Kindred Spirit: An outdoorsy and  cage-free haven for small and medium dogs since 2006. Senior dogs are welcome !!

We have been a true alternative to kennels and house sitters since 2006!

We are PSI Bonded&Insured!

What makes us different are our daily adventurous hikes and the time we take to get to know each dog and her family! 

• Owner Martina concentrates on the individual needs of small dogs  and bigger Seniors at  THE KINDRED SPIRIT COTTAGE located on 1 fenced acre and shown in picture above Martina has studied Canine Psychology, Canine first aid and has 19 years of experience handling dogs in a safe and compassionate way .
• Partner Neil enjoys caring for a few mid-sized dogs and takes them on long hikes
• We access a dog's temperament and suitability in a meet-n-greet with parent and dogs. Most dogs are invited back for a  preliminary daycare before the service starts.
•  
•  Our service starts around 8am  with a daily adventurous 2 mile trail hike for active dogs  Seniors go on a leashed neighborhood hike afterwards .
•  
• All dogs sleep in our home on dogbeds , couches or in crates. 
• We provide daycare for a bigger group of our regular customers 3 days a week .
•  
• UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT ACCEPT UNNEUTERED MALES OLDER THAN 8 MONTHS!!!
• We are bonded and insured. 
• We are low-tech (no cameras, no artificial turf) and hands-on,  spending 8 hours supervising dogs play inside and outside daily. Someone is on the premises nearly always to keep an eye/ear on them.,

We feel that if we would get a dollar for every time the dogs make us smile, we would all be millionaires:-)
