Kindle Aseltine is the Owner and Founder of Siskiyou Pet Care.

Generations of Kindle’s family were born and raised right here in Siskiyou County. Kindle started Freedom K9, a well known and respected Dog Training Facility, in Yreka California, in 2016. She knew the area seriously lacked safe places to leave your canine family members so she offered daycare and boarding services to her training clients. In 2022, with the amazing popularity of Freedom K9’s boarding services and still a huge need for boarding in the area, it was time to expand! Kindle bought property in Truck Village, Mt. Shasta only 25 minutes from Freedom K9 and Siskiyou Pet Care was born!

Kindle is a Canine Behavior Specialist and Certified Dog Trainer. She has dedicated years of her time learning from the very best Dog Handlers in Pet Obedience, Behavior Modification, Home Protection, Multi-Purpose Police Canines, Dog Sports, Detection, and Search & Rescue. She passes her knowledge and experience down to her staff and with her oversight, Freedom K9 now helps struggling families in multiple states.
Learning never stops and Kindle continues to build on her education by attending workshops, seminars, completing certifications, and learning from Master Trainers (the best in their field) all over the United States. Not to mention the hundreds of dogs she and her crew work with every year.

When you meet with and talk to Kindle, her passion and absolute love for what she does is evident. Siskiyou Pet Care and Freedom K9 are not just typical businesses for her, they are her life.

Hi friends, my name is Jennifer Wyatt. I am a mother of 3 and a dog mom/grandmom of 3.

For 17 years I was an educator for the Siskiyou County Office of Education. I worked with students with varying degrees of abilities throughout my career. Educating and helping others has been a huge passion of mine for over 20 years.

Living in a small community, I have also developed a love for community outreach and volunteering. It started when my children were in 4-H and I have since volunteered with numerous organizations. On several occasions, I have helped assemble temporary evacuation shelters for animals that were displaced due to the California wildfires. Through my volunteer work, I have developed a close relationship with the Siskiyou Spay-Neuter Incentive Program (SNIP).

When I’m not volunteering, I enjoy being outdoors and will never say no to an adventure! My fur baby Nova is the center of my world and we love to spend our free time hiking, camping, and traveling. Nova has opened up my eyes to a whole new world of freedom, flexibility, and adventure. I have a passion for training and going to as many dog related classes as possible! We’ve dabbled in Agility, Scent Work, Advanced Obedience, Rally and even earned our AKC Canine Good Citizen Title!

I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Alicia has combined a passion for dogs and an artistic eye that drives her to be an exceptional professional groomer! She has mastered patience in working with dogs of all temperaments from her extensive experience as a trainer for 12+ years and her knowledge of dog behavior. Grooming perfectly combined her creativity and perfectionist nature with her love for helping dogs. She is experienced with coat care, handling special needs & senior pets, fearful dogs, and puppies. She always takes her time to ensure the best grooming experience possible for both the dog and the pet parent.

She takes pride in helping dogs become well-rounded, well-groomed, and confident companions. 

Alicia has two dogs, Kingsley the regal chupacabra & Apollo, the danger poodle. She also has a horse, named Sara. They love to be outdoors exploring new trails – whether biking, kayaking, or trail riding to their favorite spots.

Ira joined the Siskiyou Pet Care family in 2023. She has two fur-babies, a Lab named Koa and a Golden Retriever named Cedar. Ira is very passionate and loves caring for animals. Her new found love has been learning about dog training and dog behavior. On her days off, she’s known to come into work to mentor under Freedom K9’s head trainer Catherine, go on training adventures with her dogs, and enjoys riding her horse, Squirt. Ira is one of the hardest working people we know and we are so fortunate to have her as one of our amazing Kennel Technicians!

Ava started working at Siskiyou Pet Care in 2024. She graduated from Etna High School and she is now a full-time collage student at Collage of the Siskiyou’s. Ava loves to be busy and she excels at her job! Her friendly nature helps all of our clients feel welcome… And of course, all of the dogs LOVE her!!! 

Catherine started working at Freedom K9 in 2021. Her passion for learning and the dedication to the dogs in her care is unmatched.

Catherine has two dogs, her soul dog Nox the Beauceron and Zora, her Black Lab. 

Catherine started in the dog world working at a local rescue. Then she met Kindle when her family trained their dogs at Freedom K9. Catherine started out as a Kennel Technician at Freedom K9 and worked her way up over the years to be Freedom K9’s Head Trainer.

Catherine is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator as well as a Do More With Your Dog Trick Training Instructor. She loves training all dogs but training puppies and service dogs are her favorite. Catherine is great at connecting with her human clients to build up their confidence and understanding so they can have the best relationship and life with their dogs as possible. 

Catherine assists with dogs that have special temperaments at Siskiyou Pet Care to make sure that the staff and dogs in our care are comfortable and safe.
