⭐ Star Sitter | Overnight Care

Hi, I’m Annamaria — a Star Sitter here in Raleigh with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities 🐶💛 I truly treat every pet like family. My goal is to make your days easier and your dogs’ days happier — full of exercise, love, and attention! Before moving to North Carolina, I lived in Shanghai, where I volunteered with the local animal rescue team to protect and rehabilitate dogs — that experience made me even more passionate about providing safe, compassionate care. When I’m not playing with pups, I’m a mom of two, cooking healthy meals, and working out (so your dogs get plenty of energy from me too!). I’m available most weekdays between 9 AM–3 PM and 4 PM–8 PM, plus overnight stays for traveling families. ✅ Fresh food & water always ✅ Clean, cozy environment ✅ Playtime, walks & cuddles ✅ Daily updates with photos/videos Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own 🐾

Annamaria took good care of our dogs and kept us up to date with pictures and texts. We would use her again!

Annamaria was such a thoughtful and considerate sitter for our dog. She took the time to understand her daily schedule and routine, and was very communicative throughout the week while we were away! She has a great setup as well with a fenced in yard - our dog loved hanging out there! We have already rebooked with her! Highly recommend!

Annamaria and family were amazing! I am new to Rover so I was a little nervous but with updates everyday, throughout the day, I quickly felt reassured Wren was in good hands. Wren received lots of loves, play time, and walks to keep her busy while at Annamaria’s and I think she hardly missed me (haha!). I couldn’t be more grateful and I will definitely be rebooking with Annamaria again. Thank you!!

Schedule

Your pup will never be left alone here! 🐶💛 While I work full time during the day, my mom and my 4-year-old son, Liam, are always home to give love, attention, and company. There’s constant supervision, playtime, and gentle care throughout the day. When I return home, I take over with evening walks, extra cuddles, and a calm bedtime routine. Your dog will always feel safe, loved, and part of our family 🏡🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup will stay in a loving, family-centered home where someone is always around to give care and attention 🐶💛. My mom and my 4-year-old son, Liam, are home throughout the day, offering gentle companionship and supervision. Our home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and rest. I follow every owner’s instructions closely — from feeding times to favorite routines — so your dog feels comfortable and secure. We keep water fresh, play areas tidy, and give updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved like part of our family 🏡🐾.

A typical day

A typical day here is full of love, play, and routine 🐶☀️. We start the morning with fresh air, a nice walk, and breakfast. During the day, my mom and my 4-year-old son, Liam, keep the pups company — there’s always someone to play, cuddle, or just relax with. We enjoy short play sessions, light training games, and plenty of nap time in cozy spots around the house. In the evenings, when I’m home, we go for longer walks, enjoy backyard playtime, and end the day with snuggles and calm music. Each dog gets the perfect mix of activity, affection, and rest — just like they would at home 💛🐾.

To make sure every pup feels safe and happy in our home, I like to know a few details ahead of time 🐶💛. Please share your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, and any special needs or habits. Because my 4-year-old son, Liam, and my mom are home during the day, I can only host dogs that are friendly with children and comfortable in a calm family environment. I also ask that pups are house-trained, up to date on vaccines, and non-destructive indoors. This helps keep everyone safe and relaxed. Your dog’s comfort is my top priority, and the more I know about them, the more love and care I can give 💕🐾.
