No such thing as too much dog!
Pet care experience
I’m Lorie, a former doggie foster who is now mom to a very adored dog, Basia, a Norwegian elkhound; and two beautiful cats, Daisy and Koi. I have also raised two other dogs and two other cats, all of whom are now angel pets. My daughter and I fostered dogs for Critter Cavalry Pet Rescue for about 3-4 years, and I have been dog sitting on Rover since spring 2023. I have a real heart for animals, and in my care your pets will be treated exactly the way mine are—like family. I have been a homeowner in the Bellevue area for 23 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.
Reviews
Lorie was great. She loved Queenie and all went great
Great communication, no problems.
Lorie is the best! Our dog loves her, gets so excited when we pull in. She gives him so much love, lives in a very dog friendly house and has many places for him to snuggle up. Lorie sends daily photos and updates and is very responsive.
Lorie was awesome with Coopy and kept me updated everyday!

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.
Home
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.

Availability
I often work from home, and on the days I work away from home, I'm typically only out for a few hours at a time.
