Sofia was a delight super responsive and I knew that my gal, Cali was being very well cared for. Sofia is super respectful and took care of my plants (without me even asking). I highly recommend Sofia as a pet caretaker and she is a wonderful person and truly loved and cared for my doggie ... 5 stars all the way.
Sarah is friendly, warm and easy going. She put us at ease as soon as she walked in. She kept us updated with pictures and we returned to two happy cats and a very clean flat. Would definitely love to have her look after Jigili & Albaloo again.

Mandy is the only person I would trust to mind my dog Mylo. She is the absolute best, we are blessed to have her to take care of our little fur baby!! Mylo has the best time everytime he goes to Mandy. We only have to say her name and his tail starts wagging with excitement. Couldn't recommend her more highly 💜 …
Loki cannot be happier every time he goes to Mandy! As he’s a corgi, our concern is that he is not with bigger dogs that could step and hurt him! But Mandy is always making sure all dogs are safe at all times… not to mention how much Loki loves Harry and Lauren, Mandy’s kids. He’s always so spoiled there! Wouldn’t trust anyone else!
Oh my god where to start I can’t express how happy and grateful I am to have found Mandy for my 3 fur babies. As you can imagine 3 is a lot to handle and I was finding it so difficult to find anyone who would take on all 3 🙈 But not a bother to Mandy! From the moment I meet Mandy, Lauren and Harry it has been the best experience. Mandy is so accommodating and so good and patient with all of the dogs. It can be nerve recking leaving your babies with someone but I never worry at all when they are with Mandy and I love all the daily update pics of them playing with their pals and the dogo birthday parties are just the sweetest thing 🥰 If you are looking for a daycare for your fur babies Mandy is 100% the best there is!
I have been bringing my dog to Mandy's Fairy Tails for two years now. Mandy is absolutely fantastic and my dog loves it there. When we pull up outside she gets so excited to see Mandy and her doggie pals. Dogs are so well looked after and happy. Mandy, Lauren and Harry love dogs and you can clearly see that. I would highly recommend Mandy's Fairy Tails.
Our rescue Chihuahua Elly loves spending time at Mandy’s. With the attentive care she’s received, Elly has become a confident, friendly well socialised little dog. She gets her play time and rest time as needed to make sure she’s in top form. Would highly recommend Mandy’s Fairy Tails Doggy Daycare!
We got our dog a year and a half ago and were always unsure how to manage her when we were away - leave her with friends and have them put out? Put her in big kennels? That question was answered as soon as we brought her to Mandy's Fairy Tails Doggie Day Care. Fifi loves it here, knows when we are coming and bounds out of the car to go to the front door when we arrive. It's very personal, not too big, all the dogs I have seen here always look happy and Fifi has enjoyed her days and her overnight stays. We can't recommend it highly enough.
Within a few minutes of meeting Mandy with her warm welcome into her home, I knew she was who I wanted to leave Ted with. It’s obvious she treats him like her own, and he’s the happiest ball of energy going into her house every week. He’s walked, fed, socialised with family and dogs and it’s such peace of mind that I know he is so content and safe. Laura.
Mandy is fantastic with our puppy Molly and Molly gets so excited going in to see her friends each day. We didn’t think anyone would take a puppy so young (after all her injections) but it wasn’t a problem for Mandy. I really think it has helped with Molly’s training and she’s a confident little doggie. We love getting the daily updates and I couldn’t recommend Mandy highly enough😁
Mandy is the absolute best. My dog runs to the door when I say we are going to Mandy's. He is so happy and so well cared for. You couldn't ask for a kinder person to look after your dog. I would highly recommend.
We cant recommend Mandy’s Fairy Tails highly enough. Our dog loves his holidays with Mandy. She is just the loveliest person & treats Sam like one of the family. We never have to think twice about leaving him with Mandy as we know he will be so well looked after. A wonderful person who provides an excellent service. Sinéad & Paul
This facility looks great but they are not taking any new customers, regulars only. They’re advertising a service that basically isn’t available. They didn’t respond to my email enquiry but I see they replied to my review! If they’re not accepting new customers why do reviews matter?
