their visit and found an extra light on, a dirty water bowl, or any other issue. Their prices are fair. They are flexible with schedule changes. They leave detailed notes or texts letting you know how the visit went. They leave little treats and gifts for the dogs at different holidays and organize play dates a couple times a year. One of our dogs was a rescue with abuse in his past. In the beginning, he would refuse to allow anyone else to leash him. She and her team were so patient with him. They worked tirelessly to build his trust so he could be walked with our other dog. I credit her and her dog walkers with a huge part of the turnaround in his behavior. They really went above and beyond. We have also used her team to stay at our house and dogsit overnight. Again, everything went perfectly. Liz is a small business owner who is doing everything right. I could not more highly recommend this service.

Our one year old American Staffordshire/Pitbull mix completed her first full day of "daycare"…read moretraining, a drop off program offered that provides training throughout the day. Our family is amazed at ONE day of training being so effective! As a puppy, she is rambunctious and full of energy, and as a breed she is stubborn and incredibly strong - we are very pleased with how one day of training has improved some basic skills such as sit, heel, stay, etc. while supporting basic skills like not jumping up. Looking forward to seeing her ongoing progress and working with the K9 Guardians team!

I have only used the boarding services with K9 Guardians twice and we won't be back…read more I honestly thought the first time was fine, I have two dogs a husky and German shepherd and I know they can be a lot to deal with at times being high energy working breeds. Yesterday was the second time I picked my dogs up after a 4 day stay. My husky had speckles of urine all over his white face and down his chest. My shepherds fur was all crusty on his stomach, as if he'd been lying in urine and had feces in the fur around his butt. They both stunk and felt grimy to the touch..these are show dogs and I am a professional groomer, meaning I normally bathe them every 2 weeks, so for them to come home like this after 4 days, I was disgusted. I check over both dogs once we were home and both had a dry nose and deeper red gums that were very dry, indicating dehydration. They went straight for the water and drank about a bowl each. They make you pay before getting your pet, if I would've seen them I wouldn't have paid for such poor service. This bordered on animal abuse and I won't be leaving my pets in their care, or lack there of, again! Just to note: Before my dogs stayed the first time I asked for a tour so they showed me the back kennel area and dog run section. The "day camp" dogs are in VERY small kennels (maybe 3x3 I'm not sure) and they keep their prong collars on them while kenneled. This to me is a safety hazard but I'm not certain if boarders are handled the same way. Boarders are in larger kennels I think 6x6 or 6x9 but the runs are just large enough for them to pee and move around some. Outside of that pets are not exercised, unless you pay an additional $50 a day for training... and thats supposed to be 15 minutes of training an hour....Not a walk or actually exercise activity

Not only was she open a little later to accommodate my schedule, but she had great rates and very sweet on the phone. The moment I walked into her business, my doggy and I were given a very warm welcome and definitely loved the vibe of her cute little business. I like that she gives you the option of picking out the types of products you want her to use on your dog and she carefully listens to how you want things done and if your dog had any special needs. I gave her 4 stars instead of 5 because she was unable to cut my dogs nails. Although my dog is quite sensitive with his paws and his claws have grown a while (he was a rescue) I was able to get them cut by a groomer at PetsMart. However, she didn't charge me the $50 she quoted, she charges me $40 which was still a great price. After all, I definitely recommend Shelly and I will definitely be going back. My dog came home looking like a million bucks, smelling good, and with an adorable bow and tie that Shelly handmade herself.
