My advice is to see if you can take your dog to someone that has other yorkies that you can pay to babysit your dog. I have a lady that has three of her own and to earn extra cash watches yorkies. She has been doing this for years and is very particular with shots and so forth, she has very secure backyard as well. Or perhaps some one could stay at your house. Check with your vet, and even other vets in your area, look on the YTCA website and perhaps there is a Maltese breed club in your area, call them to check if they know of anything, that's how I found my gal, my old breeder told me about her. Also perhaps someone from here in your area might do that. There was a thread not to long ago where someone was asking about this and a YT member contacted her and wound up watching the dog. Also if you do find someone my advise is to do a trial run while you are home for one night and see how your pups do.
If I can not travel with Lola but my husband is home, I still take her to the yorkie sitters house, LOL my husband is gone a lot but more importantly he refuses to learn how to put Lola's top knot in a pony tail, my sitter does a new one every day and even brushes her every few days
