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 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.
-
Do you offer discounts when pet sitting for low-needs pets?
Yes, I offer a lowered pet sitting rate for cats and other less social pets. Some dogs may also qualify for this lower rates if they require less frequent check-ins and social time. It all depends on your pet's particular situation.
To see if you quality for a “low needs” discount, please inquire for details.
-
Will you work with dogs who have a history of biting humans?
No, I will not work with dogs who have a serious history of biting humans.
At my discretion I may provide services to a dog with 1 or 2 very mild instances of situational aggression, but only if they were in circumstances that I won't be putting them into (for example, a dog who does not like men, or has growled at toddlers).
-
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 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.
