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 are 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, 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, riding motorcycles, 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, 7-year-old cockapoo named Daisy. 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.
Elizabeth Alhussameah
Elizabeth grew up with dogs, cats, gerbils and birds. She has 5 human children, 3 birds, a dog (Oliver), and a cat (Oreo). She loves being able to take care of animals and help them, and she especially enjoys the cuddles. She feels it’s important that her children are able to grow up around all these wonderful animals. Elizabeth is extremely grateful that she is able to get out and take her dog for walks and spend time playing with him and all the pups around the neighborhood.
Hailey Vuong
Hailey has always had a love for animals. She grew up fostering puppies and eventually ended up keeping 2 of them that are now her own! Hailey has a lot of experience with animals due to spending so much time around them growing up. She has loved training her dogs to do all kinds of tricks and has dog-sat for numerous families over the years. Aside from her love for animals, Hailey enjoys playing guitar, baking, exercising, and also participates in lacrosse and works backstage for theatre productions at her school. She can’t wait to meet your furry companion!
