No dietary restrictions in the house — all diets welcome as long as you're respectful of others
Peaceful, non-party home
No smoking or weed inside the house
No additional pets — there is already a very affectionate cat who loves people and will cuddle, sit on your lap, and lick your face and hands! You must be okay with that level of attention 🐱

👤 Looking for:

Clean and tidy (not just "I do dishes eventually")
Quiet, respectful, and considerate
Grad student or young professional (ideally 25+ and a female)
Not a hoarder or loud socializer — think cozy evenings, not wild parties
Comfortable with cats and okay with there being just one pet in the house

🙋‍♀️ About Me (Your Future Roommate): Hi! I'm a 29-year-old woman who’s laid-back, clean, and fairly introverted. I work/study and enjoy reading books, going on walks, and trying new cafes. Summer favorites include picnics and ice cream trips. I'm not very social at home, but I’m friendly and open to occasional hangouts if we click. I value personal space, cleanliness, and mutual respect.
