About Us

Maria Mikhail is the owner and founder of A Dog's Day, LLC - a pet care
business offering dog walking, playtime, vacation care and more!

Our mission is to help owners provide a proper balance of exercise, training,
love and overall wellness for their pets when they can be there, as well as
when they cannot.





















Who We Are

A Dog's Day, LLC was founded because after interning and working at the Best
of Boston's
"the pawsitive dog" in Boston www.thepawsitivedog.com,
Massachusetts for over two years, Maria decided to move back to her home
state of Connecticut and be closer to her family and friends.

Not wanting to give up working with dogs, she decided to use the skills she had
learned at the training facility to open a dog care business.  She wanted it to be
one that would offer people the opportunity to be guilt free and feel
comfortable when they are not able to be with their dogs as much as they
would like, or if they travel, an emergency comes up, etc.

Being a dog owner herself, she had already gone through the same process of
looking for a dog walker/pet sitter and interviewed several people until she
found the right one.  It's not an easy task to find someone who can give your
beloved pets one on one attention,  reinforces the training and household rules
you may have and just as importantly
HAS EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS!
A certified Pet First Aid instructor with the Red Cross, Maria continues to train
her own two dogs, Presley and Vyla, in her spare time and just added two new
dogs to her pack, Kila and Jake.

Melissa and Hilary

Melissa and Hilary, sisters, both joined the team at A Dog's Day, LLC as pet
sitters/dog walkers at the same time.  

Melissa, a full time elementary school teacher, has gained hands on experience
pet sitting for friends and relatives over the years.  

Hilary, who works with special needs children full time, has similar experience.
More recently they have both learned techniques for administering various
medications while helping care for their parents dog Barney who they
rescued/adopted.  This knowledge comes in very handy while caring for special
needs pets.

Hilary and Melissa are caring, responsible pet lovers whose gentle nature is
easily picked up on - both by humans and pets.  I am lucky to have them on the
team!
