Loving and experienced dog care
Pet care experience
Hello Pet Parents, My name is Maria, Ive dedicated most of my life to the dogs, my first vivid memory of my love for dogs was when my mother and I took care of a litter of puppies at the age of five. When I was in college I took up a job at a local doggy daycare and that is where I gain professional experience as a Dog Handler. I was in charge of overseeing “playgroups” where I had 20+ dogs in one play area. This is also where I really learned in depth how dogs behave and how the communicate with us and with other dogs. I also learned training techniques from a certified trainer, and implemented them into my everyday role. Later on I worked on rover and a dog walk walking service for Two years from my home. It was a great experience being able to do what I loved from the comfort of my home. I never had any issues and all my Repeat clients were happy to have my services and some of the dogs didn’t even want to leave. During this year I had the opportunity to work at another doggy daycare in SF where I had the chance to work with the dogs again and work with the clients side of the business. I also had the chance to really gain more experience on dog behavior with the Trish King Dog Academy, and got my certification. When I adopted my Deaf English Bull Terrier, Phillipo; about two years ago, it was Amazingly difficult. He is one of the smartest dogs you will ever meet, but there were so many challenges in raising him. I trained him from day one with all the experience that I had before from my previous dogs and work. He loves dogs and enjoys having dog company over, he tends to be weary or strangers but is super friendly once he gets comfortable. My troublesome twins are Ralph and Alfredo, I found them in box in the rain one morning last year when I was out walking my bully. They were only 6 weeks old, since I regularly find strays and foster dogs I thought I would help them find a home. Turns out they had already found a home in my heart, they’ve been my boys ever since. They have been though a lot in their short lives and are not that fond of strangers although they have gotten really better with a lot of positive reinforcement. Ralph and Alfredo do love dogs and have always been around other dogs since they were puppies. Thank you for considering me as your sitter and I hope to be your dogs next best friend.

Our family loves you Maria! Our favorite and only pet sitter we will ever hire:)
We absolutely cannot express the gratitude we have for Maria! The love she has for our pups has far exceeded our expectations! We won’t use anyone else! We have three dogs who didn’t do well in boarding facilities, so traveling knowing Maria is with them makes leaving them a little less stressful. Thank you as always Maria for loving our pups and rest our home ❤️
I came back to two dogs and one cat that were well taken care of by Maria. She watered my plants as I asked and everything was in order. Peace of mind is key when leaving fur babies at home. I highly recommend Maria.
Maria was great! She kept me updated on my dog and sent some pictures and was very communicative. I feel our house was well taken care of too and she was very helpful in taking out our trash when I asked. We will definitely book with her again when we need it.

Information Maria V. would like to know about your pet
First things i woukd like to know is the basics, Does the dog have any medical issues i should know before i do any activites with them? Are they agressive in any way? Do they get along with other dogs? Is there anything in particular i should know? Whats there favorite toy or treat? I also like to have a Trial day where I can evaluate and see if we are a good fit for each other before I do any Boarding or reoccurring daycare. This involves really getting to know your dog one on one so that we all feel comfortable with each other.
A typical day
My favorite place to take dogs is hiking on different trails like temescal or berkeley hills its beautiful to get to experience with dogs they absolutly love the outdoors. I also really want to get to know each and every dog in order to meet every individuals needs before I can plan any activites.
