Safety, trust & environment

I have crates if needed, dog beds, and bowls of varying sizes at my home; I only need you to bring your dog’s food and any special items like supplements or a special lovey that you’d like them to have. My yard is not fenced, so I ALWAYS use leashes and/or harnesses, no matter what. I live on a quiet, safe street in a neighborhood with a lot of walkers and bicyclers.

Information Lorie A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your preference regarding crating, what your dog’s normal sleeping arrangements are, whether your dog has any food allergies or sensitivities (or dislikes), and whether you are ok with a little people food as a treat now and then!

A typical day

I have a variety of different types of toys for playtime, and I also have a large backyard that dogs love to explore. When I leave the house, I play soothing music for the dogs, and at bedtime we have an ambient light and sound machine to calm everyone down and get them ready for sleeping.

Pet care experience

I’m Lorie, a former doggie foster mom who ended up adopting and raising 3 wonderful dogs, all of whom are now angel pets. I currently have a 17 y/o cat who is used to being around dogs. I have been dog sitting on Rover since spring 2023. I have a real heart for animals, and in my care your dog will be treated exactly the way mine were—like family. I have been a homeowner in the Bellevue area for 25 years, and am also a small business owner in the community. I live within walking distance of the Harpeth River Greenway and can take long walks with the dogs on nice days. Alternatively, I live on a quiet corner with a dead-end street on one side that is a great place to walk as well.

Lorie provided excellent care of our senior dog. She was very easy to communicate with and we will certainly be calling on her again to help next time.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
