Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Lover and Trustworthy
With over 25 years of dog experience, ranging from extra-large to toy breeds, and 8 years of cat experience, I bring a lifetime of hands-on animal care to my work. I adopted my dog, Sokka, from the SFSPCA in 2020. He was described as “mouthy, jumpy, rambunctious” and transported from Fresno to SF. Today, he's a well-mannered companion who walks calmly on leash and knows over 20 commands, including ultimate recall. I also raised my tuxedo cat, Suki, at 3 months old when I adopted her in 2017. I’m certified in Red Cross Dog & Cat First Aid. I’m known for being patient, observant, loving, and pragmatic, with a strong instinct for reading animal body language. Your pets are in calm, capable hands.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Minh was fantastic with Angel! He’s calm, reliable, and clearly great with dogs. Angel absolutely loves him (and Sokka), and I always feel totally at ease knowing she’s in his care. I’m a Rover sitter myself, so I’m very discerning about who I trust with Angel, and Minh is genuinely one of the best. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone responsible, attentive, and experienced!
I strongly recommend Minh Phan for dog care and training services. Having seen how he’s trained his own dog, I can say Minh’s approach is practical, effective, and consistently gets results. His dog is one of the most disciplined I’ve come across, which says a lot about his knowledge and commitment. Minh is also reliable and straightforward, always acting with integrity and accountability.
Minh is an intelligent, organized, and caring individual. He has a strong work ethic and strives for continuous improvement. He is very loving toward animals, and he does so well with his pets as well as my own. I know I can always count on Minh for the best care for my pet, and I know for a fact that he will withhold the utmost responsibility for his work and for walking your dogs.
Minh is a wonderful pet owner! He took in my cat, Suki, as his own—and I think she might love him more than me now. We also adopted our dog, Sokka, together when he was about 2 years old. With no real history besides being "mouthy and rambunctious," Minh took the time to train Sokka using online resources, teaching him commands, leash manners, and even perfect recall! Both our cat and dog light up with excitement when Minh comes home, wakes up, or simply wants to cuddle and play. Minh is truly the definition of an animal lover—and animals feel the same way about him!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I crate train my dog, have a command for them to go to their bed, and provide mental stimulation training and feeding programs. I take my dog out for potty breaks at least three times a day. I will commit to showing your animal as much love and care as I do to mine.

A typical day
I believe in physical and mental stimulation for your animals. This either involves walks around the neighborhood for any new smells, going to the park, and training games.
