Dog Boarding & Cattery in Canberra
Tara
The Country Estate
Providing a safe & loving environment for your pets

ABOUT TARA
Tara Estate is Canberra’s oldest and most respected pet boarding facility now with new owners and a new vision. The 10 acres of parkland are being transformed into Canberra’s best pet resort, providing the perfect environment for your pets.
We are dedicated to ensuring Tara is the best facility in the Canberra region. We are currently improving our facilities, services and accommodation to provide the best possible experience for our guests. Our mission is to provide your pet family members with a fun and stress free holiday so you can leave knowing your pet is in the best care possible.
Our experienced staff will provide a loving environment filled with enrichment based activities designed to ensure your extended family members are both physically and mentally active during their stay.
Being the most centrally located boarding facility, next door to Canberra Airport and on the road to the Snowy Mountains or the South Coast, you will save precious time with your drop off and pick ups. If driving from Sydney or The Highlands through to the Snowy Mountains you will literally go straight past Tara! This allows for a convenient drop off, whilst saving you at least a night or two of boarding costs at the other end, as well as precious travel time. We will have extended opening hours on a Sunday evening allowing for a late check out.
