Pet care experience
**Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid.
Reviews
I had an awesome experience with Benjamin and would recommend to anyone who needs their pet looked after! Thanks so much for looking after my kitty!!
Benjamin is awesome and gives my baby lots of attention.
Amazing communication and great kindness!
Benjamin was by far the most professional and helpful Rover I've ever booked. The meet and great went amazing and felt very personable. I was updated with photos of all my pets and they went above and beyond to care for them all.

Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)
Information Benjamin P. would like to know about your pet
I’ll need to know your animal’s general routine. What do they eat, how much, and when? Potty schedule, typical behaviors, behaviors you want discouraged, and house rules are also important! I’m absolutely willing to do minor cleaning and will ALWAYS ensure messes are either cleaned or contained before your booking ends. Please keep in mind if your animal has any history of a specific or more general anxiety related behaviors, you leaving for any period of time and me being a new introduction to their space is very likely to exacerbate those behaviors. I will clean potty accidents, remove access to damaged or dangerous distractions, and do my best to keep your animal safe and happy, but I am not liable to damaged property directly caused by your animal. I give extensive Rover cards and make an effort to leave a hand written letter with details of your pet’s visits, anything I did while there, and usually a doodle of your pet as well!
A typical day
I like drawing, painting, training my service dog, and writing. I’m in college at SNHU for creative writing and I’m a star student! I’m majoring in poetry but plan to do whatever gigs that brings me.

Availability
I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate.
