Sunshine Bay, New South Wales

A comfortable, 3 bedroom + study, modern suburban home (built 2013), in a quiet, friendly, cul-de-sac, with all the usual amenities (no pool). The back yard is quite private and easily maintained.

I have a 6 year old maltese bichon frise cross, whose care during my absence is my top priority. I haven't left him for more than 3 nights before, so a 6-week stint will be new for him. But he's a very intelligent dog and loves people, so I expect he'll adjust without too much trouble if he feels safe and loved. He's used to 2 (45-minute) walks a day, which I'd like to continue while I'm away. Also, a minimum amount of gardening would be appreciated just so things don't get too far out of control.
