Loving to make a fuss when you call on (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adoring

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'loving' is the definition.
(adore means to love or be very fond of)

'make a fuss when you call on' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'make' could be 'do' (do can mean to make or prepare) and 'do' is found within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'call' could be 'ring' (telephone call) and 'ring' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adoring that I've seen before include "Being very fond of" , "Showing great affection" , "Loving deeply" , "Greatly loving" , "Loving, worshipping" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
