27 yo Female w/ 2 cats Seeking Affordable Housing

My name is Kristin. I am a 27 year old woman looking for cheaper housing alternatives so I can save up a little money. I have 2 cats who are both a bit shy but extremely well-mannered. I have a pretty demanding job (mostly in-office) and work a lot during the week. I like to spend time outside whenever possible. I go for walks most nights throughout the week when it's nice outside. I also love to cook and would do more of it if I had more kitchen space and perhaps a dishwasher. I'm hoping that by being open to renting a room or finding roommates, I can gain a little more common space.
