I took my border terrier for a bath
and trim this Monday at Short bark and Sides. This was his fourth time. Yet again l bring him home looking and smelling a million dollars.
Professional, friendly service as always, l would not hesitate to recommend Collete and her team.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paul definitely provides a 5 star service. Our Kenzo stayed with him and his family for a week while we were on holiday. Obviously we were a little apprehensive but within hours Paul had put our minds at rest with a photo and message update. This happened daily and meant that we could relax and enjoy our holiday knowing that our boy was happy. having fun and in safe hands. He is now home and worn out after his week of adventures Thanks Paul, see you in August. More...

Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Our love for Paul is only beaten by our dog Herbie’s love for him! Paul’s flexible approach really helps us with our working week and managing our time. Herbie is always excited when he sees the van pull up and has even been known to cry when Paul leaves! The regular updates on Instagram and social media make us smile every time and help us rest at ease that Herbie is having a lovely day and being looked after. Little things like giving him a dry down before he comes back in the house and leaving him with a treat show he goes the extra mile. Herbies time with Paul has even made a noticeable change to his behaviour when out with us and he’s much more sociable with other dogs and is better in the car :) Thankyou Paul!! 5 stars! More...

I recently visited Short Bark and Sides Meanwood Leeds. I hv not used them before and thought l would give them a try as my usual groomers were booked up for some time. Having recently had an operation on my back l asked for my dogs Bertie and Mille both Cockerpoo to be cut very short. This was to assist me in grooming until I was fit and well. The staff and owner were very accommodating and did exactly as l had asked. I could not hv been more pleased when l picked them up. They look beautiful so cute. The groomer kept the face and tale traditional taking the body very close. They look lovely. I like the cut so much l may even keep them short from now on. The business was welcoming with good facilities. I particularly like the fact the dogs are not kept in cages whilst waiting for collection. They are allowed to move around in a secure area. As for pricing l paid £38 per dog which is competitive for a medium size dog in the local area. I knw some establishments give discounts for multiple dogs but you must remember you get what you pay for in the long run. I Bertie and Millie would like to thank you for a great experience. We will most definitely be visiting you again.Gail Harrison Leeds 7 More...

Great place for dogs! Very friendly staff! They did a great job with my poodle/bichon mix. Very reasonably priced! I've been to them for our second visit! Even better! My Bella is weary of people in general, but Daniel worked his way right to her heart! Plus, they text you when your four-legged friend is ready and they understand if you arrive a little earlier. I am so happy I found this place! More...

What can I say....they are my German shepherds on the front page shared very much with Zoe, they adore her, know the sound of her engine and wait with excitement when I say she's on her way! They love her very much. I never feel anxious, nervous or worried because she is an amazing 'doggy person' and very, very genuine. Ps I am so honoured they are on the picci, amazing, loving doggy walker xxxxxxxx More...

Our dog Dylan has stayed with Zoe on numerous occasions and to say he loves it is an understatement! He loves it there and it is clear to see the strong affection Zoe has for our "little man". I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Zoe to anybody but don't want to shout about it too loud as we all know how hard it is to find such a great dog sitter.Keep up the good work Zoe !!

We are delighted with the service we have received from K9 to 5. We have two teenage border collies boys and a two year old Newfoundland cross girl. The Newfy girl is very big and very strong and very demanding of attention. Zoe takes everything her stride and handles our big girl brilliantly. The dogs adore Zoe which is probably the best endorsement we could give. We have complete confidence that our pups will have a long enjoyable walk and come back to us safe and happy.....and tired :) Many thanks Zoe. More...

Paul is a lifeline for me with the dogs especially when I am working from home, and they cannot understand why they are not the centre of attention. Having two pups the size of ponies is not easy to keep them exercised and entertained, and without the extra walks that Paul provides them I think the house would be destroyed, but Paul manages them very well, and they love him so much. The dogs know the sound of the van and get so excited when they hear him arrive, every time they come back they are completely knackered and exhausted. Thanks again for a valuable service. More...
