Hello! I'm a teacher and a writer with a well-behaved dog. We look at our home as our "sanctuary" and treat it as such. Here's our wish list: a detached in-law/garden suite; 1-2 BR; affordable and fair rent that includes all utilities with cable/internet; wood floors (no carpet); a bit of extra storage space; en suite washer/dryer; enclosed yard, and maybe a small area for gardening; peace, quiet, safety, and privacy. What will you get? Someone who treats your home like it's her own. I'm quiet, clean, responsible, and friendly. My dog is quiet, too (she's 5 years old). Ideally, we'd like to find a place by Dec. 1st or Jan. 1st. We're in no rush to be out of the rental that we're in right now, and we will wait for the right place. Open to any neighbourhood in Victoria, as well as rural Saanich and Metchosin.
