Arrangement description
I would prefer to have the option to pay for a personal housing space with a bit of my own earth to mold alongside my two pups. There are times I can accomplish more, and would love to have the opposite or middleground option to help out in exchange for some or all rent. I'm quiet, polite and respectful and ask the same in return. I appreciate clear communication of needs and expectations in both directions. I'm looking for at least a trial followed by something longer term, a couple of years minimum is likely.

I don't currently have practices, but if I needed to do things a certain way, then I'm happy to learn and oblige.

Additional Information
I am 36, with two well behaved ESA dogs. I have my own transportation and am currently employed. I don't have a lot of personal time, and I struggle to find time for self growth during what I do have, but I am ready to step away from the busy cities and try to learn something new and discover who I can be for the rest of my life.
