United States, Minneapolis, Minnesota

- Cat(s)
- Fish
one cat and two tanks of freshwater fish
Dates
- 28 Oct 2025 to 18 Nov 2025 (Only 1 sitter has applied for these dates)
About this assignment
We are looking for someone to stay in our place from about Tuesday October 28th-Tuesday November 18th. Please contact us if you are interested!
The primary duties will be taking care of and providing companionship to our cat. She's very social so we'd like more human companionship than just a short visit each day that pet-sitters might provide.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Taking care of our cat (feeding her, cleaning the litter box, and providing companionship), feeding the fish in 2 different tanks, and watering some house plants.
What are the good features of the property and location
We live in a spacious 2 floor house in the convenient area of Lyn-Lake Minneapolis. We're located in a residential area very close to many amenities including the Chain of Lakes (Bde Maka Ska, Lake of the Isles, Lake Harriet, and Cedar Lake), with numerous restaurants, cafes, bars, and grocery stores nearby. We're on a bus route, with a bike boulevard 2 blocks away and the Midtown Greenway bike path 3 blocks away. Covered, secure bike parking is available in our garage. We have a Roku player for streaming services and over-the-air TV. We pay for WiFi and utilities, so very low costs for you. We consider house sitters our guests; we provide a dossier with info on local attractions, individualized to the interests of each house sitter!
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
We are looking for someone to stay in our place, not just visit. Our cat is easy to take care of, but does want a regular presence. We also have some plants to water, plus two fish tanks that will need some attention. Overall, a pretty easy house-sitting gig and we'd love to hear from you if you think it is a good fit!
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Testimonials
Super sweet kitties in super comfortable place
This was my first pet sitting assignment and it couldn't have been a better experience. Though I stressed a little over the plants and fish, Oscar and Juno were super friendly and loving and very easy to take care of. Gregg and Kellie were very easy-going and responsive and gave detailed instructions. They also left suggestions of things to do in the neighborhood, which is very walkable and active, with a bus line right outside their door taking you downtown. My three weeks there were very comfortable and I'd come back anytime.

Sweetest fur babies in lovely condo
I stayed at Kellie and Gregg's for two weeks, looking after their plants, fish, and two of the sweetest fur babies I've ever come across. Oscar, Juno and I bonded almost instantly and I think they knew I was going through a rough period after a very recent breakup because they would always be around me (or ON me) and they seemed determined to make me laugh with their mischievous personalities. I really think hanging out with them made the whole difference as it was impossible not to feel loved or entertained in their company. In a way, I think they looked after me rather than the opposite. Everything went super smooth with Kellie and Gregg as well from our very first communication. They were very kind to pick me up at the airport super early and left me one of their bikes which made the Minneapolis experience way more "typical". I also enjoyed eating kale, peppers, mint and tomatoes straight from their veggie garden. Their house has everything needed for a comfortable stay, with lots of plants and natural light, and is very conveniently located. I enjoyed going to work on my computer at one of the many cafés in the area in the mornings. Supermarket was a short walk from the house or 3 mins by bike. The house is in front of a park with live music once a week. Within less than a 10 min bike ride you can get to some of the many lakes of the city. I was happy to explore Minneapolis in the afternoons and come back to the house to hang out with the cats. All in all, an easy and smooth housesitting experience with lots of purring involved.

Friendly couple with super sweet cats
Kellie and Gregg were very good at communication and organized. Their apartment was bright and clean, and I appreciated their detailed instructions for the pet/plant care. The cats and fish were very easy to care for, and the kitties were wonderful to play with and cuddle. The apartment is in a great neighborhood, and I would recommend this house-sit for anyone looking to stay in the Twin Cities!

House and Cat Sitting for Gregg & Kellie
I had the opportunity to house and cat sit for Greg & Kellie. They are great people, very organized, and left detailed instructions for cat care. Their cats Juno and Oscar were sweet and well behaved. I hope to see them again!

Oscar and Juno in Minneapolis
Jake and I spent almost a week with the lovable Juno and Oscar in Minneapolis and we had such a wonderful experience. We had a chance to meet Gregg and Kellie and they were such a gorgeous, friendly couple. Their pet/house instructions were very detailed, organised and easy to follow. The sit was a breeze. They were so generous and gave us access to everything in the house. We really appreciated use of the bikes and canoes! I definitely recommend this sit to others! We will remember this experience fondly. I wish them all the best :)

Two Sweet Cats in Uptown Minneapolis
An ideal house sit! I completely enjoyed the experience. The duties - caring for two indoor cats, feeding fish, watering houseplants, bringing up the mail - were simple and straightforward. Oscar and Juno were delightful companions! The space was bright, tidy, and well-organized. Gregg and Kellie were very prepared hosts, with instructions and a contract shared in advance of the sit. They also left a folder of helpful information, and they let the neighbors know I was going to be there. I felt very welcome, relaxed, and comfortable in their home, and the location was outstanding. There's so much to do in Minneapolis, and it's easy to get around - excellent biking and walking, plus bus and light rail. I also enjoyed visiting with Gregg and Kellie before and after their trip. House sitting for them was a real joy!

Untown Kitty Sitting in Minneapolis with Oscar and Juno
In October, I had the opportunity to house and kitty sit for Gregg and Kellie at their condo in Minneapolis. This made it possible for me to come back home to Minnesota and visit my friends and family. Both Oscar and Juno were very friendly, I enjoyed cuddling up and hanging out them and the fish. Oscar even gave me a back massage! They were so organized, Kellie had information typed out for the care of pets, plants and home. Gregg was great, he researched what buses I would need to take so I could go and visit my Mother. They live in such a great neighborhood. I was able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops. Just a short distance to the Rose Garden and walk around Lake Harriet one of my favorite activities to do in the summer. Thank you Gregg and Kellie for making it possible to spend time with my family. Let me know next time if you need some help!

Welcoming homeowners, kitties, and city.
Weeks before our sit, Gregg and Kellie sent us a plethora of information. The packet included how to take care of Juno and Oscar, as well as detailed info about their condo, neighborhood, and city. Their hospitality made us feel at home. We were welcomed with a ride from the airport, a bicycling map, and 2 lovable kitties who soon warmed up to us. Kellie and Gregg's comfortable, centrally located condo allowed us to bike in all directions. Minneapolis has been on our bucket list and we were unbelievably impressed with the parks and trail system. We would gladly sit for Juno and Oscar again!

It was a pleasure to stay with cats Oscar and Juno in uptown Minneapolis
I am so glad I went to Minneapolis for Juno & Oscar, because it was a really pleasant experience. The condo is in a very safe neighborhood (uptown), it was uplifting and colorful. Juno & Oscar are supersweet cats, it was fun to be around them and snap their pictures. Gregg & Kellie are very kind people, Gregg even got a car for the day to pick me up from the airport. I would come back any time if they'd ask me to. Condo is in a quiet street, easy bus connection to downtown, walking distance to Lake Calhoun. Supermarket, drugstore, restaurants and teashop are also in walking distance.

Great location, friendly and organized home owners, sweet pets and plants!
Gregg and Kellie are very friendly, considerate and they communicate their needs very clearly. They were organized with their instructions, so there was no guess work, which only sets a sitter up for success. The pets are sweet, and the plants are low maintenance. There are lots of nice shops and restaurants nearby. Public transportation is less than a block away. Their home is neat and well-stocked for tech needs as well as cooking. This was one of out best house-sitting experiences largely due to Gregg and Kellie’s generosity and organization. If we could, we would sit for them again.
