I work from home in the digital marketing industry. I have had experience with in home potty messes and have cleaned them up with ease as well as teaching my friend’s dog tricks! I’m diligent and safety is first. I have successfully trained and taken care of my sisters dog, a high energy and extremely smart 2 year old Australian Shepherd named Coco! I love all dogs and am excited to meet yours!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in Medfield but I am often in Boston as well as the North Shore, happy to travel! I don’t board dogs at my home but am comfortable staying at yours or dropping by. I’m very calm and handle stressful situations with ease. I’ve walked multiple dogs at once and have successfully removed dogs from fighting or humping each other. 🙂‍↔️🫣 I also have experience with resource guarded dogs and follow instructions well.

Information Lori K. would like to know about your pet

They’re demeanor with other dogs and people. If they have resource guarding. Their energy level, If they get anxiety or sad in new places or with new people. If they like to be pet. Any food allergies. Special toys or treats they love.

A typical day

I love walks and have leash training techniques for excited dogs. I love playing catch with dogs, it brings back my softball days. If you’re in the city I love taking the dogs to castle island or M St beach. I don’t mind going on long walks if the dog has a lot of energy.

Lori was so great with my Rue! Rue is only 10 weeks and has a ton of energy and some naughty tendencies, but Lori was amazing and I SO appreciate the help. She was responsive and sent me pictures throughout the day so I knew Rue was in good hands. Would recommend Lori to anyone!

Lori was responsive, communicative and easy to work with. My dog Nala had a great time with Lori. Everything you want in a host- she is trustworthy and flexible about timing, and is a genuine animal lover and takes great pictures :) I would highly recommend Lori to watch your dog(s)!

I would recommend Lori to be A dog sitter for many reasons as she has been a wonderful example of someone who is thoroughly aware of the needs of the dogs she has watched over thus far. She's very responsible, attentive and is able to adjust to each dog"s Individual needs as every dog has various schedules, behaviors, personalities etc that a dog sitter must be able to pivot accordingly. Lori would be an excellent member of the rover community as she exhibits how much she shows compassion and love when taking care of animals.
