Passionate dog loving couple!!

Pet care experience

Hello! We are Ricardo and Mariana and we love dogs! We have been Rovering for a while and so far we have loved the experience. Meeting and taking care of new furry friends make us very happy, and while you are not at home, we will be able to give them all the love and care they need! Ricardo was raised with 2 labrador retrievers, from which he learned a lot of things. As a couple, we have also taken care of other breeds, from small little guys to even a Great Dane, and from puppies to more senior dogs. We also have our own dog, Leia, a Goldendoodle that loves to play with all humans and dogs! We are very active, so we'll take your furry friend for some fun, run or walk and we will love it! You can bet your dog will have a great time and will return to you happier. Having dogs for so many years made us realize how important is to take care of them because they are like human beings. They also taught us about discipline, friendship, solidarity, and respect and this is why we will take so much care of your dog. Ricardo and Mariana!

This was my first time using this app as well as the first time leaving my dog with anyone I didn't know. Everything went very smoothly and I am super happy with the service! Ricardo did a great job and my dog loves their whole family. Thx guys!! See u again soon

I was a bit nervous leaving my fur baby with Ricardo and Mariana (as they were new to me and my baby) but the way they took care of Bella was great! I was updated every day without fail. Bella became friends with their fur baby Leia (Bella is very social but I wasn’t sure how she would be around another dog and that too double her size lol). She came back home happy! I will definitely reach out to them again as I know that I can trust them with my fur baby and they will take good care of her!

Ricardo and Mariana were fantastic taking care of my little girl. They sent me lots of update photos and notes every day. I usually prefer sitters who have a dog so my girl has a friend to play with when I’m away, and my pup got along very well with their dog Leia. She definitely enjoyed her stay and I’d gladly use Ricardo and Mariana again!

Thanks for letting me book a trial run day care at short notice before my trip. This eased my mind a lot to leave her for so long. I appreciate it!
