Woofie's Expands Pet Care Services in Baltimore County with Grand Opening Events

Woofie's of North Baltimore-Owings Mills has officially launched its premier pet care services for dog, cat, and other animal owners across Baltimore County, including Glyndon, Owings Mills, Pikesville, Randallstown, Reisterstown, and Stevenson. The business is celebrating its grand opening with a week-long series of community events beginning September 7th, marking its entry into the local pet care market.

Operated by long-term Baltimore County residents Kelley Gludt and her husband Rob, the franchise builds on Kelley's two decades of non-profit and early-education leadership experience, along with her 20 years as a rabbi, which she says enhances her ability to foster relationships and manage diverse teams. The couple, who live with their teenage son and business partner Romi, plus their Border Collie and various other pets, selected Woofie's after evaluating multiple franchise opportunities.

The grand opening events include participation in the Reisterstown Festival Parade on September 7th from 9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., where the mobile grooming spa and team will be present. On September 10th, Woofie's will attend the Northwest Chamber of Commerce Farmers Market at the Hilton Garden Inn-Owings Mills, offering Farmer's Dog treats and complimentary nail trimming from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The celebration culminates on September 13th at the Baltimore Humane Society DogFest from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring mini grooming services for purchase, showcases of the state-of-the-art mobile spa, free samples from Farmer's Dog, and a raffle for a $100 grooming gift certificate.

Woofie's distinguishes itself by providing 24/7 veterinary telehealth services through a collaboration with Pet Vet Connection, offering pet owners peace of mind and immediate access to professional advice. This location joins other Maryland Woofie's franchises in Columbia, Annapolis, Bel Air, Bethesda, and Gaithersburg, expanding the brand's footprint in the state. Kelley emphasized that the franchise's scalable, service-oriented model and kind-hearted culture aligned with their goals, focusing on serving Baltimore County's diverse community with expert grooming, pet sitting, and dog walking services.

As part of its growth plans, Woofie's of North Baltimore-Owings Mills is seeking to expand its staff for grooming, pet walking, and sitting roles, with applications accepted through the Woofie's website. Founded in 2004 and franchising since 2018, Woofie's is the first and only franchise in the professional pet care industry to combine pet sitting, dog walking, and mobile spa services, with 67 locations currently operating across 25 states. The brand is part of Authority Brands, a Columbia, Maryland-based company that supports multiple home service franchises, further details of which can be found at www.authoritybrands.com.
