We have a small residence that we rent as a couple (no children) in Maryland, Newcastle area NSW. We have a 1 year old rotty cross ridgeback who we adore and cant bear to put her in a shelter for that period as she usually sleeps inside and is used to the 'better life'. She has a hip condidtion which makes the winter chill hard for her joints but with daily medication, sleeping in side every night she get along just fine. We also have 2 gold fish who would need to be fed daily. We would suit people interested in being close to Newcastle/Hunter Valley for a few weeks, loves dogs with huge hearts and will be happy to be comfortable in our home until we return from overseas. We are not highly strung people just looking for someone who will care for our baby and our home for the duration of our holiday.
