Our Story…

Two people standing outdoors with three dogs and reptiles

Hello, we are Sam and Emily (a.k.a the Bark Side team).

We are a Midlothian based couple who have a life long passion for animals, especially our four-legged friends.

We are the proud owners of three amazing rescue dogs; a quirky Border Collie, a cuddly Staffy X Lab, and a loveable American Bully X who has no idea what size she is. Our unique family has allowed us to understand the individual needs and personalities of different breeds.

With a background in shift-working, and as owners of a dog now deemed to be 'banned'. We know how difficult it can be to find the right level of care to suit your individual circumstances.

With that in mind, we have decided to start this new adventure, extending our love for animals from our home to yours.

At Bark Side of Midlothian, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care, engagement, and companionship for your furry friends.

We know that your animals are a big part of the family, so we will treat every single one in our care like our own.

A woman with dark hair tied back, wearing black sunglasses, a black jacket, and black pants, is standing on a grassy field with small white flowers, holding a yellow leash attached to a white dog with a muscular build. The dog is sitting and looking up at the woman. There are trees and a fence in the background with cloudy skies overhead.
