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 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.

  • What time do you arrive and leave when pet sitting?

    My first visit (or check in) included in my base rate is ETA 4-6pm, and the final visit (or check out) is also ETD 4-6pm.

  • 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).

  • Can you walk my dog regularly every weekend?

    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.

  • What info do you require from me for pet sitting?

    During the meet-and-greet process I will ask for a full list of contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses. I will also collect your vet and emergency contact details in case of trouble, and go over a list of questions about your pet and questions your sitter needs to know about staying in your home.

    Learn more in the Getting to Know Your Pet & Home section.

  • 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.
