Pasadena Residents Launch Woofie's Of Annapolis, A Mobile Pet Care Business

Woofie’s of Annapolis is rolling out pet care services for owners of dogs, cats, and other animals in the Chesapeake Bay communities of Pasadena, Gibson Island, Annapolis, Arnold, Crofton, Crownsville, Davidsonville, Edgewater, Gambrills, Harwood, Mayo, Millersville and Riva.

Longtime Pasadena residents and Woofie’s of Annapolis owners Amy and Conrad Manlapaz and general manager Danielle Hernandez have organized a series of local events to formally introduce their new business to the community.

Amy, a health care advisor and former nurse, and Conrad, a retired federal police officer, along with Danielle Hernandez, drawing on over 15 years in sales and operations in the pet industry, look forward to providing personalized pet care services with Woofie’s of Annapolis. Services include grooming with the fully-equipped Woofie’s of Annapolis mobile pet spa, dog walking, and daytime and overnight pet sitting. The company also offers 24/7 vet telehealth support through a partnership with Pet Vet Connection. Services are available for all types of family pets including cats, parrots and turtles.

“After many years in health care, we’ve witnessed the profound joy that pets bring into people’s lives. This inspired us to launch a business dedicated to providing high-quality pet services so others can experience the same positive impact that pets have on well-being,” Amy said. “Our deep love for animals is the driving force behind opening our Woofie’s location. Their commitment to prioritizing pets and providing the highest standards of care aligns perfectly with our values. We’re thrilled to connect with the local community and their pets at our grand opening events and look forward to hosting additional activities to support the area.”

Woofie’s of Annapolis will participate in the following local events:

• Barktoberfest on October 5 from 11:00am to 7:00pm at 1906 Towne Centre Boulevard in Annapolis. This event will feature a variety of pet-related activities, vendor booths, and opportunities for the community to interact with local businesses, and a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the SPCA of Anne Arundel County. Woofie’s of Annapolis will serve as a judge for the crowd-favorite dog fashion and costume show and offer free nail trims, ear cleanings, and teeth brushing, along with giveaways such as dog treat balls, food scoopers, and clips, while supplies last. Additionally, the company will host a free raffle for pet care services. Partnering with The Farmer’s Dog, Woofie’s of Annapolis will offer free dog jerky and fresh food samples, and attendees will have the opportunity to sign up for a free week of The Farmer’s Dog food.
  
  
• The K9 run supports local first responder K9 units through a local nonprofit organization, a cause that holds special significance for the Manlapaz family, as co-owner Conrad is a former federal police officer. At the event, Woofie’s of Annapolis will showcase its mobile spa van and offer Wash ‘n Go baths and Paw Pad treatments at cost, with all proceeds benefiting the Chesapeake K9 Fund. Additionally, the company will hold a raffle for a gift certificate, redeemable for pet sitting or grooming services.
