Merry Maids was founded in 1979 and gained it's place in Rochester in 1983. Dale and Kirsten Dodds moved to Rochester, MN with their young family in the summer of 2007 when Dale accepted the branch manager position at Merry Maids. In March of 2016, the branch became a family-owned and operated franchise. Kirsten soon joined the business, and son, Owen, started helping with the window washing service in 2021.

We build our team based on family values of respect, honesty and integrity, knowing that they will be going into your personal space. All team members are cleared through a national background check, motor vehicle record check and pre-employment drug screen. Merry Maids provides a hands-on training program to ensure our team members are certified cleaning professionals. Coincidentally, most of our staff are "professional" animal lovers! Have pets? We can't wait to meet them!

We offer flexible cleaning options to best fit your needs - no cookie-cutter plans here! We offer weekly, every other week and every four week options for recurring cleanings of your whole house, just your bathrooms or something in between. Have a special event coming up and don't have time to clean? We can do a one-time cleaning to take that off of you plate! Moving in/moving out, need your office cleaned, windows? We can do that, too! Call us to let us know how we can best help you! Then, relax, it's done!
