Kathy's Drop In and Extended Stay
Hello my name is Kathy and I'm 60plus, retired and love dogs. I have been away from the Rover platform since 2021. In May of 2024 my husband and I moved from Saskatoon to Good Spirit Lake to be closer to my daughter's family in Yorkton and our two grandsons ages 12 and 10. They also have 2 small dogs at home and are very comfortable and love spending time with all dogs. In July we adotped the sweetest boy Marco. He's a Shorkie breed which is 1/2 Shih Tzu 1/2 Yorkshire Terrier. He will be 1 yr old in April 2026. We live lakeside so we do not have a fenced yard so so all potty breaks will be on leash with myself in attendance. We have an upper deck that is enclosed with a railing and gate that is safe place to leave the dogs unattended weather permitting. Dogs have been in my life and members of my family since childhood. In 2018 and 2019 two of our dogs left this world. Ozzie our Jack Russell Terrier and and Teaca our Sheltie Cross. I would like to do a meet and greet prior to your pets stay if possible but feel free to book your reservation now. A meet and greet is so nice because it provides peace of mind for us the owners and our pets. Note: Overnight stays are charged per 24hrs. If your pets stay will be longer than 24hrs then a daycare fee will be charged. For example if you dropped off on a friday at 9am and plan to pick up on a sunday evening this would be 2 overnight stays and 1 daycare fee for the full day on sunday. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I will respond quickly.

Ratings and reviews
Couldn’t ask for anything more in a pet sitter. Will definitely use Kathy again.
Toby had a great day with Kathy. She was so wonderful with him.
Can't say enough good things about the care Kathy, her husband & her dog Ozzie gave my Mugsy!!! They are a perfect match for my dog. I will certainly be using them again & again.
Kathy was more than an excellent dog sitter. She looked after my 16 yr old Yorkie, with failing eyesight & hearing, as if he was her own. Such a caring & kind person?
My two mini doxies love Kathy & her dog Ozzie :) They immediately felt comfortable in her care & are excited when they are dropped off!!
Kathy has taken in our pet and given him the best treatment that you could expect. He was right at home with Kathy and her husband. We are glad that he enjoyed his stay. Makes us very comfortable when leaving him behind while away.

Schedule
I am at home full time and enjoy lake life and being outdoors walking and spending time in my garden. I often drive to Canora (15Min) to pick up the mail and a few groceries. I typically take my dog Marco with me as he loves car rides. I am early up in the morning and early to bed and Marco sleeps with us and I have no problem having extra pups in my bed if that's what they prefer. My husband works in construction and has very busy periods and slow periods throughout the year. He loves dogs and enjoys spending time with us walking and playing.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have no carpet in our home other than a few area rugs that wash up easily. The dogs will have free run of our home that is a single floor, no basement. Marco is a big lover of all dogs and people. He loves to play and run and fetch his toys. He is showing no signs of jealousy or possessiveness towards me.
Pets
A typical day
I take Maco out for a potty break first thing in the morning ( on leash) and a morning walk about 10am for approximately 1/2 hr and then frequent potty breaks throughout the day and an afternoon walk approximately 1/2 hr.
