I have a comfortable 3 bedroom house and garden with a small black pomeranian dog, Monty, who is 5 years old. He uses his own door to go inside and out but is always in at night. His bed is in my bedroom but he also likes sleeping on the end of my bed when I let him. Although I am home a lot he is quite OK with someone who is out all day. Although he likes a walk it is not essential as he gets plenty of exercise running around my big garden.
I have no lawn but lots of trees and shrubs. As it will be winter there should be no maintenance.
I have Wi Fi and central heating.
