- I grew up with dogs, cats, turtles and guinea pigs. While raising my two children, I had a black Labrador Retriever named Duke who LOVED people, especially me and my kids. After Duke, I had a chocolate Lab named Shadow. We have also had several hamsters because we wanted our children to love all animals.
- I have lived in Plymouth for over 30 years. I love this area of Plymouth (Cedarville) because of its ponds and beaches. I like the fact that we are close to the canal, Cape Cod, Bourne and Buzzards Bay and all of Plymouth, MA.
- Right now I own a little Jack Russell Terrier mix named Frankie. Frankie was a Rescue dog and he is the Joy of my Life. My little boy. I cannot imagine not owning a dog. I think I will always have a dog and maybe someday a cat.
- I cannot wait to meet your furry friend/pet. Please know that your dog or cat (pet) is in good hands with the love I have for all animals.

- I grew up surrounded by multiple fur babies. I was in 4H and raised sheep, cows, rabbits, horses, and lots of other critters! We even had a donkey at one point. Animals make me happy. There is just something about their unconditional love and innocence that is unlike anything else.
- I have lived in Plymouth for more than 13 years and am currently owned by our puppy Elsie, a Jack Russell/Australian Shepherd Mix. We got Elsie after losing our 10-year old Cairn Terrier Tank to Lymphoma after a 2-year battle including Chemotherapy and other treatments. Losing Tank is what brought me to JAC. I thought we would be taking a break from Dogs for a bit (my boyfriend is allergic and I agreed to take a year off…What was I thinking?!) I applied at JAC with the hope of giving my love of fur babies to other people’s fur babies.

Kelli W.
- Plymouth has been my home for almost 24 years and for 14 of those years I have had a dog. First, I had Bernese Mountain Dog, Tank, and now a Great Pyrenees/Black Lab mix, Dozer. The 4 months between them made me realize I can never live without a dog or animal in my home again. Dogs really do make a house, a home.
- I graduated from Plymouth South High School in 2014 and Lasell College in 2018, with a Bachelors degree in Graphic Design and Photography. I lived at College in Newton, MA for four years.
- Not having my dog around at college left me with a void I had to fill so I started walking dogs between classes and other responsibilities. Any day I got to walk or care for a dog was a great day. It was always rewarding to see the excitement the dogs had when they saw me. I am so excited to have such a rewarding job again, here at Just Around the Corner!

Carol C.
- I grew up on a farm in Connecticut and have always been surrounded by animals of all kinds. I started as a lab technician for a veterinary hospital, then added vet tech and vet surgical nurse to the mix. I later became an animal control officer, but found I was adopting every critter I was unable to place. I performed many varied jobs over the years.
- For many of those years, I have owned and operated Balloons for All Reasons, based in Braintree, specializing in balloon décor for special events such as birthday parties, weddings and corporate events. While I still work on occasional balloon décor, I am concentrating my efforts on the animals I have always loved working with.
- I have had a “zoo” of pets, including snakes, a squirrel monkey, numerous raccoons, a few skunks and possums, an octopus, horses, goats, assorted parrots and co*ckatoos, an owl and crow, and more dogs and cats than I can count.
- I am excited to be working with Just Around the Corner and having the opportunity of meeting your family members, both two- and four-footed, and providing additional love, care, and exercise.

Morgin D., Assistant Pet Care Coordinator
- My whole life we’ve always had a zoo of animals in our home to love. I grew up in Carver and Plymouth before briefly moving to Cape Cod, then Amherst. I now reside in Middleboro with my family, my dog Baymax, my family’s three dogs, one guinea pig, and my four aquariums. Baymax is my world, I couldn’t imagine a better best furry friend!
- For eight years I studied Animal Science, Pre-Veterinary science, and Psychology. I’ve dedicated my education to the care of animals. I’m currently pursuing a career as a professional dog trainer and I hope to focus on therapy and service dog work.
- With over a decade of experience caring for all species, breeds, and needs you’ll never need to worry about your pet receiving the best possible care. Horses, livestock, dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish – I’ve done it all!
- Working for JAC has been such a privilege. Every day is rewarding and exciting! I greatly look forward to meeting you and your pets soon. Rest assured that I will always love and care for your best friend just as I do my own.

