Roommate Needed but Apps Suck

Housing/Apartments

Hello, I (30F) live in a three bedroom house and a friend or now an ex friend of mine that was going to move in backed out at the last second. Been trying to get someone to take the 3rd bedroom for a month now.

All the roommate finder apps and sites suck! They ask for ridiculous payments in order to even talk to potential roommates and the people I talk to ghost every other day. The house has a dishwasher, central air conditioning, street parking, it came with a stove and fridge. You need a code to access the front door but the other doors have a key. I have 2 medium dogs and my roommate (25M) has 2 cats.

I've tried finding facebook groups that do roommate finding but each one I go through is full of landlords showing off grand places so i am unsure if the place would even stick out well enough. Small room that can fit a large bed and two large pieces of furniture or a small bed with four large pieces of furniture. I'm just using measurement comparisons to my own things.

I've used roomster, roomies, iroomit, roomi, roommates, spareroom, craigslist and facebook so far. What is something that is actually good and free?
