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 an original rock band.

Janet M.
Janet is a lifelong dog and cat lover and owner. As a child, she cared for many types of pets, including dogs and cats, birds, turtles, fish and hamsters. She left the workforce early on as an accountant to become a stay-at-home mom with her daughter and son and fur babies as well! When the kids were school age she worked as a dog walker and cat sitter, which made her realize that being with animals is a satisfying way to spend her time. When the kids flew the nest, she worked as a Gate Agent for Northwest Airlines. Working with dogs and cats was still the dream job though, so she went on to work at Four Paws Pet Resort and then as a dog bather at Dig It Dog Grooming. Janet has never met a pet that isn’t special. She currently has a 14-yr-old Wheaten Terrier named Phoebe who is her constant companion. In her free time, Janet likes to go camping, settle in with a good book at a local coffee shop, movies and usually has a puzzle going on her dining room table. She looks forward to the kisses and hisses she gets each day from her new furry friends.
