About Us



Toni & Will

The Universe was getting things together without these two even knowing. They both grew up in Adams Morgan starting in the late 80s, but didn't run into each other until 2022. 

Both worked for the same pet sitting company. Will started in 2015 & Toni in 2016, but never had the pleasure of meeting. Toni left the company in 2018 to pursue her dreams of owning her own pet sitting company. 

Toni & her 8 year old son at the time, Sanchez, sat down to brainstorm the perfect name for their company & designed their first business cards. At that moment, Paws and Claws 202 was born! The combination of growing up in D.C and loving all pets with paws and claws made it easy and ideal. Having two cats of her own made it easy and Toni knew that all furry companions deserved the love that she gives to them everyday. Toni worked hard and loved all the pets she took care of! She knew it'd be easier with help, but from where?

 

Fast forward to 2022. Will was working with the company and giving all of his time and love to his furry friends. There came a time where Will decided he needed to take some time off. Within the planning, the owner ran into Toni and asked for some help! The Universe was at work!

 

Toni came back aboard and helped Will with his route. He wasn't present at the time, but was happy to know that his furry friends were being well taken care of in his absence. There were a few pups Toni didn't have the chance to meet. Once Will came back, they decided it would be wise to introduce the remaining ones in case Will decided to take off again.

 

Once the two finally met, they hit it off instantly. Toni shared her story with Will and they knew this was meant to be. Toni had already built the ship! Once the two came together, they took care of the meticulous work and Paws and Claws 202 had taken off!!

With a strong loving connection, sharing their dreams and having more than a decade of experience caring for animals, the two decided to venture out to offer their services! 

Love, care and reliability is what you'll get with Paws & Claws 202.
