– Since 2018 –
Jacky Dee here! I’m a loving mom to Zoe The Adventure Dog and the proud owner/operator of Nanaimo’s Dee’s Dogs.
I’ve been hiking with and taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and since Dee’s Dogs started in 2018 I have been caring for Nanaimo’s canine and small pet community.
I take my profession seriously.
During hikes I fit GPS collars to all dogs, I carry commercial insurance coverage, and am certified in canine first aid.
In other words, your pet’s in safe paws with me!
Pricing depends on the specific service booked and the length of time you require. Head over to my rates page for a breakdown!
I take my professional responsibilities very seriously! Here are some of the ways Dee’s Dogs stands out.
“I look forward to adventuring with your dog!”
No. I have very limited experience introducing dogs to muzzles for the first time, so if your dog requires one it is your responsibility to muzzle train.
You can download the “Time to Pet” app for iPhone and Android via the Apple App Store and the Google Play marketplace:
Yes! I prefer using trail-type dog parks and designated off-leash dog beaches as opposed to the small, fenced yard style of parks. I also follow all City of Nanaimo bylaws, one of which limits the amount of dogs under the care of one human to only two dogs.
Yes. I use the “Time To Pet” booking software, and existing clients can schedule their bookings online at this link.
Please note that online booking is currently available to existing clients only. First-time clients should contact me instead!
Yes! However, certain age categories, sizes, and neuter status may not be suitable for all of Dee's Dogs offerings. For example, social hikes are not typically a good fit for some intact/non-neutered dogs of any age, depending on their temperament and how the group will respond to them. Very large breed puppies may not be suited to the amount of exercise and play that a social hike offers.
Yes. Due to the limited nature of my pet sitting and dog walking spots, I do enforce fairly strict policies for cancellations or major rescheduling. My policies vary depending on what service is booked, so please contact me for more details or consult your Client Agreement forms.
