Rick & Melissa looked after Diana’s pets & home

We were extremely happy to have had Rick & Melissa take care of our dog and our home. The dog was very well taken care of and loved, our little furry friend was literally spoiled. When we returned from vacation, our home was absolutely spotless. We can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done, it was a blessing for us.
