Pet Stores in Rochester, MN

“Great prices, great staff, great store! Placing an online order was quick and easy, and they have great deals periodically. We will be switching to shopping with them more than Petsmart!”

“I took my dog there for the first time to be groomed. He is a golden retriever and Carolyn did a fantastic job! It took 2 hours and the prices were very reasonable. Thank you so much!”

“Nice bird feeders, and bird food. Great service, I offered to help, but before you know it the guy had 75 lbs of feed & corn in his arms and said"lead the way" Thanks ?”

“Found what we wanted easily. Got $5 off by joining the rewards program. Good service. Friendly cashier. Able to bring our dog in with us. A potential place to train puppies to be around people and other dogs.”

“Always love to go and see what you guys have something different always catches my eyes when I come here very friendly staff and all around enjoyable place to stop by.”

“The fish were in great shape, at least betta wise! A lovely gal (I wish I got her name) helped me to entirety.

I had a basic education of proper betta care, and a HUGE fear of my daughter’s birthday fish becoming birthday trauma that same week. She heard those fears, responding in pure reassurance and education much to my appreciation. She helped me pick the tank, helped confirm soaking and rinsing the colored pebbles wouldn’t be an automatic death sentence, and helped me understand despite a tighter budget, if what I had in mind was doable or not like I had hoped.

I love a caring pet store worker, one who shows passion and education and is willing to share that aspect of themselves with others. She helped me choose whether a filter or heater was more imminent for the 24 hour wait (that I questioned if was even okay for the fish out of my pure fears) as well as helping educate me on the tank setup of the water levels! I told her of hard calcium to our well water, and she responded wonderfully to confirm it wouldn’t kill him with the proper cycle and water adjustments added (conditioner I believe) and even taught me the exact drop amount mid-aisle running the math in her head.

I’ve never felt so educated and yet understood in my hopes and goals, while also being told if it’s within reach or not. I expressed a budget, more budget within the few days, and she helped us make it happen! Here I am just about a week later to say he is happy, and absolutely thriving in his heated, and filtered 5.5 gallon tank! We plan to upgrade his size in future, and I think we’ll only ever be headed back there from now on. Maybe I’ll see the gal who helped us on 1/19/26 again, and I can happily report our bettas progress in hopes of learning more. Or perhaps I’ll learn my own to impress her? Either way. If I could compliment her anymore highly? I would. Get that girl the next raise or next position up, clearly she knows what she’s doing and has pure passion (hint hint petco I left the date of shopping on purpose-AFTERNOON TO BE EXACT!! lol)

Honorable mentions as well is the checkout woman from that evening. Her and my daughter had a wonderfully in depth conversation on the movie releases (and varieties) of how to train your dragon, including very happily sharing her favorites of their releases and my daughter comparing them to hers on the ride home. She truly clicked with her, proudly showing her fish and asking her to keep him safe while we shopped. She commented in the car “she kept my fishy right next to her, she really kept him safe when he’s right where she can see” and it made her feel happily comforted. She’s still grasping how delicate they are, and her major fear is him spilling out of his water, starting as soon as she selected him. Her actions alone was enough for my 5 year old to be beyond content knowing he’s safe.

She’s non-stop spoken on this store, and I agree easily saying it’s got the best options of any coming from Iowa area. Unless you want Minneapolis area shopping? They’re your place!”

“We had bought a sprayer for a UTV and the pump went bad. They called the company and ordered a pump for us and took care of the warranty. They were very good to work with. Not sure how to spell his name correctly but I will try to get close- Joshiah? Sorry if I butchered it. He was very helpful. Thank you again.”

“I love bringing my dogs to Petsmart to be groomed. The staff are very friendly. And my dogs love seeing them. Piper and Cinder look and smell wonderful after their spa time at Petsmart. Highly recommend the grooming services.”
