Our Beamesderfer Family are proud owners/operators of Stonehill Kennel and Farm on Wertzville Road in Enola. Thank you to our fantastic Central PA community for supporting our family in this “pawsitively” exciting venture.

Ali aspired to become a dog trainer at an early age and before dog training school, she trained several dogs in her basic and advanced obedience. She continued her education at a dog training school and became a certified master dog trainer. She worked at Keystone K9 for two years become coming to Stonehill. Ali trained her Belgian Malionis, Shadow, in obedience, agility, scent work, felon tracking, narcotics, and protection. Ali’s expertise extends not only in obedience but training her dogs for narcotics, explosives and cadaver for search and rescue.

Callie is our Daycare Manager. Callie began working with dogs in spring 2017 at Keystone K9. Callie stayed with Keystone K9 for five years, during which she managed for a period of time. She got married in August 2021 and welcomed her first baby, Juniper Anne, in June 2022. Callie is always eager to meet new dogs and learn how to care best for them. She is enrolled in canine behavior classes and will become a certified canine behavior consultant. Callie has trained her own dog to be an ESA, recognizing cues of anxiety attacks and depressive episodes. She also does basic obedience/puppy training.

She looks forward to meeting your furry friend!

Allie is one of our weekend warriors! She has three dogs of her own, and loves working for the pups. She loves to give extra snuggles and kisses and attention. She always says, “If this is were my dog, I’d want this to be done for them” and that is exactly what we like to do when we spoil your pets. Allie is engaged to be married and enjoys spending time with her family and friends.

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!

Then, at Delaware Valley College, she majored in small animal science and minored in large animal. She has been grooming for many years with experience not only with pet grooms but with show breed grooms as well. She is also pet CPR/ first aid certified. Aloni is an animal lover with 2 heeler pups, a turtle and other aquatics, as well as 17 silkie chickens. Give us a call to get on her schedule!

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to do nothing but have/raise/work with animals. Animals of all kinds from fish to horses. Dogs became a part of me more living in a home filled with puppies. Training dogs’ new tricks is always and will always be my passion. I’ll do anything for a dog, just as much as the dog will do anything for a human. Not only do we have a working dog, but our whole family has a best friend. Being able to work with animals is a dream come true.
