About Us
We are a veteran spouse-owned company, and our entire team consists of animal lovers. Our team members undergo thorough background checks and are certified in animal first aid. In addition, we care for avian and exotic pets for no additional charge and have experience with rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, parrots, reptiles, and fish.
Our Story
Woodbridge Pet Care was formed in late 2021 and began operation in April of 2022 when Heather, our owner, took over Happy Houlas (where she was working) because the owner moved.
Meet The Team
Heather Gann,
Owner
Heather and her husband Matt have been the lucky pawparents to multiple rescued animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, and a parrot! She has always been an animal lover and was fortunate enough to leave her career as a speech therapist and begin her career as a pet caregiver in June of 2021. She took over the business in April of 2022. She has experience with multiple medical issues, including diabetes, collapsing trachea, renal disease, blindness, dementia, DIM, adrenal disease, and insulinoma. She is trained and experienced in administering oral and ophthalmic medications, sub q injections for insulin, intramuscular injections for various medications, tube feeding, and giving subcutaneous fluids. She also has extensive experience with aggressive, fearful, and unsocialized animals. When she’s not busy caring for the Woodbridge family of pets, she stays occupied as a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for the Commonwealth of Virginia, focusing her efforts on squirrels, possums, snakes, and rodents. When she’s not caring for animals, she enjoys cooking, traveling, and playing board games.
Kelly May
Kelly is a native Pennsylvanian, but has lived in Virginia since graduating from Penn State many years ago. She has a degree in education and was an elementary school teacher prior to being afforded the opportunity to stay home and raise her family. Kelly has had various pets throughout her life, including dogs, a guinea pig, a hamster, and fish. But her true love is dogs. She currently has a sweet cockapoo named Daisy and a ferocious puppy named Tucker. In her free time, Kelly enjoys working out, reading, and watching sports. At night and on the weekends, you can find her at a ball field or a swimming pool cheering on her 2 active teenage boys.
Nicole McGee
Nicole is originally from Massachusetts and has lived in Virginia since 2021. She is a
USMC spouse of 27 years. She graduated with a degree in Psychology, but many
moves and multiple overseas tours put her career on hold. It all worked out as it
afforded her the opportunity to stay at home to raise her two children. She currently has
a yellow labrador retriever (Mattis) and previously had a yellow lab (Finnegan) and a
black lab (Seamus). She and her family also raised and trained a service dog for an
amazing organization, Mutts with a Mission while living in Norfolk, VA. In her spare
time, you can find her walking her own dog, watching her daughter play field hockey
and lacrosse and watching her son play basketball. She also enjoys traveling and
hiking in Prince William Forest with her family and of course Mattis.
Jody Allen
Jody is originally from Iowa and has lived in Virginia since 2015. She is an army wife of 22 years. She graduated with a degree in Social Work, but jokes that she "retired" to be a stay-at-home mom when her oldest was born. She has two human children, 2 dogs (a labradoodle-Harper and a wondermutt-Emma), 2 cats (King and Maddy), and some fish. In her spare time, you can usually find her watching her kids play sports (field hockey, wrestling, softball, and soccer) or just hanging out with family and friends.
