Room for rent in spooky old house

Looking for a tidy roommate in the South View neighborhood. The room is mostly furnished with a private half bath and walk-in closet on the second floor. Furniture includes a queen-sized bed, dresser, side table, and wingback chair. A full shared bathroom with a walk-in shower (no tub!) is on the first floor. Internet, power, and water are included. The house has a furnace for the first floor and window units for AC. All appliances are available for use (washer, dryer, dishwasher, gas oven, etc.) There’s also a large fenced yard.

I work from home, am a hobby maker, and live a pretty quiet life. I’m quiet but friendly and my home is my safe space, so I need someone who won’t disrupt my peace. I would love to find another creative spirit to share some space with. My partner is often here for extended stays and is quite similar, though he prefers to be outside. Must love animals as I currently have a dog, 2 cats, and a foster dog. Additional pets are welcome, but dogs will likely be difficult as mine is reactive.

The house is full of weird art, mannequins, and animal bones. It would be a bonus if you’re open to caring for the pets when I’m out of town a few times per year.
