About the occupants
Hi, I’m Marcus,
I’m a friendly, upfront & honest guy equally comfortable socialising in a group, having a quiet night in front of the TV or sitting alone in the backyard listening to the wind in the trees...I’m very much a homebody and spend most of my time in front of the tv or a good movie with my dog (Buddy)
I’m a Correctional Officer/Prison Guard and after spending almost 10yrs working in prisons I need to come home to my sanctuary...a safe place offering comfort & warmth, empathy & understanding, acceptance, tolerance, love & laughter.
I like to entertain & enjoy having people in my home to share life’s little moments with.
I’m considerate & respectful of one’s personal space, privacy & property and expect the same in return.
Compatible people
My dog, Buddy & I are looking for a friendly & social guy/girl that loves & understands dogs to share our home with...must be clean & tidy, if you are a trustworthy person, respectful & considerate of another’s personal space/privacy/property and after a room you can make a home then we could be the place for you😊
Description of pets
I am a “single Dad”, my boy (Buddy - 7yr old male Japanese Spitz dog) is my world
He’s fully obedience & house trained but he’s also a bloody good guard dog, he’ll bark at people/noises/etc until he’s told to stop (occasionally he talks back after he’s told to stop just like children do😊)
aside from that he’s a quiet & very gentle boy
