Stephanie Stergis, CPPS, Owner - Certified in Pet Safety and First Aid
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, with the blessing of her former employer and mentor, she was beyond excited to introduce Bows and Bones on October 31, 2017.
Education has always been important to Stephanie and she believes it is a hallmark of professionalism, so - beyond the years of Continuing Education within the Veterinary field - she was very excited to complete her Certified Professional Pet Sitter exam from Pet Sitters International in 2019. She is also certified in Pet Safety and First Aid, and encourages her team to stay up-to-date on their CE as well.
In her free time, Stephanie enjoys playing the piano and guitar, seeing live music, making art, and hanging out with friends. When she's home, she enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, Aaron, and four little monsters: Trigger, a Bichon / Shih-Tzu mix; Zeppelin, a fluffy little lion man; Sugar Magnolia, a chonky and sweet little girl kitty; and Figaro, a sleek black kitten.
