I could tell right away that Mason was a reliable and caring host. My Rookie (a 2-year-old 60 pound lab mix rescue) does not get along with other dogs, and Mason was extremely accommodating. He offered to keep his own dog Palmer (who he says loves to play) at his parents' house until Rookie's stay was over! Another major bonus was the photos I received from Mason. I could tell from the pictures that Rookie was very comfortable, happy, and "at home" in Mason's house. Per my request, Mason took Rookie for two long walks during the day and had him sleep in a large kennel at night. I had no problems at all with Mason and I'd definitely recommend him to others!
