Meet the owner
When Tabatha Patterson got her Basenji puppy Manah in 2007, everything changed. Working as a creative director for an entertainment and special events company, Tabatha started bringing Manah to the office so she wouldn't have to be alone all day in her crate. Soon Manah introduced her to many fun dog events, dog parks and dog friendly restaurants (thanks to sidewalkdog.com).
After recovering from a cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy, Tabatha decided to leave the corporate world behind and simplify her life. Because of her life-long love of animals she chose to become a dog walker and pet sitter.
Tabatha has thoroughly researched healthy food choices, took pet nutrition classes, trained in pet first aid and CPR, studied vaccination needs and titer testing, and extensively studied the subject of how to raise a healthy well balanced pet.
Rock Star has grown over the years and has serviced over 700 pets. All of Tabatha's employees have passed extensive national background checks and are uniquely qualified to provide an outstanding level of service. Read more about Tabatha in the Star Tribune.
In Tabatha's spare time she sings and writes music for the original rock band UZZA.
