Your pet’s in safe paws
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What info do you require from me for pet sitting?
During the meet-and-greet process I will ask for a full list of contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses. I will also collect your vet and emergency contact details in case of trouble, and go over a list of questions about your pet and questions your sitter needs to know about staying in your home.

Where can I download the booking app?
You can download the “Time to Pet” app for iPhone and Android via the Apple App Store and the Google Play marketplace:
-
Do you offer services for puppies?
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.
-
Can you provide pet sitting somewhere other than my home?
No. Dee’s Dogs pet sitting services always take place in your home. I do not offer a boarding style of pet sitting where your pet is moved to a different location.
-
Will you muzzle train my 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.
-
What is your pet sitting service area?
I offer my pet sitting services in the Nanaimo area and in communities just outside of town, such as Cedar, Lantzville, and Nanoose Bay, depending on the needs of your pets.
