Meet the Team Behind Woofie’s

At the core of Woofie’s of Annapolis are owners Amy and Conrad Manlapaz, who bring a wealth of experience and a genuine love for animals to their new venture. Amy, a former healthcare advisor and nurse, understands the importance of well-being—both for humans and their pets. Conrad, a retired federal police officer, adds a unique perspective to the business, emphasizing safety and trust. Together, they are joined by Danielle Hernandez, the General Manager, who boasts over 15 years of experience in sales and operations within the pet industry.

This dynamic trio is committed to delivering personalized pet care services that cater to the unique needs of each pet and their owner. Woofie’s of Annapolis offers a comprehensive range of services, including mobile pet grooming, dog walking, and both daytime and overnight pet sitting. Additionally, they provide 24/7 vet telehealth support through a partnership with Pet Vet Connection, ensuring that pet owners have access to professional advice whenever they need it. Their services extend to a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, parrots, and even turtles.

“After many years in healthcare, we’ve seen the joy pets bring into people’s lives,” said Amy Manlapaz. “We wanted to create a business that delivers high-quality pet services, helping others experience the same positive impact pets have on well-being. We’re excited to connect with the local community and their pets at our grand opening events.”
