Meet Our Owner And Chief Sparkle Officer
Lynn Thoele
Homemade cookies will always taste better than store bought. A warm puppy will always melt your heart. Coming home to a clean house that smells fantastic will always put a smile on your face and a spring in your step!
I feel like the luckiest person in the world! After years of working in sales & marketing, I did something I knew nothing about and opened up a cleaning service! One thing I did know is that I wanted to make a difference and have a business where I could be of service to other people. After some trial and error, I got it figured out and I have a fantastic team behind me running everything like a fine Swiss watch! Our work won’t cure cancer or bring about world peace but we perform a vital service for people who don’t have the time, the desire or sometimes the ability to do it themselves.
My Sparklers are hard-working, fun-loving people of integrity who will treat your home with care and respect. No Debbie downers here…my Sparklers are upbeat & positive because they love what they do. We aren’t a discount service because my cleaners work hard and deserve to be paid well. But don’t worry, we won’t break the bank, either!
Last but not least, we are fully licensed, bonded & insured. My high-quality Sparklers go through an extensive hiring process including comprehensive criminal background checks & they must agree to random drug testing.
If you’d like a free, no-obligation phone consultation to get pricing, call or email and we’ll set that up in a jiffy!
Meet The People That Make It Sparkle
We are committed to being the leading cleaning company in the region and promise competitive prices, professional service and a great experience.

I share my home with my children, my husband Adam, our border collie/boxer mix Zoey, and our English Springer Spaniel Lincoln. In my spare time, I love to run, read, hang out with friends, and clean.

Hi, I’m Allyiah! Although I’m new to the company, I’m a veteran when it comes to putting smiles on faces after working 6+ years in healthcare. Caring for others and creating a sense of comfort has always been at the heart of what I do. As a new homeowner, I understand how important a clean, peaceful space is. Outside of work, I’m a mom to my little 80 pound lap dog Rubi (aka Rubi-Dooby-Doo) who keeps me on the move. When we aren’t at the dog park you can find me deep in a good fantasy or thriller book, finding the next thing to renovate in my home, or spending weekends at my camper in Balsam Lake.

Director of Pup-lick Relations
Pee Wee
Hi! My name is Pee Wee and I adopted Lynn and Sherri in January of 2023. I'm a Southern Belle, my Mama was found homeless and pregnant in Alabama and was brought to Minnesota by some great people at Warrior Dog Rescue. Would you believe I have 8 siblings! We were all adopted by great families. Lynn and Sherri stopped by a brewery on lazy Saturday where there was an adoption event going on. You wouldn't believe how precious I was! I snuggled on their laps and they fell hopelessly in love with me. The rest is history!
Chief Barketing Officer
Blanche
I was adopted by Lynn & Sherri in May 2024 after a rough start living on the streets of Alabama. Thanks to the amazing people at Warrior Dog Rescue and my loving foster family in MN, I found my way to my forever home. Lynn & Sherri were looking for a sister for Pee Wee… and then they saw me—how could anyone resist this underbite?! I’m not just cute—I’m the sweetest, most mellow girl you’ll ever meet. I love playing in the big backyard with my sisters… and then napping by the fireplace.
Chief Treat Acquisition Officer
PopTart
Hi! My name is PopTart and I am a Pug (America's greatest dog!) I joined the family last summer and quickly became the boss of Blanche, Pee Wee, and Finn (you’re welcome, everyone). I may be small, but I’m a little pistol who loves zooming around the yard with my big sisters.
I also love chasing Finn the cat—he’s very into me. He makes this loud & super funny “HISS!” sound and then does a quick ninja bop-bop-bop move on my face with his paws. It’s adorable & it doesn't deter me one bit! At night, I start out sleeping in my deluxe bassinet like a proper princess… but around 2:00 AM, I let out a cute little yelp and move to my rightful spot in the middle of the bed. People say I’m the perfect specimen of a pug with my squishy face and double-twirl tail. What do you think?
❤️ Remembering our Friends that Crossed the 🌈 Rainbow Bridge