“Adog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water-logged stick will do just fine. A dog doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he’ll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?” John Grogan, Marley & Me
Jenn D.
- Originally from Peekskill NY, I’m now extremely happy to call Plymouth my home!
- After earning a BA in Clarinet Performance from SUNY at Purchase, I served my country as an Air Force musician for over 20 years. I performed on clarinet and as a vocalist, performing all over the world. After retiring, I received my Master of Music in Clarinet Performance from Boston University and served as Operations and Personnel Manager for the Cape Symphony.
- When I retired, I took on a very challenging project – raising 2 puppies at the same time! In 2019, I also began my second dream job: dog-walking and pet-sitting. Moving to Plymouth this year gave me the opportunity to join the JAC team!
- When not caring for your fur babies, I can be found walking my dogs, swimming in the beautiful ocean, or cruising around on one of my Harley’s: either my “superior blue” Heritage Softail or my Tri-Glide!

Shelly C.
- I’ve lived my entire life on the North Shore, but now that our kids have grown, my husband and I have moved to Plymouth, which has always been our plan, since we’ve spent our vacation time in Sandwich for over 25 years.
- I grew up with animals my entire life. We currently have a four year old rescue (Otis), and a 15 year old shih tzu (Harley), from our own litter.
- I have always believed that pets help the emotional and spiritual growth of people of any age. Having pets since our children were born has taught them not only responsibility, but also about the care and unconditional love, both given and received.
- Knowing the importance of the well-being and love we have for our pets, I am excited to have the opportunity to care for yours as if they were my own.

Hannah D.
- Growing up on the Cape, I lived on a farm with an assortment of animals. Goats, chickens, pigs, roosters, dogs, cats, bunnies, snakes, guinea pigs, and hamsters were just some of the animals we raised. Currently I am the mom of my two year old son, my two dogs, one rabbit, and one cat. I also live with my family’s animals which include two more cats and 3 more bunnies.
- In my spare time I like to volunteer at the house rabbit network. Some of the volunteering includes interviewing people who would like to foster or adopt bunnies from the house rabbit network to see if they are aware of the proper pet care that bunnies get. I am also going to school to become a clinical and administrative medical assistant because it has always been in my nature to care for people and animals.
- I absolutely adore being a pet sitter/dog walker for Just Around the Corner. All the employees, pets, and pet owners are amazing and I really enjoy taking care of all different kinds of animals and getting to know their unique personalities. This is a dream job for me and it has been some of the best days of my life giving love to all of the wonderful pets I come into contact with on a daily basis.

Ray B
- I grew up in a very pet centered home right here in Manomet MA where six indoor cats was considered a low number and we didn’t bother keeping count of the strays we cared for since it seemed to grow everyday. My first dog was a sweetheart named Katie, a rescue pup who was so curious about the world around her and was happy to explore with me.
- I now have two small Chihuahuas, a short haired girl we call Rosie and a long haired girl we call Olivia. We have three indoor cats, Cinnamon and Cookie who were both the runt of their litter. There’s also my baby girl, my best friend in the whole wide world Mittens who if asked will tell you she runs the house, though the other two disagree. I have taken care of reptiles in the past though right now we have none.
- I’m a budding writer who hopes to one day publish several of my stories, long and short. I plan to finish my Associates next fall before seeking a higher form of education. I’ve been eager to spend my time walking and running when I can, rain or shine, I love to be outside and exercise. When I’m not exercising my body I exercise my mind and my voice with lots of singing and meditation.
- Working with Just Around the Corner means I get to be out and about with all sorts of animals. I adore every animal I’ve met and I look forward to falling in love with yours.

- I grew up with cats and dogs around me, and I am currently ordered around by my 12-year-old fur baby, Kevin. I have always loved animals and being outside, and I just can’t resist an animal who’s happy to see me! My favorite animal other than cats and dogs is the desert spadefoot toad.
- I very recently moved to the beautiful Plymouth area from Long Island, and I’m very happy to be back in New England! There is so much to see and do here, and the area is history rich. I have a master’s degree in Library and Information Studies, so I’m excited to learn!
- In my free time, I enjoy swimming, knitting, reading, cosplaying, and going to concerts. I played rugby throughout college, so I’m tough and enjoy a challenge! I am so excited to be working at JAC, and meeting everyone’s pet has been absolutely delightful.

Morgan P
- I’ve lived in Plymouth for 15 years. I started out in West Plymouth and my love for the beach brought me to the White Horse Beach area. I love being outside and taking walks around the neighborhood.
- I grew up with Dogs and Cats. My parents could rely on me bringing home an animal that needed a home, regularly. I absolutely adore older kitties, Kiki is 17 and my Alley was 23. I also have a 2 year old with lots of spunk! With all my kitties, I’m unable to have a dog. Taking time for someone else’s pup makes my day!
- I love being a pet sitter at JAC. Our pets need love and attention, and being able to provide that to people’s fur babies while they are away is so important.
