– Since 2018 –
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!
Pricing depends on the specific service booked and the length of time you require. Head over to my rates page for a breakdown!
I take my professional responsibilities very seriously! Here are some of the ways Dee’s Dogs stands out.
“I look forward to adventuring with your dog!”
Yes! I carry plenty of water during the hot summer months, and during the very rainy season and winter months I intentionally go to places with fresh drinking water available for the dogs. And I always have one or two large, 64-ounce bottles of water in my vehicle.
No. Although I do work occasional weekends, and I am open to advance requests for weekends and holidays, I cannot guarantee a regular weekly service as I do take time off to recharge.
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.
Yes, though it depends somewhat on the type of hike you're booking.
During social hikes, I prefer dogs who are in the process of learning good off-leash recall with their owners. I prefer to only use long training leashes during my social hikes, and cannot often accommodate a short-leash dog during those hikes.
For any solo services it is the decision of the client as to what length and type of leash they would like me to use.
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.
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.
