Our Beginnings
While preparing to leave on vacation, I had trouble finding appropriate boarding for my two Great Danes, a dog with a reputation for sensitivity and an inability to kennel well. A stressful situation became the idea for Kibbles-n-Cuddles Pet Sitting. Me and my team have since relieved the stress of a number of pet owners in the Greater Mechanicsburg area, by providing loving care while you are away from home. Whether you need pet sitting, dog walking, or drop in visits while you travel for work or pleasure, we have your needs covered. Your pet will be in safe loving hands and treated like family. Fully insured and bonded, Kibbles-n-Cuddles in Mechanicsburg, PA allows your pets’ routine to stay the same while you are away from home, making it less stressful on you, and more importantly, on them.
Michelle, Owner
Hi, my name is Michelle Brockman, and I am the owner and founder of Kibbles-n-Cuddles Pet Sitting. Ever since I was a small child, I have had pets of every kind; dogs, cats, my sister’s horses, fish, birds, hamsters, and guinea pigs. My Father was an avid animal lover. He instilled in me a belief that pets are family members and should be treated as such.
I have cared for pets since I was old enough to do so. I decided to make it an official business in 2015, so I joined the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I took the Certification Course, including the Pet First Aid and CPR, and became Insured and Bonded.
My years of working with a Trainer for my own Rescued Great Dane have taught me so much about dog behavior and body language. This has really helped me in the pet sitting world.
Of course, I love all animals, but I have a soft spot for the special needs dogs. I love working with rescues or shy dogs and building that trust and a relationship over time. The best feeling in the world is when you make that breakthrough with a fearful dog.
Jen
Hi, my name is Jen and I joined Kibbles-n-Cuddles in December 2017 as a PC. I was born and raised in Long Island, New York, and moved to Pennsylvania nearly three years ago to pursue my doctoral degree in American Studies at Penn State Harrisburg. I currently teach three courses at Penn State Harrisburg as an adjunct professor while I work on my dissertation.
I have always loved animals and am not shy about receiving puppy hugs and kisses! I am the proud doggy mom of two beautiful little girls. Ripley is a three-year-old corgi that we adopted when she was only eight weeks old; she loves to wiggle her booty and can play for hours on end. We rescued LuLu in May 2017 and believe that she a five-year-old mini-pin mix. She was timid at first, but now she is her mommy’s shadow and loves to snuggle! As a member of this team, I can assure you that I will treat your pets just as I would my own. Every animal has a unique personality and I love making new fur buddies!
Michelle was a client of mine for over 3 years. (I did not hire her; she hired me). I am in the dog training business and she has been one of the best clients I’ve had in my 11 years of owning a business. She is a responsible mature person whom anyone can rely on without hesitation. I have seen first hand how she handles and interacts with her 2 Great Danes. (That’s not always easy!) She has a gentle and kind manner that is second to none, and that is toward dogs AND people. She is mature and responsible, and has extensive experience caring for a dog with a serious medical issue. Her love and commitment would bring you to tears. You won’t find a better candidate to care for your beloved pets. I would not hesitate hiring her to care for my own animals!
Naomi H.We’ve used Michelle and Kibbles-n-Cuddles for the past 2 years to care for our zoo of pets, and we’ve been really happy. It’s nice to know we can go away and our furry family members are well cared for in our absence! Michelle is always responsive and easy to work with, and most importantly – my pets love her. I would recommend Kibbles-n-Cuddles to anyone looking for a pet sitter they can trust.
AmyMichelle is wonderful with not only her own dog, but with any dog. She has helped me out on many occasions and sometimes at the very last minute when it could not be helped. Michelle is terrific and I’d highly recommend her to anyone with fur babies. She will care for them like her own dog.
DeniseMichelle has watched my dogs several times and my dogs just love her. I wouldn’t let anyone watch my dogs that I didn’t trust. She is great with them because she loves animals so much. She will always be my pet sitter when I need one. I highly recommend her!
TodThanks to Kibbles-n-Cuddles for taking good care of my 3 dogs. Just last week I had an urgent request for their services and they were able to accommodate our dog walking needs. It is so nice to know that my dogs get to go for midday walks and potty breaks with caring walkers. Michelle and her team even helped me with some training suggestions that they use on walks and I’ve incorporated them into my own walk routines.
