Our Story

by my side was born from quiet mornings, loyal hearts, and the simple joy of being a dog mom.

Founded by a passionate dog parent and proud women-owned small business, our mission is to create timeless essentials that celebrate the bond between humans and their dogs — those who never walk alone.

Each piece is designed to bring warmth, comfort, and meaning to everyday moments — morning walks, matcha breaks, and slow afternoons spent side by side.

Beyond cozy hoodies and neutral tones, by my side exists to make a difference. A portion of every purchase is donated to animal rescue and adoption organizations, helping more dogs find their forever companions.

Because love doesn’t end with our own dogs — it continues through kindness, community, and giving back.