Jennifer was a wonderful host. Very accommodating with regular updates on Rocky's wellbeing. Thank you!
Wonderful pet service, my dog (Elkhound) has stayed on several occasions now and I couldn't be happier with Gem Dogs and Jen! Every time we take the turn down to Jen's, my dog gets so excited in the car, he knows he is in for a great time and this gives me so much reassurance. He doesn't even want to come home when I go to collect him, but when I eventually get him into the car, he sleeps all the way home and though the night. He's a high-energy dog, yet he comes home very well exercised. The house is absolutely beautiful with a lovely pen for the dogs to eat in and have down time and a gorgeous large back garden too for fun and games. My dog absolutely loved Jen and why wouldn't he, she is a total animal lover, so friendly and welcoming. I'm thrilled to have found this place and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Will definitely be back again.
Nobody better to leave you dog with! We leave our fella here whenever we go away and he never wants to come home!
Amazingly caring and takes such good care. Couldn’t recommend anyone higher
Great set up and owners care about the dogs which is the main thing!
Very friendly and good value for money
Friendly highly recommended !!!@@@@
Highly recommended
Brill thanks
If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were her own, Ashling is the absolute best choice. There is no one I know who loves dogs more than her. Whether it’s walking, minding, or just spending quality time with your dog, Ashling brings a level of care, enthusiasm, and responsibility that is unmatched. She adores our dog Penny and Penny loves her too. She has a natural connection with dogs and her attention to their needs—whether it’s exercise, play, or cuddles—is incredible. Ashling goes above and beyond, making sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. If you want peace of mind knowing your dog is in the best possible hands,Ashling is your girl , I cannot recommend her enough.
Aislinn has been minding & walking our fur baby & very quickly has become a huge support to us. She’s a natural & I highly recommend her & wish her every success in her new business - lucky dogs 🐶 …
Aislinn clearly has a deep love for dogs, and our puppy Mo absolutely adores her! She is trustworthy, reliable, and incredibly caring. Aislinn has been helping Mo build his confidence during walks, and having her visit Mo while we’re out has been a huge help to us. One of the things we appreciate the most is that Aislinn provides us with a little report after every walk, sharing how Mo got on. It’s such a great relief to know how he’s doing and that he’s being well taken care of. We highly recommend Aislinn to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Thanks so much Ash!
If I had to reccomend anyone to mind my dog it would be aislin the way she cares & handles them is with care and nothing but love
Big Thanks Gerry you really helped us out when we were desperately stuck for many weeks. It is affordable Gerry does a great job looking after the dogs place is cleaned everyday . Dogs are safe and fed , great location to bring the dogs on a walk would recommend thanks again.
Not heated, cold and wet kennels. Dog came out traumatized and began shedding profusely.
Stay well away. Was told we could pick our dog up at a certain time, when we arrived there was nobody there, I called the owner and was shouted at down the phone and then hung up on. I’m not sure they even feed the dogs in the evenings on the weekends based on what she said. Stay far away from this owner.
A great kennel to leave your dog. Gerry is always helpful and the dog is well looked after.
Great Kennels have been leaving my dog and cat here for last 5 years multiple times every year. Always friendly service from Gerry and Audrey. Great value no nonsense service. Animals come back well fed and happy. My dog actually gets excited in a good way when he gets there as he is very social and loves the interaction with the dog in the adjoining run through the mesh that seperates them.
Do not leave your pets there, it's a filthy place, my dog and my sisters dog both got the mange from it.
