Mingjun can care for
Availability
I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed.

About Mingjun S.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.
Information Mingjun S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, medications, allergies, health conditions, bathroom habits, and favorite activities. For dogs, I’d also like to know about leash pulling, reactivity, fear triggers, escape attempts, and how they behave around unfamiliar people and animals. Please share any history of biting or aggression so I can keep everyone safe. I’m currently best suited to cats and small-to-medium adult dogs with manageable leash behavior, and I appreciate a Meet & Greet before the first booking whenever possible.
A typical day
During dog walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, activities may include walking along a safe, owner-approved route, plenty of sniffing time, play with favorite toys, meals, fresh water, and affection. For cats, I provide interactive play, brushing if they enjoy it, litter box care, and quiet companionship. I adjust every visit to your pet’s personality, energy level, and care instructions, and I always send photos and a detailed update afterward.

Calm, Reliable Care for Cats & Dogs
Pet care experience
I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Reviews
Mingjun is an absolutely outstanding dog sitter, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He took wonderful care of my 5-year-old dog and treated him with genuine patience, attention, and affection. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very attached to him. Mingjun is also exceptionally good at playing fetch—his ball-tossing technique is truly impressive! He knows exactly how to keep my dog engaged and excited without overdoing it, and my dog had an incredible time playing with him. It is obvious that Mingjun understands dogs and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I would trust him completely and would gladly book him again.
Mingjun took perfect care of our 5-year-old Shiba Inu while we were out of town for multiple times! He gave regular walks, took him to dog parks and played with him every day. He is super knowledgeable of taking care of dogs and loves spending time with dogs. Our dog loves him!
Mingjun has solid experience caring for both cats and dogs, including overnight and extended stays. He once stayed at my home and cared for my two cats for several weeks, making sure they were healthy, happy, and safe while I was away. He consistently spent more time with them than expected, kept them company, played with them using their favorite wand toys, and paid close attention to the little details. Even though I use automatic feeders, he cleaned their food and water bowls every day and scooped the litter boxes multiple times a day. My cats have very different personalities. One is extremely shy and the other is very outgoing, but they both grew to love him and would even make biscuits on him. Mingjun has also hosted a friend’s dog for several multi-day stays. The dog clearly adores him and gets incredibly happy and excited whenever Mingjun visits. He is patient, attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I would absolutely trust him with my pets and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.
