Dr. TOSHA STARKE grew up on a grain and livestock farm in Brunswick County, Virginia. Pursuing her passion of caring for and healing animals, she received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004. Since then she has been providing exceptional veterinary care in many capacities throughout Northern Virginia. She has practiced as a Chief of Staff in two hospitals, provided medical care to shelter pets as well as worked as an associate veterinarian. Dr. Starke's experience is varied and well-rounded, and she loves the interaction and relationships that she is able to build with patients and clients. In 2013, Dr. Starke created All Four Paws Veterinary Relief. As a mother of two amazing kids, she needed a way to balance her passion of being a mom and a veterinarian. Starting her own relief practice has given her the flexibility to do both while creating a lasting positive impact on the veterinary profession. Her most recent venture in the veterinary field, Vets To Pets, was founded in 2021 to alleviate some of the strain on veterinary clinics. By seeing non-emergent patients in their homes and virtually, Vets To Pets is able to help decrease the wait times in Emergency Clinics and General Practices as well as eliminate the majority of stressors for pets and their owners that can be associated with a typical vet visit. Offering the in-home pet care service makes veterinary care more accessible to clients whose pets have anxiety about traveling in the car or being at the vet's office. Dr. Starke lives in Northern Virginia with her husband, her children Christopher and Gabrielle, and their three dogs: Dozer, Bruce, and Kettle.
