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.

Taylor C., Expert Sitter- Certified in Pet Safety and First Aid
Taylor grew up around all sorts of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs and lots more. She has always had a passion for all animals. From a young age, if a family friend needed a pet sitter, they would call her! Taylor started volunteering with Princeton’s Meow in Concord, NC in 2017.

Angel has an orange cat brother named Macaroni, who is the troublemaker of the house and is also a rescue.
In her spare time, Taylor loves working in her garden or caring for her houseplants. If you have any plants that need taking care of in addition to your pet sitting needs, Taylor is happy to help! She's been on our time since March 2021 and we love how committed she is to making sure our pets are happy.
