Capital Home Veterinary Care
Capital Home Veterinary Care was founded by Dr. Erin Dexter DVM in 2007.
Dr. Dexter is a 2003 graduate of the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She received her Bachelors of Science Degree with Honors in Biology from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in Lynchburg, Virginia. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Virginia Veterinary Medical Association and the Veterinary Information Network.
Dr. Dexter grew up on a farm in New England with many horses, goats, chickens, dogs and cats. She has worked as a small animal and equine veterinarian since graduation. She lives in Powhatan with her husband Matt, their two daughters Sydney and Abigail, their Rhodesian Ridgeback Reuben, Boston Terriers Benson and Barbary, and three kitties Manny, Minny and Stewart. Also on the farm are a miniature donkey named Dunkey, a Nubian goat named Sprinkles, and 5 chickens.
In 2007, after years of practicing in veterinary hospitals, Dr. Dexter founded Capital Home Veterinary Care LLC, a housecall practice, with the goal of providing exceptional veterinary care at an affordable price in the comfort of home.
“I started this practice because I wanted to offer a more personalized service for pet owners and a less stressful experience for their pets.”
Dr. Jenny Holman grew up in Richmond and is happy to return home after practicing for many years in the New River Valley. She enjoys general practice and has special interest in end of life care. She loves animals of all shapes and sizes and believes that each patient and family is unique and needs their own individual plan. When she isn’t on housecalls, she spends her time walking the trails at the James River, riding her bike, and playing in her stained glass hobby room.

Our team at Capital Home Veterinary Care is filled with great knowledge, bright smiles and good vibes. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Her compassionate confidence helps the animals know they can follow her to the van and their trust will not be broken. Her idea of success in veterinary medicine is empowering clients through education and support. She has become part of our dynamic staff support, personally and professionally.
Allison has spent numerous years working in the veterinary field including private practice, ER, and rescue work. She always strives to advocate for her patients and minimize stress whenever possible. Working for Capital Home Veterinary Care allows me to help animals and ease the stress both clients and their pets feel. Before working in the veterinary field, Allison was a medic in the army and spent many years as a volunteer EMT. In her free time, she is an all-around nerd that enjoys video games, sci-fi, and crafts.
