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

  • Do you offer online booking/scheduling?

    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!

  • Do you use electronic training collars?

    Yes, but only at a client's request, and only if they have done basic balanced training exercises (not purely punishment based) with their dog and the collar. They can be useful in off-leash back-road scenarios to avoid dangerous situations.

  • What is your service area?

    Dog hikes & home visits

    Dee's Dogs primarily provides dog hiking and home visit services to Nanaimo. I also work with clients in outlying areas that include Extension Road and Nanaimo River Road to the Nanaimo Lakes Road area. These services do not extend to Cedar.

    Pet sitting

    For my pet sitting services, I work in the communities listed above and in areas just outside of Nanaimo, such as Cedar, Lantzville, and Nanoose Bay, depending on the needs of your pets.

  • Do you offer dog training services?

    No, though I may be able to refer you to someone who does. Just drop me a line with some info about your dog (and their behaviour), and I'll see what I can do.

  • Do you have a cancellation policy?

    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.

  • Do you work with animals other than dogs?

    Yes! I offer my pet sitting services to cats and other small pets. I have experience with rabbits, fish, turtles, chickens, ducks, iguanas, guinea pigs, and similar small pets. I am also willing to discuss other potential animals beyond the regular small furry creatures and cage pets, so just get in touch with your questions.
