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.

We really enjoyed this housesit! The pups are adorable, friendly and well behaved. The house was comfortable and had all the conveniences that we needed. Great location and the owners provided detailed instructions and their preferences so that we could have a successful stay. Highly recommend for other housesitters and we would stay again.

We definitely give this pet sit 5 thumbs up!! Bonnie and Clyde are the sweetest and easiest dogs to care for. The home was exceptionally nice and comfortable! Matthew and Madeline are awesome and well organized. We would love to sit again in the future.

Beautiful home and lovely dogs! Clyde is so sweet and Bonnie will keep to herself, until she wants you to pet her! Both dogs were easy to take care of. They had everything I needed here, as well as lot's of shops nearby. Minnehaha creek is also super close, so you can take some beautiful walks through MPLS!

Matt & Madeleine were great to sit for! They'd had sitters before, so were extremely well prepared and provided me with detailed info. Bonnie and Clyde were delightful - very sweet, relaxed, low-maintenance dogs. The house is in a great neighbourhood, and close to everything you could possibly need. I enjoyed walking to Lake Harriet in the mild autumn weather and spectacular colors. Highly recommend sitting for these folks!
