Why I started Fall City Dog Boarding

I’ve lived in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley for over ten years. When I settled here, I knew that someday I wanted to create a space where dogs could have fun and experience a bit of rural life. I’ve always enjoyed the special bond of taking my dogs on trail walks, how exercise and nature are so good for us all.

I also know how hard it is to leave your pets when you need to be away, and how important it is to find the right environment with kind and caring people you can trust.

Fall City Dog Boarding is small by design: quiet, attentive, and centered around each dog’s unique personality and needs.

I believe dogs are remarkable companions with huge, trusting hearts. It’s a privilege to share space with them and to be part of their lives.

“I was a groomer in Seattle for over 30 years and have known Lori almost 20 years and groomed 5 of her dogs. I have found her to be one of the most responsible, reliable, and loving dog owners I know. I would trust her with my dogs and man, that is saying something!”

“I’d highly recommend Lori to watch your family member. I’ve never met anyone more loving and caring toward animals.”
