Loving, and personalized care
Pet care experience
We love all dogs and personalities 💜 I have been a dog lover all my life. I have raised my own poodle, from puppyhood and now in his senior years, 14 so far! Pet care takes time, attention and above all love. (My poodle (Bu) currently lives with my parents back home, so he’s not at my home here in Norwood.) We strive to give the dog’s family the trust they need to rest assured that their loved one 🐕 will be receiving the love, attention and care they deserve and have at their own home. We love going on long walks in the afternoon, and are early risers in the morning (5-6 am), so we can provide walks every hour if needed. We live in a large apartment complex that has vast green space and forest, for all the bathroom needs, and in the afternoon we like going to parks. On the first days we like to make sure the dog feels comfortable and at ease, offering him space on the bed and giving the time and space needed for them to settle in. Bart and I have grown up with dogs and truly have a deep love for them, it is an honor to have them with us and we are always excited to get to meet them! Regarding food and specific needs, we respect and follow instructions to the T. As a senior dog sister myself, I know how important it is to guide them and make sure they get all their care and needs met. We also understand how important it is that the family feels close so we send daily pictures and videos, and offer facetiming if wanted. We also love cats and grew up with them in our households, we provide a safe and comforting environment so they have their space and needs met 💜🐈
Reviews
Flor and Bart were amazing with my pup Remy! Remy is really scared of strangers and can get very anxious. Even though we did a meet and greet the day before he gave them a hard time at pickup. Flor and Bart were extremely patient with him and he eventually went with them! They sent me pictures and videos every other day which I highly appreciated! Will definitely rebook whenever we need! Thank you so much! 🩵
Florencia & Bartolome L. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Very happy with Florencia and Bartolome’s boarding service provided for my almost 1 year old puppy. They provided friendly, prompt and clear communication, sent pictures and updates, and I could tell when I picked my pup up that she was well cared for. Highly recommend!
Kind, responsive, responsible and competent. I'm grateful for their help and would recommend to others. Very dog friendly area, too.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious apartment with a large living room and terrace, and live in a condominium with alot of green space and garden area around to walk as much as needed. We are always careful with any possible hazards, as a senior dog sister myself I am always on top and careful to make sure they are safe at all times.
Home
Information Florencia & Bartolome L. would like to know about your pet
Knowing about their food schedules, preferences with sleeping areas, some personal boundaries the dog might have (for example, not liking a certain sound, etc), personality and what the dog’s family would like to expect from us as well. It’s important to know if our guest has his flea/tick medication up to date to prevent and be aware of woody areas, etc. We appreciate confirmation at least a few days within being contacted or to be communicated with an approximate time frame for confirmation, we block out dates for possible bookings and give priority to who reached out first so that we can plan ahead for our guests
A typical day
I love making dogs feel like they are at home and well attended. First thing in the morning is a nice walk to stretch, depending on the dog’s mood we can play around a little bit with a toy or just sniff around to take it all in. I like having soft background music at home, bright and open spaces and no clutter, so that everyone is comfortable. Most importantly, its essential to understand the dog’s mood and preferences and start from there, whether playful, chill, cuddly or in need of some nice and quiet company together. I like to know their personalities and offer them the love they need. We also have a dog park in our condominium, if the dog’s family wants we can take him there or not, it’s your choice. We love doing long walks around Norwood in the neighborhood around, and also go to the Bird Park in Walpole.

Availability
Bart and I work from home so we are always available, I might have to go on-site twice a week but if so, Bart is 100% remote all week. We do not believe in leaving the dogs home-alone, so either one of us will always be at home and accommodate accordingly so that the dog always gets their daily love, care and attention that the family entrusted us with. We schedule drop offs and bookings between 7 am to 9 pm, we can work around that time as well
