A Place Like Home
Friends of Toto was founded with a simple idea: to create a safe, clean, and caring place where dog owners could feel completely comfortable leaving their pets.
As lifelong dog lovers and former commuters with busy professional lives, we understood firsthand the challenge of balancing work responsibilities with the desire to give our dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Like many pet owners, we struggled to find a facility that felt as safe, clean, and trustworthy as our home.
That experience inspired us to build Friends of Toto. It is a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility designed to give pet owners peace of mind and dogs a true home-like environment.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the highest standard of dog care through:
- A safe and clean environment
- Attentive, trained, and compassionate staff
- Strong operational safety and cleanliness protocols
- A welcoming, community focused approach to pet care
- A place where dogs are treated like family
We are committed to continually raising the standard of pet care in Rhode Island.
