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
-
Will you take my dog to a city dog park?
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.
-
Do you provide treats during your dog services?
Yes! I do carry treats with me, however if your dog has allergies you must provide your own.
-
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.
-
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:
-
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.
-
Do you cancel walks or hikes due to the weather?
Not very often! However, there are instances where the weather can be dangerous, such as extremely hot/cold temperatures, or very windy/snowy days. In these cases I may choose to shorten or cancel services altogether depending on the circumstances.
