🐾 About Us (Important!)

We’re a married couple working in hospitality (chef + part-time dance movement psychotherapy student). We live a chill, food-loving, creative life — not party people.

We share our home with:
• 1 Staffy dog (Dot) – very loving
• 2 rescue cats (one indoor, one kitchen/garden)

Pets are family, so you must be genuinely comfortable living with animals.

👤 Who We’re Looking For
• Clean, quiet, non-smoker
• Professional, emotionally mature, common sense
• Not a party person, no drugs
• Single occupant only (no couples, no frequent overnight guests)
• Pet-friendly and mindful of safety
• LGBT+ friendly (we’re a female married couple)

We’d love someone we genuinely get on with — happy to share a meal sometimes but also comfortable doing your own thing.
