Room in Charleston, SC

I am a retired veterinarian and have been sharing my home with a young woman who will be relocating soon. I've enjoyed this experience - like the companionship and the occasional help when I go out of town. I have travel plans that will involve travel, usually for no more than 2 weeks at a time that are at irregular intervals, generally months apart. During my absence it would be expected that the renter care for my animals (2 dogs, 1 cat and 6 chickens) and also keep any plants watered as needed. I lead a very quiet life, enjoy my home, cooking and tending my garden. I also am. an active member of a number of naturalist organizations and am a certified master naturalist. These interests mean that I take a lot of day trips to different parts of the state. The renter must enjoy animals and be reliable for their care. My home is newly renovated including the private bath and bedroom. All bedrooms are in the same wing of the home, so respect for each others' quiet time is essential.
