Overnight stays, daily walks, and medication care from a trained animal behavior student with hands-on shelter and boarding experience. Your pet gets a familiar routine and undivided attention, not a cage at a kennel.
I'm an Animal Behavior major at Indiana University, and I've spent most of the past year interning at Mad4Dog, a Bloomington dog training and pet sitting business — learning everything from reading canine body language to handling reactive dogs, administering medication safely, and managing multi-pet households.
At home, I've raised my own Chihuahua for 11 years, so I understand what it's like caring for a small, senior, or anxious dog just as much as a high-energy puppy. I started Anna's Pet Sitting Services so Bloomington pet owners have a trustworthy, trained, one-on-one alternative to a commercial kennel — someone who treats your pet like family because I actually understand animal behavior, not just because I like animals.
Every stay is built around your pet's routine — same food, same walks, same bedtime. Mix and match add-ons below, or use the quote calculator to price out your exact visit.
I stay overnight in your home so your pet keeps their normal environment and routine — no car ride, no unfamiliar kennel, no stress.
$100/night for 1 petNo overnight needed — I stop by for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and a wellness check while you're out for the day.
$30/day for 1 petHave more than one animal? I'll happily care for the whole household during the same stay or check-in.
Trained in safely giving daily oral medication, so pets with health needs stay on schedule.

Sample layout below — swap in real reviews from clients as Anna's independent business grows. (Marked "sample" so nothing is mistaken for a real quote.)
"Anna stayed with our two dogs for a week and sent updates every day. They were so relaxed when we got home — you could tell they were genuinely cared for."
"Our senior dog needs daily medication and Anna handled it perfectly. Her background in animal behavior really shows — she noticed things about our dog's routine we hadn't even mentioned."
"Booking was easy and communication was great from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone who wants their pet to stay home instead of going to a kennel."
Yes — I always recommend a free meet-and-greet before your pet's first stay so we can go over routines, food, medication, and any behavior notes together.
Mostly dogs, but I'm comfortable with cats and other small household pets too. Let me know your pet's species, age, and any special needs when you reach out.
Overnight stays happen in your home, so your pet keeps their normal environment, smells, and schedule instead of adjusting to a kennel.
Payment details (Venmo, cash, etc.) are confirmed after your quote and meet-and-greet — just ask when you reach out.
Yes — photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
