Who We Are
MAVPAC was founded in 2022 by Isabella Marchetta, inspired by the remarkable story of a dog named Maverick. Surrendered to a Southern California shelter at just two months old after being deemed "too much work," Maverick was given a second chance. And from that moment, the MAVPAC story began.
Isabella discovered Maverick through a social media post. Without hesitation, she drove over 2,500 miles across nine states to bring him home. Maverick’s strength, spirit, and high-energy needs quickly revealed a gap in the market: the available gear simply couldn’t keep up. It lacked the durability required for real adventure and the clean, modern design she wanted as a dog owner.
With a clear vision for what was missing, Isabella began building MAVPAC from the ground up. She researched, sketched, sourced, and iterated — learning by doing and driven by the belief that dogs deserved better, and their owners deserved more.
After months of prototyping and refining ideas through real-world use, MAVPAC launched its first line of modern, functional dog owner gear built for everyday adventure.
MAVPAC exists for dogs who do more and the humans who adventure with them. Every product is a tribute to Maverick’s journey and to the belief that sometimes the best ideas aren’t born from experience, but from love, grit, and the refusal to settle.
What started as one dog’s second chance is now a growing movement to equip dogs everywhere for the adventures they were born to take.
Because we believe wherever you go, you should go together.
