Stephanie Stergis, CPPS, Owner
Stephanie was born and raised in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida, where she always had a furry friend by her side. She moved to North Carolina in 2006 to be closer to her sister and her growing family. In January 2009, she started working at Concord Parkway Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant and a few months later, she began pet sitting with a friend's company, A Family's Best Friend.
Over the years, Stephanie has continued to work at Concord Parkway, as well as two Emergency Vet clinics, which allowed her the opportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge and experience in Veterinary medicine. In 2016, after completing her Associates Degree, Stephanie had built up enough business to start pet sitting full time and realized she'd never been happier! She poured her heart and soul into creating a trustworthy pet care company and was beyond excited to introduce Bows and Bones in October 2017.
Education has always been important to Stephanie and she believes it is a hallmark of professionalism, so she was very excited to complete her Certified Professional Pet Sitter exam from Pet Sitters International in 2019. She also signed her entire team up for PSI's Petsit Pro courses, which gives everyone an opportunity for continuing education.
In her free time, Stephanie enjoys playing piano and guitar, spending time with family and friends, baking, reading, and doing crafts. When she's home, she is surrounded by her four little monsters: Trigger, a Bichon / Shih-Tzu mix; Menni, a sleek short-haired black kitty; Zeppelin, the fluffy little lion man; and Sugar Magnolia, the crazy grey kitten.

Brittany Richardson, Team Leader
Brittany is originally from Selma, North Carolina. She moved to the Charlotte area in 2010 and was soon introduced to the world of animals through volunteering at different shelters and events for clubs and organizations in college. This led her to pursue a career in which she could learn more about them.
Brittany started working as a kennel technician at a local grooming, boarding, and training facility. She eventually worked her way up to becoming a professional dog groomer while learning animal behavior training as well. After a few years, she was approached by college friend, Stephanie Stergis, and began working for Bows and Bones in February 2018. She was promoted to Team Leader about a year later.
When Brittany isn't caring for fur babies she is perfecting her acting craft. She has two bodies of work under her belt but aspires to do more work that will touch the hearts of others. At home, Brittany has a 13 year old Miniature Pinscher by the name of Pebbles. She is a spicy diva who has prepared Brittany for any match she may face in the pet-sitting world.

Jordan Mull, Pet Sitter Extraordinaire
Jordan was born in Charlotte and raised in Harrisburg, NC. Growing up, her house was always filled with 4-legged friends, ranging from dogs to cats to turtles and hamsters. She spent her childhood summers at her aunt and uncle’s farm with all sorts of animals and always enjoyed interacting with and caring for them. She currently has three 4-legged roommates Sable & Winchester, both King Shepherds, and a toy poodle named Vanderbilt.
The experience she gained from her summers on the farm as well as having her own pets over the years prepared her for our Professional Pet Sitter training program, which she flew through! Since she was a child, she knew she wanted to work with animals and is so excited to be a part of the Bows and Bones Professional Pet Sitting team!
Tiffany St. Louis, Pet Sitter Extraordinaire
Tiffany grew up in Bristol, Tennessee, where both of her grandfathers taught her to have compassion for all animals. Throughout her life she’s had rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, birds, snakes, lizards, fish, dogs, cats, goats, horses, and chickens! When Tiffany was 15 years old, she started working as a Veterinary Assistant at a preventative care clinic. This is where she met Caleb, and a few years later – in 2012 – they got married! It wasn’t long before they moved to Concord, where she began working in Emergency Veterinary medicine.
Tiffany is currently filling Superwoman's shoes: She is a part time Professional Pet Sitter, a relief Tech for local Veterinary clinics, a part time Financial Services Representative, and is a full time mom to three beautiful little girls! Tiffany’s family also includes two dogs, two cats, and two geckos. She is excited to help Stephanie build Bows and Bones so that she can ultimately spend more time with her family!

Alyssa Thornton, Pet Sitter Extraordinaire
Alyssa is the newest member of our Pet Care Team, and she has loved animals her entire life! She has had a passion for helping others for as long as she can remember, and that passion carries over to animals as well. She gained a lot of hands-on experience from working at a boarding facility and having to be organized, follow specific instructions for 30+ different pets on a daily basis, administer medications, walk dogs, monitor cats, and of course lots of clean up! Alyssa grew up with and has always had lots of pets, so this along with her kennel experience has made her comfortable with basic training, reading behaviors, and being able to spot an issue that may require veterinary attention. She is a lover of all species and breeds and isn’t afraid to handle your snakes or tarantulas! Bows and Bones is thrilled to have her as part of our team! |
