Robert was kind and caring with our family dog, Luna. She has a great deal of anxiety and does not get along with many dogs. Robert was patient and read Luna's cues so she could be as comfortable as possible in his home. Robert sent me frequent updates on how Luna was doing, along with pictures of her stay. Robert is an excellent dog host!
