Absolutely must love dogs because my dog will love you and will probably be obsessed with you.

About the house: The house is a 1250 square-foot one-story home in the “Third Addition” neighborhood in Pacific Grove.
Remodeled in 2007, there are hardwood floors throughout the house, the kitchen has a vaulted ceiling, marble counter tops and a dishwasher, and there is a large washer and dryer at the house.
This is a safe, friendly, quiet neighborhood and peaceful home.
Less than a mile from Lover's Point and a half mile from downtown PG.
Easy access to the rec trail, giving you access to everything from PG to Seaside via bike ride along the coast.
About me: I'm a male in my mid-40s.
I hold a degree in engineering but I work as a jiu-jitsu instructor.
I have a 8-year old pit bull who is incredibly friendly and a big goof ball.
I'm easy-going but enjoy a tranquil living environment.
About the dog: If you love dogs, you'll probably find Zeus to be very endearing.
If you're not a dog person, it would not be a good living experience for either of us.
He's in his crate when I'm not here so you wouldn't need to worry about him while I'm not home.
Type of household: Expect the household to have an “academic” type of energy; not a TV/music/party environment.
I don't have cable or even a TV and I don't want a TV in the living room.
I do occasionally watch a movie or show on the laptop.
However, I'm very conscientious about noise and volume, and any roommates would need to be considerate about this as well.
Looking for roommates who are respectful, considerate, and relatively quiet.
We must be on the same page about cleaning up after ourselves, and doing our best to be harmonious co-habitants.
Things like wiping down the counters after cooking, for example, are some basics of being a considerate roommate.
Want people who prefer a relatively clean house, and would be interested in splitting chores if needed.
This is not the right fit for someone looking for the “hangout house” to bring friends to.
If I hang with my friends, I do it at their place or somewhere out of the house.
I'd like that to be the rule of thumb here.
That said, you're more than welcome to share the common areas of the house, as this will be your home too.
If you have a significant other, they are welcome to come over and stay the night, but not more than 3 nights a week so it doesn't feel like he/she's living here too.
Other than that, no overnight guests are allowed.
As any issues arise, we should feel free to approach each other to express concerns and handle them amicably.
