Milo:

* Likes: sleeping in the sun, smelly things, pubs, trains, buses, attention, food, rough play and being chased

* Note from owner: Milo has been taught not to beg or approach humans for food. He still tries it on sometimes but will move away when told to do so. He is washed/bathed 1-2x/month - more frequently during shedding seasons.

We’re a social but respectful household, with a balance of shared time and individual space.

What we’re looking for in a housemate:

We’re seeking a mature, considerate professional who’s able to contribute to a relaxed but respectful shared living environment.
• You’re someone who takes care of your personal hygiene and space.
• You’re comfortable with shared responsibilities (bins, dishes, etc.) and don’t need to be reminded to do your part on a frequent basis
• You’re a good and respectful communicator
• Ideally, you’ve lived in shared housing before and understand the basics of living with flatmates.
* Women, non-binary, LGBTQ+ applicants will be considered only, with a preference for 30yo and up

We’re a chill household, but we value living with adults who carry their weight and help maintain a clean, hygienic home.