Sent my Jack Russell here for 4 nights and he was really well looked after. Have rebooted for 2 weeks in the summer. I would highly reccomend
Dog was well looked after left for 9 days Told the owner that she doesnt mix well with people he had no probs with that she was feed the food we left .. Quick wash when we got her home and she is brand new
Had a look around the kennels today with a view to boarding the dog for a few days Gerry the owner answered all our queries and explained the routine for the dogs,looks clean and well organised so I have no worries.
A very basic kennels. Had our two dogs kenneled together for a week over Christmas and perhaps I was wrong and there was the option of heated kennels with proper beds but all our two had was a piece of plywood to sleep on in a cold unheated kennel. What annoyed us most was that they hadn't realised that when being fed that our older dog ate both bowls and our 1 year old came out very skinny with her ribs and spine very prominent and all tissue wasting badly. Never ever again...even though they say that you get what you pay for...this was very lazy service
Our two dogs love their stay here every time we go away. They’ve been going for years and always so happy to be there. They’re so well looked after under Catherine’s care and it’s great to see little updates on their Instagram page. Photo of the happy pair during their most recent stay.
Used the veterinary service here to help send our two dogs to Australia. Denis was excellent and helped ease our stress and concerns. A true animal lover Would absolutely recommend them for all veterinary needs
I have no words to describe how grateful I am to Lissenhall Bording Kennels. In January 2024, due to a veterinary error in Brazil, my two dogs were stuck at immigration and were forced to be quarantined. They took them from my arms at the airport, gave me a piece of paper with an address and left me without news for more than 12 hours. It was the worst night of my life! On the other hand, when I got there, I was very well received by Dennis and Catherine. They let me hug my dogs and were always helpful, explaining everything that was happening and what I should do. I decided to give them a vote of confidence and leave my dogs in the kennel for quarantine, as returning to Brazil with them would cause us even greater damage. And it was the best decision I made. We missed them for 4 months, but I could see how Catherine took great care of them, letting us see them whenever we wanted and regularly sending me photos and videos to show they were ok. Although the situation was horrible, finding people along the way who understood our pain and wanted to help us made it less painful. Thank you for everything! I will definitely leave my children when I go on vacation somewhere!
They toke amazing care of my boy Charlie. Got him on a flight and sent him to me. Forever grateful 🙏 …
Highly recommend , super clean and our dog has always been so well looked after while boarding at Lissenhall over the last 10 years. Gets a great run and great customer service , the staff are lovely its very well managed.
Just found out I had posted this in the wrong place as in the Vet Hospital so posting here now. Even though it's 8 months old, it still applies. Sooo... Would never leave my beloved pets anywhere else. Catherine and staff take the best of care of them and knowing there are vets on site makes me feel very safe for my furbabies.
(Back in December since they take this post down constantly) Picked up my dog who could walk before being taken to Lissenhall kennels totally paralyzed. They do not cover the kennels from the rain. Took me a whole month to nurse him back to health. No idea what they drugged him with he lost 10lbs didn’t eat there either. Charged me 400$ for the privilege to clean his teeth terrify my dog and leave permanent hip damage along with soft tissue damage. Video as evidence of cruelty; https://youtu.be/3ITDC6AhPls?si=Km2zCQbF-RIFspZ-
Catherine and her team are brilliant our dogs love it here and its great to know they are well looked after
This veterinary clinic should be closed straight away,They are The only clinic and cattery used by The department of agriculture for quarrantine ,they treated me and my family very ,very bad,they told us if we don t pay 850 euro for The quarrantine period ,they ll put The kitten down.They let us waitting 2 hours in The car park ,our kitten is subnutrited and very dirty,they treated us as garbage,they re very rude and they like to humiliate People,I hope somebody Will do something about this,myself I wrote to The minister Charlie MC Conologhue about this as should be more cateries allowed to quarrantine pets,as Estuary cattery ,Airport cattery,etc.They treated us and our pet as misery,I live în Ireland since 2001 and dealing with them I felt an inmigrant!
Our dog loved it. Stayed for 4 days. Very reasonable and look after the dogs really well. Will definitely be using again.
