Hi, I’m Gemma – the human behind Marshall and Pals!

After spending over a decade working in the fast-paced world of IT, life shifted beautifully when I became a mum. With the arrival of my little girl, I knew it was time to slow things down and realign my day-to-day with the things that bring me joy: family, fresh air, and most of all—dogs.

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by wagging tails and muddy paws, and now we’re lucky to share our home with Marshall, our affectionate and goofy 9-year-old Goldendoodle, who inspired this whole adventure. He’s not just our family pet—he’s the original “pal” of Marshall and Pals, and our Chief Walk Tester!

Starting this business was a natural step—a way to combine my love for animals with the flexibility and presence I want as a mum. Every dog I walk is treated like one of our own, with plenty of attention, care, and fun. Whether it’s a solo stroll or a gentle outing for older pups, I take pride in making sure your dog is happy, safe, and well-exercised.

At Marshall and Pals, it’s not just about walking dogs—it’s about building trust, creating calm, and bringing joy to both pups and their people.

Thanks for stopping by—I’d love to meet you and your furry best friend soon!
