Dee’s Pet Care Services

  • Dog Hiking

    I’ll pick up your dog for a proper outdoor adventure and drop them off ready to nap. Choose between small-group social hikes or solo hikes.
  • Pet Sitting

    I’ll stay over at your place, either just overnight or for longer stretches. Your pets will be entertained and safe, and your home won’t be empty.
  • Home Visits

    I’ll check in on your pets and take your dog out for a potty break or a neighbourhood walk. Perfect for busy or working moms ‘n dads!

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

  • 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 walk my dog if I am sick with a contagious illness?

    Yes, but only if contact-free pickup is available and your dog's collar any gate/touch surface is sanitized. I will not enter your home or use your leash, but I will pick up and drop off your dog from your secured yard.

  • Do you work with animals other than dogs?

    Yes! I offer my home visits and 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.

  • How much do your services cost?

    Pricing for services depends on specifically what you're looking for. Head over to my rates page for details on rates for my various dog walking and pet care services.

  • 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.

  • 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).
