Elaine and Rudi's hound lounge!
Pet care experience
Hi there! Our names our Elaine and Rudi. We are an animal loving couple living in West Wood . Our pet-friendly house is spacious and has a good size outdoor space! We are loving parents to Bash, our adopted, 4 year old, black and white domestic short-hair kitty who loves meeting new friends of all breeds, He is very easygoing, sleeps A LOT while cherishing playtime, and occasionally accompanies his mom to the park on nice days (see picture). While rudy works full time as a children's yoga instructor, I mostly only work In the evenings about the time Rudi comes back from work. Both Rudi and I grew up with dogs our whole lives and have not been able to have any since moving to the city and we want to change that! From Friday through Sunday evenings and during major holidays, we make ourselves available for 24/7 care and plenty of long walks and cuddles. As people who would do almost anything for our pets, we know all too well how emotional it is to leave your pups in the care of someone else and understand the importance of choosing a petsitter that is reliable, responsive and accommodating, so we pride ourselves with providing many neighborhood pups, and potentially yours with unconditional love, quality care and safety under our roof for the duration of their stay. We know it’s quite difficult to leave your pup behind to their own vacay. Rest assured that you will receive plenty of pupdates, pictures, and videos so you won’t have to spend time worrying about your pup, but rather enjoy your time away! For the safety of your pup(s) and ours, we can only host pets who are friendly, and have been vaccinated. Puppies and k9s with special needs are accepted on a case by case basis based on temperament and availability. Please message us directly to inquiry whether we can accommodate your pup's needs. To determine whether your pup is a good fit and to ensure him/her the best and most comfortable experience, please request a Meet-n-Greet on our page. New guests are required to schedule a brief Meet-n-Greet, before a reservation is accepted. Thank you for stopping by our page and we hope to meet you and your best friend soon!
Reviews
Elaine and Rudi were wonderful. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them as I could tell that Elaine and Rudi love animals. They were also very flexible and understanding when my plans changed due to unforeseen weather and flight cancellations. They were very communicative when my dogs were with them, sending plenty of photos and videos. I saw my dogs having the time of their lives in Elaine and Rudi’s wonderful yard, followed by photos of my dogs feeling right at home snuggled up on the couch with Elaine and Rudi. They are great sitters, I highly recommend!
Scrappy looks like he had a great time again thanks to Elaine! Looking forward to our next visit! Thank you!
Elaine was wonderful with our older dog and he had some great fun and interactions! He needed medications too, which were taken care of by Elaine, and got in some walks I hear! We received cute pics of our dog resting and relaxing, which was great. Looking forward to having our dog visit with Elaine again in the near future! Highly recommend!
Reached out to Elaine and Rudi last minute for a long weekend stay and are we glad to have found them! They were super responsive to my texts and were able to accommodate our super early pickup time. They'd send me daily picture updates on what my dog Taro did during the stay. Their cat Bash is super chill, even left Taro his fish plush toy because Taro seems to like it more (lol). Thank you Elaine and Rudi for the great time!

I have a nice fenced yard and a doggy door leading out. We never leave dogs unsupervised for long and always take time either before leaving them in the house unattended to make sure they are comfortable.

Information Elaine N. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know ahead of time if your pup has any special needs so we can make sure that we are able to give them the care they deserve. We almost always require a meet and greet at our house so we can meet you and your pup and give Bash (our cat) the chance to give his opinion.
A typical day
We love dogs and therefore love to have fun with them by playing in the backyard, taking walks, hikes, or going to the local dog park.

My boyfriend and I both work from home and love cuddles in between meetings and calls :). We also take walks and make sure to get outside during the day even when we do not have boarding pups because it is good for our physical and mental health, but having a pup with us doing these things makes it even more satisfying :)
