Pet care experience

No such thing as too much dog!

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.

Very pleasant experience. I really appreciated Lorie’s updates and quick responses to my messages. She took very good care of Skipper.

My guy had such a good time with Lori and I didn't worry about him once. I'm so glad he had the privilege of her care this weekend! ❤️

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.

Pets

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.
