I’m a 48-year-old responsible working professional and housekeeper by trade, looking for a calm, welcoming shared home. My work is physically demanding, and I have some chronic conditions (arthritis in my shoulders, plantar fasciitis), so I value a home environment that supports my health and well-being. I enjoy painting, reading, cooking, binge-watching TV, church, and keeping indoor spaces tidy and organized. I naturally contribute to maintaining a clean, comfortable home. I have a small, calm, 12-year-old dog who requires a fenced yard for safe access. Looking For: A peaceful, respectful roommate situation with: Mutual trust and autonomy (no micromanaging) Shared spaces that feel genuinely welcoming Clean and organized living Friendly but independent roommate Similar life stage (approx. 43–53 preferred) Home & Practical Needs: All-inclusive rent (utilities included) Laundry access (in-unit or on-site) Parking included Dedicated fridge & freezer space Pantry/storage space Fenced yard for dog Snow removal and lawn care handled by landlord or service (not my responsibility) Guests & Social Flexibility: Occasional friends or family visits welcome Overnight guests flexible with communication Not a party house — just normal adult flexibility Dog Requirements: Must genuinely like dogs Occasional help letting her out if I’m delayed (happy to reciprocate) Why This Works for Me: I contribute heavily to indoor housekeeping and shared areas, but due to physical limitations, I do not take on outdoor maintenance. This arrangement allows me to come home to a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where I can relax and enjoy my hobbies, friends, and creative time. Budget: ~$1,000/month (flexible for the right fit)
