Madison

Hi! I'm Madison, I'm 28 and I'm relocating from Brisbane to Sydney for a new role in marketing. I'll be working Monday to Friday, with three days in the office and two days working from home. My move-in date is flexible, so I'm happy to work around the right living arrangement.

I'll also be bringing along my Toy Poodle, Sonny! He's 3 years old, neutered and weighs under 10kg. He's fully toilet trained, doesn't shed hair and is very accustomed to apartment living, having lived with me in a ground-floor apartment for the past three years.

Sonny is a friendly little guy, although he's a bit socially awkward! He's not particularly interested in being patted or picked up and generally prefers to keep to himself. He's not aggressive at all, just a little quirky when it comes to affection. He's also a quiet dog who rarely barks when people are home and doesn't bark at all when left alone.

The main thing to know about Sonny is that he needs access to a balcony or courtyard throughout the day, particularly when nobody is home, so he can go to the toilet. I currently use a renter-friendly sliding door doggy door insert with the flap removed (he's never quite figured out how to use a proper doggy door!). It's a setup that's worked really well for us over the past two years, and I also have a little camera so I can check on him when I'm out. I completely understand that this arrangement won't suit every home, so I'm hoping to find somewhere that's a good fit for both of us.

A little more about me! I'm fairly quiet, easygoing and a bit of an introvert. I really enjoy having my own space and downtime, especially after a busy week at work. On weekends, I like to get out of the house, explore new places, wander around the shops or markets, catch up with friends or take Sonny out for walks or adventures.

I'm always happy to have a chat, share a meal or spend some time with the people I'm living with, but I'm equally happy doing my own thing. I really appreciate living with people who are friendly and considerate while also respecting each other's personal space.

Having a clean and tidy home is also really important to me. I'm someone who likes to keep shared spaces neat and clean up after myself, and I'd love to live with housemates who feel the same way.

I've been living on my own for the past two years, so I'm very used to looking after my own space and being responsible for a household. I'm hoping to find a comfortable, relaxed and welcoming home in Sydney, with housemates who are respectful, easy to get along with and happy to have Sonny around too!

I'm looking forward to starting this next chapter in Sydney and hopefully finding a great place to call home!
