Comfortable SW Minneapolis house sit with an old hound Bonnie and energetic pup!
Introduction
We are a family who loves to travel and often visit family out of state. We regularly have house sitters stay at our house, but have not yet had sitters for our newest puppy. Our older dog is very used to the concept.
Show more...Home & location
We have a three bed three bath home with a good bit of extra living space. Owner suite has a king sized bed + sitting area w/gas fireplace. Main floor guest bedroom has a queen bed. Kids bedroom has a twin over twin bunk. There is a finished basement with a family room, office, and third full bathroom. Sleeps up to four adults + 2 kids in beds. Can also provide an air mattress if needed. Our home is on a nice block that backs up to a busy business district in SW Minneapolis with several restaurants, a coffee shop, groceries, and a great trail system all within a 5 minute walk. It does not bother us, but you will hear some traffic outside. Only 15 min from the airport, downtown, mall of america, and many more great areas of the Twin Cities. A car would be recommended but not completely required as transit (city bus) is less than a block away and it's easy to uber around. *Stairs are unavoidable for our home as there are steps leading up to both the front and back doors, and the home has living space on 3 levels. **Please note that we are not comfortable with having extra pets along with our human sitters.

We’ve recently (July 2024) adopted a new puppy Clover (born April 2024). As of mid July she is doing well with house training and we expect it to be done very shortly. The puppy is crate trained but needs caretakers who are able to help her release some energy through 2-3 walks a day and play inside and out. Clover has an older sibling Bonnie (11 yrs) to help teach her how to be a chill dog but she’s still learning. Bonnie has free roam of the house and is very calm after first introductions. Looking for a sitter(s) who can meet both needs. We have some houseplants that we'd like to keep alive. Some instructions for those will be included. We live in a northern climate and need to keep up with snow shoveling if it snows. We have shovels and snowblower if needed.

Matthew and his family were wonderful hosts. Their house is beautiful and in a great location. Bonnie is such a babe. She is so sweet and gentle. We had a lovely time taking care of her and enjoying the neighborhood. Thank you all! 🌺

Bonnie is a sweetheart and such a loving dog. She is easy to care for. Matthew was great to work with, both before and during the sit. The house was immaculate and very comfortable. The location is a huge positive, close to the Minnehaha Creek Trail, coffee, grocery and great restaurants. I would definitely recommend this house sit!

First off, Bonnie is a real sweetie and one of the most gentle and relaxed dogs that we have had the privilege of sitting. Matt & Madeline are lovely, great communicators and keep their home in excellent condition. Their neighborhood is located in a beautiful area of Minneapolis within very close proximity to grocery/convenience stores, as well as restaurants and parks. We really enjoyed our sit and would love to stay again! Thank you 😊

I had a wonderful time hanging out with Bonnie. She is so sweet and easy-going. I met Bonnie prior to my stay so that combined with very thorough directions left by Matt made for a stress free stay. The house is lovely and situated in a nice neighborhood with restuarants, a grocery store and other shops within easy walking distance.
