The dog days of summer are here, and somehow the season is already starting to slip away.

If you've been putting off that weekend getaway, beach day, camping trip, or afternoon adventure, now's the time. Soak up the sunshine, make a few more memories, and enjoy every last bit of summer before the leaves start to change.

Planning one last trip before summer ends? Don't forget to book your pet sitter, too! Our calendar is filling up quickly, so reserve your pet's stay or in-home care today to make sure they're cared for while you're away.

Where's your last summer adventure taking you?

The beauty of this work is that it is always changing. Somedays I’m walking dogs other days I’m syringe feeding a gecko while having a cockatiel supervise from my head.

I’m so late doing this but the sentiment is always there. Today is a very special employees birthday. Happy birthday to my husband, Ethan! He has been so supportive in this new journey and incredibly helpful. Some of your pets may have even met him before. Help me by wishing him a very happy birthday!

You all had a chance to meet me via my last post. It’s time for you all to meet my menagerie of “employees” and the real reason I cannot offer boarding at this time. I have dreams of expanding to a operating a boarding facility soon. Until then, meet the team and their titles!

✨ Meet the Owner ✨

It's been a while since I've introduced myself, and since there are so many new faces here, I thought it was time to share a little about the person caring for your pets, plants, and home.

Hi! I'm Lane, the owner of Hearth and Hound.

I've been an animal enthusiast for as long as I can remember. My first job was at a local family-owned pet store, where I got my first taste of working with both animals and the people who love them. It was there that I learned the importance of customer service, attention to detail, and quality animal care. It also sparked the very first version of my pet-sitting business—though I've certainly grown a lot since those teenage years.

I graduated from Alma College with a degree in Biology and originally planned to become a veterinarian. Instead, my path led me into zookeeping. I completed an internship at Potter Park Zoo and later joined the team as a part-time keeper. During my time there, I cared for everything from mealworm colonies to Black Rhinos. When I say I've worked with all kinds of animals, I truly mean it.

My animal care journey continued at a local shelter, where I used the training techniques I'd learned at the zoo to help dogs develop skills that made their transition into homes smoother and more successful. I especially connected with the shy, sensitive dogs who needed a little extra patience and understanding. That passion eventually led me to adopt our CEO, Minnie.

From there, I had the opportunity to work alongside an incredible dog trainer in Lansing, where I gained a deeper understanding of canine body language and behavior modification. Working with what I lovingly call the "sensitive soybean" dogs taught me that understanding a dog's emotions goes far beyond what I previously thought.

Along the way, I also spent years working in the restaurant industry. From age 19 until last summer, I worked nearly every position imaginable and eventually moved into management. While the experience taught me leadership, organization, communication, and problem-solving, it also helped me realize that my true passion had always been animal care.

So, what do you do when you've climbed near the top of one industry and realize your heart belongs somewhere else?

You quit the salaried job, benefits, and 401(k) and bet on yourself.

That's how Hearth and Hound was born.

Today, I combine years of professional animal care experience, behavior knowledge, customer service, and home care expertise to provide the kind of pet sitting service I always wished existed. I understand that not every pet can be boarded, and some require a level of experience beyond what a well-meaning neighbor can provide.

My goal is simple: open communication, exceptional care, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets and home are in capable hands.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with your furry, feathered, scaled, and plant family members. Your support means more than you know.

I am happy to answer any questions to see if I may be the right fit for your household. You can reach me via Messenger or by email at [email protected]
