Pet care experience

Caring & loving all pets as our own

Hi! We’re Maria Fernanda & Gabriel, a pet-loving couple from Paraguay and Brazil, now living in Vancouver. We couldn’t bring our dog Walter with us when we moved to Canada, but thanks to Rover, we get to share that same love and care with other pups — just like we would with him. (He is now Maria’s mom best companion). We both grew up with all kinds of dogs — rescues, Maltese, Boxers, Poodles, German Shepherds, and Goldens — so pets have always been a big part of our lives. If we show as unavailable or away for some specific dates, or service please feel free to reach out anyways— we’ll do our best to make it work.

Maria & Gabriel were great with our boy! Otis was immediately comfortable with Maria at drop-off. Maria & Gabriel are friendly, personable and very communicative. Most importantly Otis was chill & happy. They give regular updates & pics! Highly recommended!

Maria and Gabriel were so amazing in looking after our dog! They sent lots of photos, took him on fun outings and gave us great communication throughout. I would definitely use them again!

Andrea & Gabriel took care of Milky with lots of love and care. They updated us on a daily basis with pictures and more. Lots of walks and cuddles. Milky came back home happy and satisfied. We'll definitely come back!

Our cat had lots of fun with Maria and Gabriel. Thanks so much again. We’ll definitely ask for their help next time we’re out of town.
