At Marleyâs Pals, every wagging tail matters. Weâre a small, dedicated team, passionate about giving every dog the care, play, and attention they deserve. Letâs introduce the people behind your dogâs next holiday!
đ¶ Katie â The Organised One, Groomer & Vet Nurse Extraordinaire
Owner of Marleyâs Pals and qualified veterinary nurse, Katie is the driving force behind everything we do. From managing bookings and daily routines to keeping a clinical eye on every dogâs health, Katie ensures each guest gets the care they need.
She also runs our grooming services â from simple bath and blow-dries to full desheds for heavy-coated breeds. Every grooming guest benefits from a complimentary vet nurse health check â ideal for spotting skin concerns, weight changes, sore spots, or dental issues early.
Favourite thing about the job?
âMeeting dogs of every personality and seeing nervous or older dogs relax and trust us. Plus, keeping everything organised behind the scenes so the dogs can just be dogs â whether theyâre here for a stay, a play, or a spruce-up!â

đŸ Eoin â The Playtime Pro, Doggy Bestie & Heavy Lifting Hero
Katieâs fiancĂ© Eoin works full-time as an engineer, but outside his regular job, heâs a key part of the Marleyâs Pals team. From leading play sessions to settling nervous arrivals, Eoin is known for his calm, friendly approach and for being every dogâs best mate.
He also frequently helps with check-ins, check-outs, and the heavy lifting â whether itâs big deliveries or building new play equipment, Eoinâs always on hand to help keep the kennels running smoothly after his workday ends.
Favourite thing about the job?
âSeeing the moment a nervous dog decides youâre their friend â thatâs always class. And just getting to spend time with them after a day at the office!â
đž Catch Eoin on our Instagram reels and stories â whether heâs running a playgroup or lending a hand at the gate!
Why Our Small Team Matters
At Marleyâs Pals, your dog is never just another booking. With a small, hands-on team, we know every dog as an individual â whether theyâre here for boarding, daycare, a groom, or just a cuddle.
