My husband and I are going away for 37 days and we need someone to stay and house sit for us and look after our 2 little dogs. We live in a over 55's resort style living place. We live about 40 minutes from Nelson Bay, and Newcastle is about 15 minutes away, and you can get the ferry from Stockton to Newcastle which takes about 2 minutes. Where we live we have tennis courts, lawn bowls, an indoor swimming pool with a spa. It is purely for over 55's so that makes it very relaxing. We have our lawns mowed so really not much needs to be done around the house, except a bit of watering of some plants. We would like to go away and enjoy our time and not worry about the dogs, knowing they are in good hands.
