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

  • When pet sitting, do you spend the entire time with my pet?

    No, my pet sitting services do not include 24/7 monitoring. When you hire Dee's Dogs for Daytime & Overnight Pet Sitting, your dog will either:

    • Join me for social hikes and be left alone for at least 5 hours during the day; OR
    • Not join me for social hikes, and be left alone at home for a typical 8-hour work day (with a check-in between 4pm–6pm)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
