We are a retired professional couple of scientists. Our son is a new professor at UW in Evolutionary Biology and we are relocating from Asheville, NC, to be near our family. We are putting our current home on the market in October, 2023 and are looking for a rental house in Madison while we look for a new house to purchase. I graduated from UW and my wife, Rachel Muir graduated from IU. My credit score from Experian, last week was 758. We have dogs and are looking for a house that allows dogs and preferably has a fenced in back yard. Our dogs are Golden Doodles and are well behaved, hypoallergenic and do not shed. We would appreciate the use of a garage. Utilities included is preferred but is negotiable. We have allergies to cats and cigarette smoke. We can perform housesitting functions except for pet care as we already have 2 dogs and cannot guarantee a positive interaction. Location is flexible, although the west side is preferred as that where our kids have purchased a home. House size is flexible although we would prefer something large enough for both of us to maintain an office. I graduated from UW in Medical Physics and worked at Medical Centers in the Midwest until being recruited by the FDA-Medical Devices division in 2007. Rachel graduated from IU in Ecology and has worked as a consultant and for various federal agencies until retiring from the US Geological Survey. She is a retired board member of the American Horticultural Society and has conducted international tours as a naturalist

Rachel's is an Ecologist and her career has included consulting and many federal agencies, finally retiring from the US Geological survey. Our son is a new professor at UW and we are relocating to Madison from Asheville, NC. We have two friendly, housebroken 6 year old Golden Doodles. My Credit score last week from Experian is 758. We are looking for a rental house beginning this fall (2023) and running through spring. We are looking for a flexible lease as we will be actively looking for a new home, We will give at least 1 month notice before leaving. We would like a house with a garage and fenced in backyard. Preferably non-smoking. We are able to perform basic house sitting duties. I am allergic to cats, so houses with cat occupants can not be considered. Thank you Lauren Hefner lhefner@yahoo.com
