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 provide extra services at pick up or drop off for dog walks?

    Yes! For an extra fee I can let your dog's sibling out for a pee if they are not joining us, put out their meal, or administer eye drops or quick medications.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can you bathe my dog at drop-off after their walk?

    No, though I do offer a quick towel dry.

    For an additional fee, I can also give your dog a quick hose-down after a really dirty day, so long as your dog is comfortable with it and you have an easily-accessible hose for me to use (which may not be the case during the winter months).

    Either way, during our meet and greet I will solidify drop-off instructions to follow if your dog is very dirty from their adventure. For example, I will place them in their kennel, the garage, backyard, or mudroom, etc.

  • Do you offer pet sitting for special needs pets?

    Yes. My pet sitting experience includes caring for animals with special needs, such as dogs with mobility issues or dietary restrictions. I am also certified in Canine First Aid and have no problems administering medicine and taking care of other particular needs.

  • 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.
