GUEST REVIEWS

 

“Absolutely brilliant service. We would recommend this kennel to absolutely anyone. Our dog goes to doggie day care which is a little known service of this business. The dogs get dropped off before you go to work, play with their doggy mates all day and then you pick them up at the end of the day. We just cannot rave about this business enough.”

GUEST REVIEWS

 

“For over 13 years, we’ve been using Tara to board our dogs when we’re out of town. Our dogs have always been well looked after, and they are happy to jump out of the car when we get to there. Our Jack Russell  loves playing with other dogs at Tara, and he looks happy when we pick him up.”

“Our cats have been staying at Tara for several years now. They come home looking exceptionally well cared for, and they cater for our diabetic fellow who requires twice daily insulin injections.”
