Home Description

Description of the home

If you love animals, but don’t have any of your own, this is the place for you. Both the cats and the dog are super loving, and I take care of all the animal maintenance. So all the hugs with none of the responsibilities - win win!

Huge lounge room and backyard - with a veggie patch. There’s also a big shed and a greenhouse out back if you’re into woodworkin, gardening or need a place to stash surfboards or excess furniture.

Kitchen is stocked with pots and pans and all that fun stuff, but there’s also a heap of cupboard space if you have stuff to add. I have a fridge that we can share, but previous housemates have brought their own.

I also have a washing machine + dryer so no trips to the laundromat 🎉

I’ve converted the little 3rd bedroom as a home office that you can also set up in for work/study/craft.

About the occupants
I’m Nat, and I’ve got a room to rent in my house in Forest Hill. You’ll be living with me and my three pets (2 cats + 1 dog).

I’m in my 30’s and work full time in marketing. I’m hybrid remote/from home, so I get to spend half the week at home with the pets. I’m an active person, an animal lover, and like having friends over for pizza + games/TV every now and again. I go climbing + yoga a couple of times a week and have just started diving.

I’m also one of those creatives crafty types so in my spare time (whatever that is) I enjoy making clothes, doodling or bringing the garden to life.
Compatible people
Must be an animal lover and non-smoker - these are deal breaker. Ideal housemate is someone chill and tidy who loves big dog cuddles. Bonus points if you’re keen to help out with the garden 🪴
Description of pets
The pets are:
- Kit the cat. The fluffy man of the house who has the loudest purrs in the world. Very passionate about food.
- Leeloo the small girl cat loves cuddles and even belly scritches. She’s also best friends with the dog - which is pretty cute.
- Cujo the Rottweiler who is a big teddy bear. She’s a sweet girl who loves pats, people and squeaky balls.
