Dog Training
I am not sure about the meaning in this informal English sentence of the expression "rolled up". It is a book about dog (puppy) training, written in very coloquial English.
"That’s how I want your puppy to be. Living life purely for pleasure, not a care in the world.
I think back to the magical adventures we’ve shared: catching ‘bad guys’, searching for drugs, singing along to the radio in the van on our way to the training field, and generally just being with each other. We’ve covered thousands of miles and made more B&B hosts doubt their own judgement when we’ve rolled up than I care to remember. I’m so excited for you. You and your puppy are going to make your own magical adventures".
My attempt:
"Pienso en las mágicas aventuras que hemos compartido: jugar a atrapar a los «malos», buscar drogas, cantar al ritmo de la radio en la furgoneta de camino al área de adiestramiento y, en general, simplemente estando juntos. Hemos recorrido miles de kilómetros, haciendo dudar al presentarnos a más anfitriones de B&B de los que me gustaría recordar".

Comment: "Thank you very much for your help. I still don´t understand what the author's intended meaning is... Maybe the malinois dog looks fearful and the B&B owners where initially afraid of them because of that..."

Aparecernos
I think, in this case according to context, ''roll up'' means to show up in a place unexpectedly.
Example sentence:
2. (informal) [person] presentarse ⧫ aparecer you can’t roll up half way through the rehearsal no puedes presentarte or aparecer en mitad del ensayo

Hemos recorrido miles de kilómetros, y hemos hecho cuestionarse su propia decisión a aun más dueños de los que alcance a recordar al aparecernos en sus bed & breakfast. Estoy tan entusiasmado/a por ustedes. Tú y tu cachorrito van a vivir sus propias aventuras llenas de magia.

En el contexto donde conde aparece la expresión "rolled up", el significado me suena como esto. Yo hice la traducción de la frase y me resulto eso.

: ¿Y que se enrollaron? El contexto indica otra cosa, no una traducción literal. Lamento muito.
