Hi, I’m Laney! 👋🏻

Founder of Hound & Homestead

I have been an animal lover my entire life. My love of dogs (especially hounds) started when I was about three years old and would run over to the neighbor's house to play with Duke, their sweet, floppy-eared beagle. I was fortunate to live on a farm where animals were everywhere! That's where horses became my passion.

I attended Hocking College and obtained a degree in Equine Health & Complementary Therapies and Wilderness Horsemanship. Following college, I started working in small animal medicine and worked for over ten years as a veterinary assistant. During that time, I got married, became a mama to two sweet girls, three hounds, one kitty, and six chickens! My life is still centered around caring for animals, just a little differently now.

I have been pet sitting for several years and love it! I have made so many new friends, both 2-legged and 4-legged. My passion is caring for them and loving them, just as you would if you were there!
