She is now a full time dog walker, and revealed that this has made her life "10 times better".
"I wish I could go back to my younger self and tell her that I will find a job I love", she revealed in a video posted to her TikTok account @maisytait.
Maisy now never works more than five hours a day, and gets paid to play with gorgeous puppies.
The dog walker revealed that she would rather have a life outside of work than earn lots of money; however, she added that it's a misconception that it doesn't pay well.
"You can be paid the exact same or even more than your corporate job", she said.
The dog walker, who picks the dogs up in a plush Range Rover, said she has grown so attached to all of the dogs she looks after.
"I honestly love them like they're my own", she said.
Maisy even takes her own dog, seven-month-old Bernie, out on walks with her, and he loves playing with the other pets.
When she was 18, Maisy quit university and was unsure what to do with her life.
She went through four corporate jobs that she hated before setting up an events styling business, and then her dog walking business.
5 crucial pet safety tips every dog owner should know
"It just brings me so much happiness", she said.
Maisy's video has likely left many impressed, as it has racked up over 239,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: "I don't know why people think we make pocket money.
"I make more than old job, but now on part time hours."
A second peson said: "How does it feel to live my dream!"
A third person said: "How do I do this?
"Get me away from a desk!"
