Welcome to Verado Home and Pet Sitting.
About Verado:
“I’ve been in business since 2006. The ‘Verado’ name is inspired by the time I spent growing up in Vermont and the 20 years I lived in Colorado. I moved to Arizona in 2004, and started this company after leaving America West Airlines. Not that I don’t like people but, animals are so much easier to get along with!!!
When you hire Verado Home and Pet Sitting to care for your pets or your home, you are hiring ‘me only’. I do not have other employees. I am insured and bonded for your safety and mine. I have references available upon request. I do not take your pets into my home, but visit your pets in their own environment; where they are most comfortable and content.
I have 3 dogs of my own; Athena, a German Shepherd, AJ, (AKA, Ares) a Golden Retriever we didn't think he was a God of War, hence the AKA, and Rhea, a Doberman. The love I have for animals will be evident when I care for your pets.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your pets!”

Helpful Hints!
New puppy at home? It's like having a new baby arrive in your home.
Babies love structure and so do new puppies. There is eating time, sleeping time, training time and play time.
I encourage people to use a crate to train their puppies. Dogs are den animals and a crate creates a safe haven for your puppy. Makes having your new bundle of joy really a joy!
Always feed your puppie at the same time every day. This makes house training much easier. Always take your puppy out right after eating and show the puppy the area that you want him/her to do their business. Use a word that you are comfortable using: go potty, do business, any word that the puppy will connect with having to go; use it often! After they go tell them good dog, and pet them. I don't encourage using treats as a reward for potty training. Lots of good encouragement works well.
After doing their bathroom duty it's playtime. Let them play but always watch them. Puppies love to explore and chew. Supervision is necessary. About a half hour of playtime is plenty. Now, it's nap time!
Put the puppy into the crate. They will whine and cry. Be STRONG! Don't say it's OK or it's alright, this only encourages them to continue the crying. Let them know that you are there; they will go to sleep. When they wake up take them immediately outside to their bathroom area. Start all over again! In a few days you'll have a housebroken puppy who will automatically go to their crate to sleep!
Good Luck!
