About Nose To Toes Grooming
Every service at Nose To Toes is built around your dog or cat's individual needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rebecca Tobias, the proud owner and Lead Groomer of Nose To Toes Grooming, has been bringing out the best in pets since 2011. She opened Nose To Toes in 2014, serving the Richmond Hill community for nearly a decade before relocating to Markham. The move was a short distance but the clients followed regardless, and several who had already moved away from the area still make the trip.
Rebecca continuously invests in industry-leading tools, products, and education to ensure the best results for her furry clients. She actively participates in continued education and advanced training, staying at the forefront of grooming techniques and pet care. Currently, she is on the path to becoming a Certified Master Feline Groomer, further expanding her expertise in cat grooming.
At Nose To Toes Grooming, every pet, big or small, easygoing or spicy, is treated with patience, compassion, and skill. Whether it's a fresh trim, a breed-specific style, or a stress-free cat grooming session, Rebecca ensures a positive experience for pets and their owners alike.
For eight years, she worked solo, building a reputation one pet at a time. Today, Nose To Toes is a team of groomers, each sharing the same approach: assess the animal, listen to the owner, and earn the trust of both.
Rebecca is dedicated to providing top-quality care for both dogs and cats. Her love for animals has been lifelong, and it shines through in every groom, especially when working with pets that are nervous, special needs, or require extra patience.
In 2025, the salon was recognised as the Community Votes Markham Platinum Winner in pet grooming, voted the best by the people who live here.
Three Things that Guide Every Appointment
Health Before Appearance
A good groom is not just about how your pet looks when they leave. It is about how they feel, and what we noticed while they were here. Skin, coat, nails, ears: we check all of it.
Every Pet is Different
Breed is a starting point, not a formula. Two dogs of the same breed can have completely different coat conditions, temperaments, and needs. We assess every animal individually before we begin.
Trust Takes Time.
Some pets need more time than others. We do not rush appointments, and we do not turn animals away because they are anxious or difficult. We work with them until the process feels safe.
