Hi! My name is Maiah and I adore dogs. I own two dogs, a chocolate lab and a shorkie, and I love taking them and any other dogs on walks. I am experienced with dogs who can be a bit more unruly, especially those who like to pull. I've worked at the Oregon Zoo and Chintimini Wildlife Center as a volunteer, and have experience with all types of animals, so having other pets would not be an issue for me!

“Let’s go on an adventure!”
I have always loved dogs, all breeds! I have had doggie companions as long as I can remember. I have worked with dogs of all different personalities. I have transported them across the country and back. I believe that they’re all special little souls with their own personalities and needs. I view getting to spend time with these wonderful little beings as a fun adventure. I look forward to meeting and spending time with these wonderful new friends.

I was told I would dig up all the rocks when I was a kid so the worms wouldn't crash. My love and care for creatures and animals has always consumed my life! I have always been the go-to when friends and family need their babies taken care of for short and long term. I just lost my 75lb. baby boy who I had the pleasure of spoiling for the last ten years. Because of him I not only gained experience with big dogs, but I have become more in tune with animals in the way a mother does with kids. I will love and protect your baby as I did my Nino.
