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.
Office Manager
Chelsea
I joined the Sparkle team in November 2019 after almost 10 years of managing Veterinary clinics. I have two children; Addison (9) and Garrison (7). I share my house with my children, my husband Adam, our Boxer/Border Collie mix Zoey, our English Springer Spaniel Lincoln and our tabby cat Pete. In my spare time, I love to run and am looking to sign up for another marathon soon. I also love to read, hang out with friends, and clean! I joined this team because I remember how happy I felt when I would come home to a clean house! It has been a pleasure getting to know you all over the years and I can't wait to keep building relationships with all of you.
Field Manager
Sarah
Hello there! My name is Sarah, or Captain Sailer to some, and I joined the Sparkle team in 2020, after my husband (Dillon) and I relocated from North Dakota during the height of the pandemic in search of a place we felt like we belonged. Boy, did we find that not only in the Twin Cities metro, but also in our new careers. I started my journey with the Sparkle team as a sparkler and trainer! After a small hiatus early this year, I am back in action and ready to set sail on the SS Sparkle Plenty in my new role!
We purchased our first home in Minneapolis proper last summer and share our space with our best friend (Joe) and two cat children, Marley (6) and Boris (4).
I have been spending most of my days working on interior decorating projects and gardening, but when I have free moments, I love to read anything and everything, go to the gym, work on art projects, create new vegan recipes, go thrifting and estate saling, attend concerts, discover new restaurants and breweries, traveling and attending conventions like Comic Con, and spend time with the people I love... People are my passion!
I am so excited to Sparkle for and connect with all of you!

Lead Distraction Officer
Finn
Hi! My name is Finn, I am a fierce hunter, except my human doesn’t like me catching birds and squirrels so she dresses me in a silly outfit, but I show her! I make sure to knock everything off her desk and lay on the keyboard so she can’t get any work done!
Cats
Boo & Earl
Hello! We are Earl and Boo! We love to hang out in the office and try not to cause as much trouble as Finn, but sometimes we just can’t help ourselves and take over a desk to get the humans to pay attention to us!
Head Cat In Charge
Pumpkin
Hello, my name is Pumpkin. I make sure to keep all the cats and pugs in line around here. I may be the smallest, but I am in charge! I love to lie in my bed on the file cabinet or under a warm lamp. I let my humans work, but whenever they take a break I am always up for some snuggles.
Pumpkin crossed the rainbow bridge in 2021. She will forever be Head Cat in Charge and is missed everyday.

Hey there! My name is Kyle, and I joined the Sparkle Plenty team in June 2024! I've always had a passion for service; I pride myself on helping others, and it's so rewarding to work for a company that shares those values.

Jodi
My name is Jodi. I was born and raised in the Woodbury area.
I operated and ran an in-home daycare for 23 years. After closing that daycare, I didn't want to go back to the machine designer/project manager desk job that I had prior to starting my home daycare. I wanted to have a job that would not only keep me active, but would bring me peace of mind that I was improving the lives of others and helping me with my serving others tendencies. I love being able to walk into a person's home and shine it up for them!
I am the mom to 4 grown children, 2 boxer dogs and a guinea pig.
I love to camp, take my dogs for walks and to dog parks, hike, make stained glass art, read, kayak, rollerblade, ride bike, garden and bake.
I am a fierce mama bear and volunteer for several pro LGBTQIA+ organizations. My husband, the pups and I spend our summers traveling to pride festivals all over Minnesota and Wisconsin.
