Kindred Creatures is devoted to supporting people and pets in all ways: training, boarding, exercise, special needs, crisis assistance, transportation.

Kindred Creatures provides integrated services to meet the needs of pets and their people, specializing in addressing the community service gaps for people with pets, combining professional dog training qualifications with extensive experience in social and community support.

Whatever it takes to create the balance you need for you and your pet—whether the challenge is due to a pet’s behaviour, a change in work schedule, a sudden health emergency, a crises of logistics, the arrival of a new baby or children on the scene--Kindred Creatures offers customized solutions to the unique needs of you and your pet(s).

Pets enrich our lives, and yet also can present challenges and create stress; they are each different from the next with genetically-determined traits, different rates of learning, different talents, and unique personalities.

Even when all is going well and the routine is nicely set, out of the blue or gradually, our pet’s or our own lives and/or health can become complicated in ways that present barriers to care, logistics or behaviour management.

The pain and stress of a forced separation for example, or the worry about a pet’s well-being or behaviour can be immense.

Kindred Creatures services focus on support for pet retention and harmonious co-existence and include: obedience training; facilitated visits (when separated due to hospitalization, work away, retirement living, divorce); crises and scheduled boarding (short and long term) in a loving environment; transportation; problem-solving difficult behaviours; provision of daily essentials--exercise, day care, mental enrichment, pet clean-up.

Kindred Creatures honours the interdependency of people and pets, and prioritizes solutions for the emotional and mental well-being of pets and their people.

Together, with you, we address the challenges you and your pet are facing by customizing professional services to fit with your individual needs and unique circumstances.

The resources and know-how to be concerned about the quality of life and relationship for pets was non-existent in social services in the past. The consequences of this were often negative and sad. Not only did animals sometimes suffer greatly, so did their people.

Kindred Creature is here to make the difference. Every day. Any day. Rainy day.
