Heyo, all! My name’s Chayce, and the pictured pup is Kiseki.
❓ I’m seeking 1+ roomate(s) to search with me for affordable enough pet-friendly housing in North Vancouver for February 1st. Ideally, someone who can also afford around $900 (or more).
I’m also open to a room being offered within my budget, if you think I’d be a good fit.
I’m moving because my current housing situation is ending. I come with loads of fantastic references.
🏡 I’m aiming for somewhere that has access to a backyard for pet and personal use. This means I’m leaning away from apartments, and more towards suites, houses, or partial houses. I’ve toured/contacted some, but all the best spots have 2+ bedrooms. Some are eager for me to apply if I were to get 1 other person!
🐕🧍♂️ I’m a queer, white/settler, disabled guy (he/him) in my mid-thirties. I’m the guardian to a 7-year-old dog named Kiseki, a neutered Shikoku Inu of about 50lbs (medium size).
💚 Primary passions of mine include music (digital production/general listening), video gaming, gardening, sketching, reading, coffee & baked goods, and advocacy for human & animal rights. Going on hikes with Kiseki and appreciating the natural world (particularly birds!) is an easy way for me to find joy; however, I admit that due to chronic health junk: I can be a sleepy, quiet hermit, otherwise.
💪 That doesn’t mean I’m averse to socializing, though! I’m up for chatting, body-doubling, or even going to events in the lower mainland together… when my body allows.
🗣️ I’ve lived with others in a variety of instances throughout my life: friends, partners, and for the last 4 years: a large collective. Considering this, I have experience with loads of communication styles. I prefer to be direct as possible, as soon as possible, within any boundaries that may have already been hashed out between myself and the other person(s).
📑Lastly, some roommate-logistics & bonuses:
• I can’t drive/don’t own a car. More parking space for you, if you do!
• I come with some kitchen appliances, dishes, a toilet bidet, gardening gear, books, and video games to share. I could come with additional furniture to share if asked ASAP, as the house I’m leaving needs to get rid of a bunch.
• I’m covid/infectious-disease-conscious. Doing what I can to prevent any spread is important to me.
• I’m vegan, but don’t push it on others. If you eat/live with animal products, that’s fine! Kiseki isn’t vegan, and he’s lived with me his whole life. 😝
• Kiseki can be wary of new dogs, people, and things. Many have described him as “much more cat-like than dog-like.” He’s lived with a couple different dogs in the past without issue, after gradual introduction. He’d love a furry wrestling/zoomie partner, once acclimated!
Please don’t hesitate to message me ASAP if you’ve got questions, are interested, or both! Tell me about yourself if you have more than just a screening question for me, so that we can get to know one another. Thanks for reading.
