Your pet is a member of your family.  We provide professional pet care in your home when you can’t be there. Vacations, business trips, holidays, long work hours, or illness may interfere with your pet’s routine and care for a period of time. Your pets will be happier at home with Hounds To Horses providing their care, and your home will have a lived in look while you’re away for added security.

Hounds To Horses "officially" began in January 2003. Owners Janean and Bill Huston own a small ranch in the unincorporated west end of Escondido, an area known as Harmony Grove/Eden Valley. They share their home with 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 6 horses.  Bill and Janean met at the stables where they previously boarded their horses.  Both where raised with animals, each bringing 40+ years of animal expertise to the business.

Our team at HOUNDS TO HORSES consists of reliable, loving, and experienced Pet Care Providers! Meet the team:

>>Janean (Owner) is a graduate from San Diego State University, and worked in sales & marketing most of her "corporate" life.  As Janean departed from a career as a Radio Marketing Executive, she turned her energies to her passion for animals, founding Hounds To Horses in 2003. She attended a Pet First Aid class held at the Escondido Humane Society in January 2005.  Janean is Co-President of the House Corporation, which runs the Kappa Delta sorority house at SDSU and in 2008 was the first Non-Pro Rider ever to be elected to the So CA Horseshow Association (SCPHA) Board of Directors.  Additionally, she can often be found at a wide variety of meetings with the goal of maintaining a rural environment in her community.

>>Bill (Co-owner) was raised on 80-acres in Montana.  After retiring with his 20-year from the U.S. Marine Corps at MCAS Miramar, he worked at a Project Manager for a local construction contractor and then was the Assistant Stable Manager at the 44-acre stable located at MCAS Miramar until it's closure.  Now he is a large animal vet assistant with Dr, Linda Barone out of the Rancho Santa Fe area. Add-itionally he shows on the Quarter Horse circuit, plus he pitches in to keep our family business on track! 
 
>>James volunteers as a 4-H advisor and is an encyclopedia when it comes to animals! He also works at Hawthorne Country Feed Store in Escondido, bringing a wealth of animal knowledge to our business.
 
>>Deb has an extensive pet care background, and is an active volunteer with the Escondido Humane Society working with all different animals. 
 
>>Miriam came back to work for us after a year of teaching humans!  She has a vast background in pet care, including horses, dogs, cats and birds. 
 
Our Pet Care Providers listed above are highly trusted, knowledgeable pet sitters that work under the direct supervision of the owner, Janean. Because they are hand picked personally for their love of animals, knowledge and experience in pet care, each Pet Care Provider offers the same high quality care that Hounds To Horses expects for our clients and their pets!  Because we strive to provide only the best sitters available, each has been personally interviewed, trained, reference checked, and are Insured and Bonded for your piece of mind. 

We are proud members of Pet Sitter's International (PSI).  PSI offers educational programs, networking opportunities, product information, business insurance programs, customer referrals and many other services to members and their 50,000+ customers.  With membership in PSI, Hounds To Horses reinforces its dedication to staying current with the issues and trends in the pet industry.  Visit the PSI website at www.PetSit.com
