Minneapolis Retreat with One Purrrfect Lady
Introduction
Hello! My name is Meghan and I'm a photographer living in Minneapolis, MN. I have two elderly cats that are my heart. I love to travel, especially in the winter. Ironically, i tend to "escape" winter to go on winter get aways - i'm an avid snowboarder! Because of my cats age, i feel much better leaving her, knowing that someone is there to care for her in the house. She isn't high maintenance or anything, but has particular tastes and I don't want her to feel neglected when i am traveling. I'm hoping there is someone out there who fits the bill and is looking for a great get-away in good ole, Minneapolis, MN!

I have a lovely story and half, 3 br, 2 bath Bungalow in South Minneapolis. I'm just 10 minutes from uptown and downtown, 15 from the airport, and 18 from the Mall of America. My house comes fully loaded with high speed (fiber) internet, all the streaming platforms you could ever want, a gas fireplace, treadmill, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, 1 office, and 2 adorable cats. You are welcome to stay in either bedroom in my home. I live a block off the bus line if public transportation is your thing and there is tons to do in the area. Such as... -Checking out a classic film at the local theater 10 blocks away (the Parkway theater). This little pocket of mpls charm is located at 48th & chicago avenue and is making a delightful covid comeback. -Visiting the Mall of America. Alllll the shopping you could ever hope for -Touring one of several museums (the walker art center is my personal favorite) - Checking out the bustling North Loop Neighborhood in Mpls where you'll find loads of swanky bars and brewery's. -walking the Minnehaha Creek (just 10 blocks away). This gorgeous creek is a feast for the eyes and soul every time of year. -Exploring the chain of lakes in minnie - there's several to choose from! Bde Mka Ska, Lake of the Isles, Lake Harriet to name a few!

My little lady is pretty low maintenance though she does have particularities. Lucy can't live without her breakfast! She will patiently wait for it to be made and is sometimes very vocal about it. She also needs to go outside at least once a day. She was formerly an alley cat and i've found that if she doesn't maintain a certain sense of freedom, she gets ornery.

Taking care of Lucy was such a joy!! Meghan has a beautiful home and the neighborhood was great as well. Felt very safe here as a solo queer female traveler. Lucy spent most of her time outside and i would just check on her every hour. She has very “old lady” energy in the most endearing way. It would be a pleasure pet sitting here again - i could not recommend Meghan more !

Beautiful home and Lucy is sweet when she warms up to you. I had a lovely time, spent the days in the backyard with Lucy. Meghan is easy to communicate with, thank you again!

My stay at Heather’s house, looking after Lucy, was truly enjoyable. She provided clear instructions and excellent communication throughout. Her hospitality and openness were much appreciated. Her home is well-equipped, extremely comfortable, and well-maintained, making it an excellent place to 'work from home'. Lucy, the star of the show, is a delightful and sweet companion to spend time with. I highly recommend this experience.

My inaugural THS experience was perfect. First, Meghan is delightful, communicates quickly, and left me with every bit of information I needed. Her house inside and out should be in a magazine. And she did all the remodeling and decorating herself. The office is lovely to work in and the wi-fi is perfect. She has a fun cookbook selection too. Second, the location is wonderful. Close to museums and a coop (Which I happily took advantage of!!) and walking distance to Midtown Global Market, where I found both Moroccan and Venezuelan food - both are a bit unusual to find. Finally, those two fluff balls won me over within minutes and luckily I won them over in a few hours. Lucy is certainly her own individual and knows what she wants. Her cuteness made it difficult to resist the asks for additional food, yet letting her out certainly was key to keeping her happy and content. I hope I can sit again in warm weather to enjoy the lovely backyard and to watch Lucy take in her world. Lilu is the sweetest little thing ever. She clearly missed her mama, yet I was able to win her over by nestling into the cozy adorable nook upstairs. Plan to have a good book or something to watch while curled up on the loveseat. Lilu will find her way over and ask to be brushed. It is almost meditative to brush her. She will communicate when she is done and she will communicate when she wants more - I had stopped and she touched her paw to the brush to let me know she wanted more. Just go slow and gentle and you can work your way up to her belly and even brushing out the little mats in her coat. If you have a chance to visit Minneapolis, this sit will make it a perfect experience.
