Stephanie Stergis, 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.
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 grey kitten.

Brittany Richardson, Pet Sitter Extraordinaire
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. Just 6 months later, she was promoted to a full time position as a Professional Pet Sitter!
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.

Shannon Hood, Pet Sitter Extraordinaire
Shannon grew up on a small farm just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she was surrounded by all kinds of animals including cows, horses, dogs, chickens, rabbits, geese, and what seemed like 100 cats! Her passion and dedication for animals started on that farm and has carried on into her adult life. In 2006, she relocated to North Carolina to escape the cold winters of the north. A few years later, she found her soulmate in a grumpy Carolina Dog mix she rescued and named Chase. In 2015, while temporarily living in Texas, she found a 6 month old American Bulldog mix walking along the side of the road, and of course, had to bring her home. That goofy little puppy named Paisley, hasn't left her side since.
Throughout her life, Shannon has cared for animals from hamsters and bearded dragons, to goats and horses and loves them all. Currently, she is a full time office manager for a company in Mooresville and part time Professional Pet Sitter with Bows and Bones. She is an avid sports fan and movie buff and loves spending time snuggling on the couch with her sweet doggies. It's her dream to one day have enough land to have a few pet cows and lots of rescue dogs.
