Hello,

My partner and I are currently looking for a place to move into as of July, wondering anyone may know of something suitable or have something they might like to rent to us.

We are both working professionals and have 2 cats and a dog who are all house trained. Dog is crate trained and is usually with us if we are out. He’s only at home without us a couple hours a day where our work schedules overlap. Doesn’t require a fenced outdoor space, just a little room for him to do his business as we take him out with us most places. I’m happy to provide references for all the pets.

Currently living in a studio apartment so size isn’t a big issue as long as there is room for our things and we’re not party people, preferring to sit in with a good movie or book than go out.

If you might be able to help, please let us know.

Thank you!
