Meet Lori Hill – Founder & CEO of Stow Road Pet Sitters
(Formerly a dog novice, now a devoted dog mom and pet care entrepreneur.)
Lori Hill didn’t grow up with dogs—but everything changed in 2019 when she met her now-husband, Chris, and his rescue pup, Harley. At the time, Harley, a spirited Blue Heeler/Pit Bull mix originally rescued from Georgia, had already made her mark as a lovable handful. Lori was instantly smitten. Despite being new to the dog world, she quickly bonded with Harley’s quirky personality, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
Falling in love with Harley didn’t just make Lori a lifelong dog lover—it was the spark that ultimately led her to build a business centered on pets and their people. Today, she talks about Harley every chance she gets and treats every pet in her care like part of the family.
Lori studied psychology at Framingham State University (then Framingham State College), graduating with honors in 2007. While she briefly pursued graduate studies in social work, her true calling would come later in life—and not the way she expected. It turns out, the universe had a plan. In 2022, Lori officially launched Stow Road Pet Sitters, combining her passion for animals with her background in behavior, empathy, and service.
A proud Marlborough resident, Lori is a mom of three and an active member of the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce and its Young Professionals Group. In 2024, she was honored as the Chamber’s Entrepreneur of the Year, a reflection of her commitment to local families and their pets.
Lori is part of the Mayor’s Marlborough Dog Park Advisory Committee, where she brings her knowledge of canine behavior and pet wellness to help ensure the space will be safe, inclusive, and fun for all.
At Stow Road Pet Sitters, Lori leads a passionate team that provides trusted, heart-centered care—because every pet deserves to be treated like Harley.

When you trust me with your furry friend, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved just like they would with you. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow their routine and shower them with kindness. Plus, one of my favorite things is to take pictures and videos of pets so you’ll get updates and photos so you never feel out of loop.”
