About occupants
I’m a university-based academic researcher, originally from the US and happily settled in Australia for many years. I keep a fairly steady, low-key routine—enjoy the gym, cycling, reading (mostly history), and spending time in the garden.

I’m easy to live with: respectful of shared spaces, friendly without being intrusive, and value a calm, comfortable home. I enjoy cooking and baking and am always happy to share the occasional meal. I also have two friendly dogs, so being comfortable around dogs is important.

Description of pets
I have a 3yo female Kelpie (Ellie) and a 6yo male staffy (Odin). Both are lovely and friendly dogs who are very happy when people come around (albeit sometimes barky). Both potty trained. Both are spoiled princesses.
