I work from home, so we're together all the time. We take several walks to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. And we go on a daily excursion averaging two hours a day. I often arrange for a local Sniffspot where the dogs in my care can safely get some exercise, run and play on grass, and enjoy the breeze in the shelter of tree shade. WALK REQUESTS: My walking service consists of picking up your pup to join us for our afternoon excursion, usually to a safe and clean Sniffspot. Your pup will get to run and play with my gentle pack in a secure Sniffspot backyard for an hour.

Information Maria V. would like to know about your pet
I've been a Rover sitter for a very long time and have happily achieved a curated clientele. I care for multiple dogs at a time, which means I cannot accept dogs that are aggressive, that have odd triggers, or that are overly anxious. All dogs in my care must be spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, totally house-trained, and get along really, really well with other dogs. This is space for fun play and pup comradery. If that sounds like your pup, let's arrange a meet-n-greet and see if we're the right fit. Finding the right fit for your pup is important to me.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We go out several times a day just to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. In the early afternoon, we go out for our daily excursion. We like to go to a local *Sniffspot to run off-leash and play. Sometimes we walk to the marina and take in the cool breezes. We also like the dog beach on a warm day. Your dog should come with us! *With multiple dogs in my care, I prefer to go where it will mostly be just us, so I don't have to worry about other dogs. My pup clients are fun and well-behaved, and most of them have stayed together a lot and know each other well. They're great friends! Going to a Sniffspot allows us to enjoy each others company in a clean backyard, with grass and trees, in a safe and secure space. WALK REQUESTS: My walking service consists of picking up your pup to join us for our afternoon excursion, usually to a safe and clean Sniffspot. Your pup will get to run and play with my gentle pack in a secure Sniffspot backyard for an hour. Time I'll spend with your dog At home, we hang out, watch TV, play with toys, cuddle and nap together. We go out several times a day to stretch our legs and get fresh air.

Pet care experience
NOTE: All dogs in my care must be spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, totally house-trained, and get along really, really well with other dogs. *Rates include Sniffspot fees; ask me about Sniffspot! Send your dog on vacay while you're away. We're great hosts! We love to exercise, socialize, and play games. So give us a try. We'll even update you with great pics of all the fun stuff we're doing. Midday is here, time to go out and play! Oh no, you're at work or not at home and your furry friend needs to get some exercise. No problem. We can help! We go out every afternoon. We're great guides! We go out for an average of two hours every afternoon. We walk around town. We hit the marina. We even go to a Sniffspot for safe off-leash exercise. We are living the life! And we want to share it with your dog. Let us bring your pal along to alleviate the midday doldrums. In town with your best pal but can't take him/her to a meeting or to dinner or to Disneyland? Your pup can hang out with us. We're great sitters! Whether it's all day or just hanging out for a couple of hours, we can entertain and sooth your buddy until you get back. So try us. We'll even send you updates and photos to entertain you, too! * Dogs must be neutered/spayed. Sorry, no exceptions. ** Dogs must be house trained. No exceptions. Why I love dog sitting Because dogs are awesome! They're smart, active, and social. They're funny and interesting. I learn something from dogs just about every day. Boss, Clifford, and I have a pretty good life. We get to go out every day and do stuff, see stuff, and meet others. And we want to share it with more dogs. Meet my pets Boss is an 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer. Clifford is a 4-year-old Miniature Schnauzer. They're fun, friendly, and smart. They like to get other dogs to play. They're great with big dogs and little dogs, and even adjust play with elderly dogs and puppies. My experience administering medication Yes. I've administered medication to my own pets as well as to guest pets, including insulin shots and epilepsy meds.
Reviews
My dog, Anchovy, looked like he was having so much fun on his vacation! I almost wanted to trade places. Maria was amazing and sent great updates. Anchovy was smiling ear to ear in every photo.
Maria is always so wonderful with the dogs! I know that they will be in good hands and I don’t have to worry about them.
Maria is the best!!! She's been taking care of our baby for years! We love how she treats our baby girl like her own. If you're looking for a sitter, don't hesitate to reach out to Maria --- you won't find anyone any better!
Momo has the time of his life on these outings! He even looks happy in the car ride (and normally is not a fan of car rides!). He went twice so far and will have to go again in the future. Maria is awesome with curating a great group of dogs- Momo has so much fun running around with the little pack at the park. It almost looks like he might be having more fun than he does when we take him to the park! Maria came through with my last-minute request and still accommodated a meet-and-greet beforehand. Thank you for making sure he has a fun and safe time!
