I have kitchen drawers that were nailed at the ends looking to create dovetail ends any ideas on dovetail jigs

If you convert your current drawers, I think you will end up losing some size. Are you planning on redoing the drawers you already have? Or on making new drawers?

Also what type of tool do you need a jig for? A router? A band saw? a hand saw?

I recently went through buying a jig....made the mistake of trying the harbor freight one (same as another brand). After frustrating myself for 3 days I took it back and bought the porter cable jig....much much better.

I used this set up in my first dovetail project http://www.ptreeusa.com/ptree_dovetail_system.htm and it came out pretty good.

will I lose size if I dovetail the ends, wanting to do this because the nails are working loose,, also jig would be for a router

Yes, you will lose width, You would need to make all new drawers otherwise they would be 1 inch narrower

Yup, either build new drawers or build new cabinets. Cutting dovetails removes materials from the sides of the drawers, thus making each side shorter.
