Stephanie believes she was born with two hands so she can pet two dogs at once. Which is exactly why she started her own pet-sitting business. She wanted to have the opportunity to take care of and love up on as many animals as possible.
She also pursued a degree in Mass Communication from York College of Pennsylvania so she could use her passion for storytelling to make a difference in the world.
Now, it feels like she hit the jackpot having the opportunity to write for iHeartDogs for the last few years, as it combines her love of storytelling with saving and helping animals in need.
Stephanie shares her home with three rescue animals of her own: a Pitbull mix named Penny, and two cats named Tula and Bandit. But she considers every one of her pet-sitting clients to be part of her pack.
