Long-time local 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 healthcare advisor and former nurse, and Conrad, a retired federal police officer, along with General Manager Danielle, drawing on 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 healthcare, 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,” says Amy. “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.”
