About Adelaide Barry:

Hi everyone! I'm Adelaide, a working college student, dancer, animal enthusiast and writer! I love to travel and am currently pursuing my degree 100% online so I can also spend these years doing all the things I love with the people I love! I do freelance work, social media management and look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies! I get also super well with pretty much every animal I've met, and can't wait to meet yours!


Experience:
Oh my where do I even start! I have had dogs since I was 3 years old, got my very first (and long asked for) cat at 4 years old, experienced rasing my first litter of kittens at 5 years old and got my very own miniature white Maltese poodle mix at 7! We had many different farm animals growing up, including chickens, ducks, turkeys, and goats, and I also helped care for our neighbors horses and dogs many a winter while they were away in sunny Hawaii. I have had the privilege of owning many rescue animals over the years including a German shepherd, border collie mix, chihuahua, miniature Maltese poodle mix, and three different cats! In addition to our little farm I added a few cheerful parrokets and numerous fish. Then there are the infamous goldfish, Fred and Ginger, that have almost outgrown their tank and get slightly aggressive at feeding time!
I have done multi week pet sitting twice for a sweet dog named Sammi, in addition to watching the owners home and plants in the middle of winter.
I have also done weekend dog and bird tending, and taken care of friends cats while they were out of town, simply being left with a key to come and tend the kittys multiple times per day.
In addition to my experience with many dog and cat breeds of all sizes, I have horse experience as well. I've worked on a ranch, done some play days and a trick riding course, and spent lots of time cleaning stalls and spreading hay in return for riding time!

What you can expect:
Having peace of mind while your away is super important, and I love being the person you can trust to take care of your precious critters and watch over your home while you enjoy some time off!
-Dependable, quality service you can trust.
-Sit summary: Pet care, house care and any details you need to know from the duration of the stay.
-Fully clean, fresh house when you return: laundry, fresh sheets, dishes, floors and bathroom fully clean.
I look forward to spending time with your pets, throwing a toy while I'm doing homework or taking them with me for a long walk or evening run. Setting a clear outline of your desires for home and pet care is top priority, and I am open to scheduling phone or zoom calls prior to the booking start dates as well! 
And I will always send lots of update pictures while your away! (Just tell me if they get too frequent ☺️)

Adalaide was a wonderful sitter and house guest. Excellent communication and was able to give Trixie her medication. Came home to a spotless apartment and very happy pup. Would welcome her back anytime. Thanks so much!

Adelaide watched our sweet Addy for 3 days. Her communication in setting up the trip was excellent. She made an effort to travel and meet our deadlines for watching Addy. She left our house very clean. Addy seemed happy and well cared for. We would love to have Adelaide sit for us again!

Leaving your home and pet in the hands of a sitter can be an uncomfortable leap of faith. I have had both good and bad experiences. However, when my husband and I scheduled our vacation this past Christmas, we felt Adelaide would be a good choice. We know her from church, and felt confident in her character. We could not have been more pleased when we returned home. Everything was in perfect order. More importantly, our sweet dog was happy and well cared for. Because of this, we requested her services a second time. We feel very fortunate to know our home and dog are so well cared for.
I will not hesitate to ask Adelaide to house sit again, nor will I hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking someone to watch their home and pet.
