Bloomington Pet Pals We Play While You're Away
About Us

Bloomington Pet Pals was founded in 2005. It is owned and operated
by Diane Stuercke and Ann Wesley. Both are long-time pet owners
who love their dogs and cat as if they are humans.

The importance of home pet care became obvious to us on the
occasions when we were out of town and couldn't take our babies
with us. When friends could babysit, the animals suffered no ill
effects. But sometimes friends are busy or it felt like an imposition to
kennels, but each time we left them at one, we saw the trauma they
experienced being in a strange place. They cried and had to be
dragged away from us. One dog was afraid of the others barking at
her. Another suffered separation anxiety in a kennel.

Though they received good care, a concrete floor didn't compare to
their own beds, food and comfort of home. Their boarding reports
indicated they frequently didn't eat the first day. Mixing with other
dogs always brought the possibility of fleas or fights.

Finally we realized that many families experience the same situation
we did, and we realized how great the need is for a safe, loving
service for pets when owners are away from home. We structure our
business to provide you with the type of service we would want for
our own animals.

Bloomington Pet Pals has grown steadily since we first opened and in
late summer of 2009 we added limited overnight care to the services
we offer.

Brdiget Siebert was hired to provide sleep-over care in client homes.
Bridget grew up on a farm and has always been a pet lover. Since she
was a little girl she's known what its like to be around and take care of
multiple animals at the same time. In addition Bridget has animal-care
experience through a job she held with the Cross Creek House Call
Veterinary Practice in Floyds Knobs, Indiana. She is an IU graduate
with a degree in telecommunications, but says if she had it to do all
over again, she would have become a veterinarian. Bridget currently
has two cats, Olly and Pumpkin.
