doters
Overly fond ones
Doters are people who dote—who lavish excessive attention or affection on someone or something.
The word usually describes those who spoil children or grandchildren with indulgent love: The baby had no shortage of doters.
Doters may also obsess over pets, hobbies, or celebrities.
