Hello!
I am looking for a place to stay for the upcoming school year and possibly longer and am open to any gendered roommate. I am a mature (24 year old) 2nd year UVIC student who is taking the Child and Youth Care Program. I am very dedicated to my studies, so I spend quiet a bit of time in my room studying or at school for classes. I have 2 part time jobs as well, so I am a fairly busy person.
In my down time I enjoy rock climbing, watching Netflix, going on random adventures, and reading books. I enjoy the occasional drink after school or work, but am not a party person. I am a fairly tidy person, and prefer the communal spaces be kept half decently clean.
I come with my 2 trusty ferret companions. I have a large cage for them. I do prefer to let them out of their cage when I am home and watching them, but if that is not an option, I take them out to fields to play so they can run. They are both litter trained, and I clean their cage every day as they live in my room with me.
I have references upon request and am open to a credit check and criminal record check. I am also willing to do an exchange of child care or pet care for a reduced rent.
I am looking to start renting September 1st, but would be able to start paying August 1st for the right fit.
Shoot me an email, text, or give me a call if I sound like a fit for you!
