$280/week•28 year old woman
Hi, my name is Ellie! Basically I am just another kiwi who grew up in Brisbane, I am pretty easy - going, laidback and quiet, I *am an introvert so I do tend to keep to myself but I am keen to meet new people, keen to live with friendly people and don't mind a chat/drink occasionally. I enjoy playing music, reading, singing and ofc spending time with my friendly Labrador Retriever pup, Katara ( have written more about her, her behaviours/training further down ).
I'm vegetarian but open to living with omnivores, I grew up in a meat - eating family and my partner eats meat so it is no bother to me. I like a clean, tidy environment, I don't function well in clutter and mess so hoping to move into a household that prioritizes cleanliness, I know we all have busy schedules but I'm open to and willing to contribute to household chores or a chores roster or for us to do our own cleaning of our own separate areas whatever you prefer, and ofc I clean up after myself and my dog.
-Important side note, I am looking for a 1 - storey or a place where I am able to have a room on either the ground floor or up 1 flight of stairs, due to an injury I sustained while working I cannot walk up and down stairs too much and as my dog is growing I want to avoid stairs for her where possible.
I work in Animal Care, vet nurse and experienced stablehand in Brisbane and Sydney for 7 years, animal carer at a rescue farm before moving back to Brisbane where I work part - time as a kennel attendant and I also run my own pet - sitting business hence I am not home sometimes, I pet - sit my clients in their homes and offer doggy daycare in my clients homes, this means that I may not be home for weeks/months at a time and when I have bookings out of home I take Katara with me, she stays with family or she stays with my partner while I am away working, however I am looking to cut back on my pet - sitting this year ( too much driving all over Brisbane ). Preferably looking for a place with pets, my dog loves both other dogs and cats but I am hoping to find a place with another doggy pal for her ( but if not then somewhere with a decent - sized, secure yard will do for her to run and play during the days ).
Transport - I don't have a car right now, working to buy one but in the meantime sometimes I borrow my partner's car when he is not using it, but looking for a place relatively close to public transport. I work part - time at a kennel, pet - sitting, I am in my last year at uni and sometimes do a bit of freelance writing work from home so I'm always doing something whether it is out or at home.
KATARA
My dog is 1yo, female, she grew up with my former housemate's 4yo male German Shepherd and her ragdoll, Blue, due to my work she has been socialised ( safely ) around other animals both cats and dogs since she was 8 weeks so she is a happy, playful girl when she meets other dogs and cats, she absolutely loves them and turns into a sook when they don't want to play with her lol, overall she is a happy, sociable and playful pup but she knows when to settle. I take her out twice a day, (7am/7pm) feed twice a day ( 800am/745pm ) so she has a routine. She is an inside/outside dog, ( as long as the backyard is secure ) when I am not home, or she is inside but likes to have access to outside for toileting and she likes to sunbake, in saying all this I am happy for her to be outside only if you prefer and even better if the backyard is a decent size. She usually sleeps inside with me in my room ( in her crate ) but also happy for her to sleep outside in her crate, ideally undercover if you have an undercover area. She is toilet - trained, crate - trained, inside OR outside during the day. I don't allow her on furniture/beds, I'm strict about cleaning her poo as well since she eats it otherwise. She is also good with kids, ( tested with my niece and my former housemate's niece who lived with us ) she is quiet too and doesn't bark ( unless to alert of people passing by or approaching the house ).
Also looking for somewhere where my partner can come over to visit occasionally, we live apart now and he comes to see me Tuesday nights and weekends and he comes to help me with Katara sometimes, he works 5 days a week and is friendly and respectful.
Thank you for your time!
