CruizinK9 | Why Us

What Our Customers Are Saying

Lori with Cruizin K9 is THE best! I have tried the traditional dog daycare for my girl, Jersey, but she is just so much happier to go on these hikes with Lori and a group of other dogs. She just adores Lori…. maybe more than she adores me??! Ha!

We also use their 'pit stop' service when a hike doesn't happen. I feel content while I'm at work knowing that Jersey is happy and well cared for.

Lori is professional and organized and I trust her completely with my girl. 💜

Our pup, Tucker, started with Cruizink9 in 2022, after we moved to Kamloops. We all had to adapt to our new home, and Tuck was no exception (he left behind his brother). He was super sad and it showed! Lori was determined to make things better, and in no time, Tucky found a new tribe and now has many friends he gets to see often. Lori is so genuine, and she truly cares about each of her "clients". Tucker definitely sees her place as his home away from home, and we're grateful to have her when we go out of town (as Tucky doesn't like to travel). Lori has been extremely accommodating and she's the first person I'd recommend for any fur baby.

We met with Lori of Cruizin K9 when Freya (our German shepherd) was just over a year old. This was an anxious age for her, and she had a lot of puppy energy, so exercise and socialization were very important to us. During our first meet and greet with Lori, Freya's nervousness caused her to bark quite a lot. I felt disappointed thinking she wouldn't fit in the group. Thank goodness Lori didn't give up and returned the next day and spent some one on one time with Freya. Since that day their relationship has blossomed. Lori is a truly a professional who is knowledgeable, caring and loves dogs. She ensures the dogs in each group get along and when out on a run sends us pictures of Freya and her furry friends having the time of their lives. If I mention Lori's name now, Freya becomes very excited and waits by the door or waits to see the van at the window. I trust Lori and Cruizin K9 with our girl and know Freya is always in good hands. A very happy client.

My dogs howl with delight every time Lori and Kristie come to the door to pick them up and I'm honestly not sure who seems happier about the walk between the dogs and the girls! I would highly recommend (and have many times to friends) Cruizin K9 as one of the best animal care service providers in town.

You won't find anyone better to help your dog(s) get through your long working days. While their service is exceptional when it comes to taking your dog(s) for hikes, they also go above and beyond whenever your puppies require it.
There was one time that the roads back to our place were closed so they couldn’t drop of our dog after their hike. No problem, Kristie said, they just took our dog back to her place for the afternoon. It’s such a relief knowing our dogs are in great hands.
With two black labs, they get into a lot of things, and more then once Lori and Kristie have attended to spontaneous upset tummies. Don’t look any further, Cruizin K9 will surpass your expectations.

Lori at Cruizin K9 has been looking after my two girls for about 3 years.
Both my girls are rescues and are very cautious of new people. Lori provides care that is second to none.
I don't always know my schedule and Lori is always there for me. I have never had anyone else take care of my girls and they love Lori as much as we do.
I would highly recommend Lori at Cruizin K9.

We have been using Cruizin K9 for dog-walking our adopted Shepherd since Fall 2016. Storm was a very energetic 14 month old rescue from the SPCA when we first started using Lori and despite very little history and some work on manners needed, Lori embraced him. His weekly “Lori Days” are the highlight of his week and when I start reminding him he starts getting super-excited.

Lori managed to align with the days that make the most sense to me (when I am out of the home working) and Storm is always clearly happily worn out when he gets back – just snores the rest of the day! Lori has access to the house to pick him and up and drop him home and always ensures our home is safely secured.

Really, I can't say enough good things about Lori. I pay through e-banking, she comes and picks him up, gives him a great run and everyone is happy. Super-simple, super-reliable.

And there can be no better testament from Storm than the fact that on several occasions he has clean refused to get out of the van when he gets back home. He loves his ‘Lori Days’!

I first met Lori at Cruizin K9 shortly after we brought home our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, Lenix. We were looking for a way to socialize our pup with other dogs and have her get a little bit of extra exercise on a weekly basis.

I immediately knew that I had found the right company, as Lenix flourished and has grown to be a well behaved dog in the past 2.5 years! Cruizin K9 is a very reliable company and the safety of the dogs is paramount.

There have been a few times when Lenix has been on restricted exercise, and each time we ask Lori to ensure she doesn’t rough with the other dogs, Lenix is kept on a leash to prevent further aggravation of the injury.

We value and appreciate the service that Cruizin K9 provides, as we feel that Lenix is a part of their family too!

Lisa & Ian Durack

We have been having Cruizin K9 walking our little dog two or more days a week since we moved to Kamloops over two years ago.

He loves his walks and looks forward to going every time. Lori and Kristie are awesome with him, and all of their doggy clients.

They are exceptionally dependable, caring and friendly. When our plans change there is never a problem with them adapting to our needs. We love that our little dog is so well cared for by these outstanding people. Five stars for Cruizin K9.

I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality care, socialization and exercise for their 4 legged family members.

Lori and Cruizin K9 have been a lifesaver!

When we moved to Westsyde last spring, we didn’t know anyone and needed to find a solution for our sweet Maggi on those days that everyone was at work or school.

After driving by the Cruizin K9 van for several days, I researched, read reviews and decided to give Lori a call. As soon as she walked in our door Maggi was in love!

The flexibly and professionalism that Lori shows is outstanding. She always goes above and beyond and treats Maggi like her own fur baby.

Thank you Lori and Cruizin K9!

Cruizin K9 have been taking our little girl Cloe on adventures for over 7 years. I think she was possibly the first client of Cruizin K9.

I will always remember the first time that Lori came to our house to take Cloe. Our shy little 6-month-old puppy ran to her and jumped into her arms and that’s when I knew we had made the right choice and am so thankful to have found her. The love and care that Lori and her crew with her has had a huge impact in ensuring that we have a happy and social little dog.

Cloe loves going with "the gang" in the van and the pictures that Cruizin K9 sends to us not only shows how much fun goes on, but it also gives me comfort in knowing that Cloe while I am at work, she is getting out with her friends and socializing (one of her favorite pastimes!). On occasion (more than a few), I have called Cruizin K9 at the last minute and Lori has always found a way to get out and take Cloe on a hike or pee break.

Good weather or bad, Cruizin K9 has always been here for us. I cannot imagine our lives without Lori, her crew and all of Cloe's hiking buddies.
