PLEASE READ THE REQUIREMENTS BELOW BEFORE RESPONDING. *If this ad is still up, the room is still available. Please respond with the info requested below.*

About me:

I’m a female healthcare professional in my late 30’s, active and healthy-ish (although chocolate and Chipotle burritos are my favorite foods), social drinker and non-smoker. I consider myself a huge nerd (as much of my home decor will show), and co-host a weekly nerdy/queer podcast. I go BIG decorating for Halloween and Christmas, including full Star Wars Christmas scenes and Hocus Pocus/Jack Skellington displays. I love sports, videography, editing and doing other creative stuff. I’m originally from Texas (Go Cowboys!) but have lived in L. A. for 13 years. I consider myself pretty friendly, and some of my past roommates have become my closest friends. I’m also queer! Just putting that out there.

I have a large, goofy Labrador (Charley) and cat (Duncan). The house stays relatively clean, but if you're a neat freak and can’t stand animal fur, living with two pets probably won't be ideal for you.

REQUIREMENTS (please read all):

- The main reason I’m seeking a roommate is to find someone who will be home some weekdays (or at least early afternoons) and would enjoy having pets around them.
- This means being willing to let the dog out for a quick midday potty break in the yard or short walk, and letting the animals hang around you when I’m gone. Someone with that type of schedule (student, remote work, flexible schedule, etc.) will be REQUIRED.

- I’m looking for someone who LOVES animals, because mine will love you back and want to hang out with you, especially if I’m not home. There will be some dog hair, cat hair, and the occasional hairball, no matter how much I clean, or run around the house with a lint roller.

- The leasing company will perform a standard background check and requires a $45 application fee.

IN YOUR RESPONSE, INCLUDE (a few sentences total is fine):
- Something that indicates you're an animal-lover, with experience around animals.
- If you are home some weekday's/early afternoons
- Why you think this place is a good fit
- Confirm you’re age 24+
- Please do NOT send a generic copy/pasted response. I'm not in a rush to find someone and want to make sure it's a good fit.
- *No Couples or children.
- *No additional pets.
