I've known Robert for years professionally and socially. He is friendly, outgoing, has an excellent personality and handles himself well in most any situation. He is creative, caring, thoughtful, personable, loves people and animals. As a pet owner Robert is responsible, loving and very interactive with his three 'children' (two Shih Tzu pups from babies and one rescue Labrador) . When I travel Robert housesits for my skittish cats/ kittens without a problem. They normally hide from people and can be difficult yet not with Robert. I have referred him to friends to take care of their numerous pets. Everyone was very pleased with his professionalism and care for their animals. His love of animals is very apparent in his actions and the animals reaction to him. I would highly recommend Robert to care for anyone's pet with loving attention.
