  • Description

    Description

    We are Todd and Bronwyn, we live in a semi-rural community and have a 2-acre block of Land an hour and a half out of Sydney, I (Bronwyn) work at a bank and split my time between home and the office. Todd works in in the mining industry occasionally spending time away due to work. We have three grown kids that have left the house. We also have a dog Axel who is a 4 year old boxer cross lab. Most of your help will involve the care of him whilst we are away. We would also love for some help around the yard and in the house as it is too much our selves.

    Profile photo of Axel

    Axel (4 years)

    Axel is a 4 year old Boxer x Lab. He is a very sweet natured boisterous boy, often choosing to lay around the house and snooze all day. He can be very energetic at times loving to run around the backyard. He is currently adjusting to being the lone dog of the house so he can be a bit of a scaredy cat without his friend to protect him.
