Pets:
Stewart and Earl
Biography:
My very first job was at Stoney Creek Veterinary Hospital in 1987 as a veterinary assistant. A few years later, I attended Harcum College’s Veterinary Nursing Program and received my Associate in Animal Science degree. I’ve worked at several small animal hospitals over the years, including a cats-only practice and one where I handled most of the exotic pets, including birds, rodents, and reptiles. In 1999, I moved to Ocean Pines, Md., and started Steph’s Pet Sitting, which grew for more than 5 years. In 2004, I moved back to Pennsylvania, sold Steph’s Pet Sitting in Maryland, and re-started it here in Media.
In my free time, I enjoy going to concerts and dining in the great city of Philadelphia. A fun fact about me is I’m a self-taught drummer who enjoys listening to heavy metal music. I’m also a competitive pinball player and am currently ranked 5th in the Pennsylvania women’s division and 82nd in the world!
