Meet the Team

As a morning Lead Kennel Assistant, Megan is part of our management team. Megan loves working with dogs and has spent a few years volunteering with Speranza Animal Rescue before she joined us at Stonehill. The pups love the special one-on-one playtime they get with Megan and the wonderful care she gives them during their stay with us!

As a weekend Lead Kennel Assistant, Mesa is part of our management team. Mesa is a senior at Cumberland Valley High school. She has three dogs, Cooper, a vizsla, Lily, a great dane, and Bear, a chocolate lab, and is currently raising a service dog for Susquehanna Service Dogs – Carson, a 4 month old black lab. She has had pets her whole life and loves working with the pups at Stonehill and they love her too.

Taj is studying to be a certified vet tech, and has previous grooming training. She came to us from an emergency veterinary clinic, so Taj brings a wide skill set to our kennel. She provides our grooming services here at Stonehill, and helps with the routine care and socialization of our kennel guests. Her patient and calming nature help to comfort all the dogs in her care. We are lucky to have her!

I have been working with animals for almost 10 years; From animal shelters to pet resorts for vacationing families, to making your furry family members look their best, there has always been a passion for me when it comes to animals. I’m very passionate about what I do and I have always wanted to work with animals ever since I was a kid. Whether it was helping them feel better or to rescue them. It never really mattered to me what I would be doing in life as long as my career involves animals. About three years ago I started my newer passion at a pet store as a bather and worked my way to groomer through months of training and classes to get me to where I am today. I always look forward to the amazing animals that come my way for that special spa day and a fresh look.

“I have always had a deep compassion for animals of all kind. As a kid, my parents used to bring strays in and nurse them back to health. I have a black lab mixed rescued from Georgia and he is both people and dog reactive. I know very well how to handle him if he tries to attack. He’s very protective but very loving. Just know that if I’m caring for your dog on my shift, they’re taken care of with all the love and respect that I give my animals!”

Heidi is one of our newest Daycare & Kennel Assistants. She has previous experience with owning several different dog breeds throughout her life, as well as experience walking dogs with the app ‘Wag!’. She currently has 3 cats, a bearded dragon, a ball python, hermit crabs, and fish at home. Heidi has a huge heart for all animals, and their happiness, comfort, and wellbeing is always a top priority for her. She plans on going back to school eventually, possibly for animal massage therapy or veterinary medicine.
