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!
Allergies! The scratching, itching, biting season is here. What to do when your dog or cat is doing all of the above or even if one of the symptoms is present?
Homeopathic remedies include: omega 3 oils, such as fish oil, vitamin E or other over the counter omega 3 remedies from your local pet store.
I have found that spooning about 2 to 3 tablespoons of locally hived bee honey over my dogs food at each feeding has alleviated most if not all of the seasonal allergies they experience. If you live in the Phoenix metro area, any honey produced and hived in the Sonoran desert works. Do not buy honey that is not produced by bees within a 50 mile radius of where you live. The allergens will not be effective if it's outside of the area.
The effect of the honey takes at least 2-3 months. So, start now. I buy my honey at Costco.
If your pet does not get any relief from the homeopathic remedies, or it's symptoms are too serious, such as scratching themselves raw, bleeding from self-inflicted wounds or other serious symptoms, please contact your vet at once. And, I do mean at once.
Keep your pet indoors as much as possible during the blooming season. When temperatures reach 85 to 90 degrees, the symptoms seem to ease. Of course, then we're into the hot weather, which has a whole other set of problems!!
A healthy pet owner owns a healthy pet! Stay well.
