I am trying to express the range and domain of a function with set builder notation. The domain is easy to express because it's just $\{x:x\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\{-1\}\}$, but the range is $y=(-\infty,-1)\cup(0,\infty)$ and I'm not sure how to express that $y$ is all real numbers outside of $[-1,0]$.

Use inequalities or the "different" sign. For instance the domain could be $\{x\in \mathbb R : x\neq 1\}$.
