Tara Cattery

Excellent service! I feel in safe hands when I drop my dog Ruby off. The staff take great care of the environment and the pets. There is also lots of open space/area for the dogs to play! ??

Left my two dogs here over Easter long weekend. Dogs were washed and ready for when I arrived from the airport. New owners have added additional play areas and started to upgrade kennels around the site.

I take my dog and cat to Tara and wouldn't take them anywhere else.

I have an elderly poodle who is super sociable. The old dog area he goes in is perfect for him. The play yard is a good size, the dog pens are close with just a path between the two. They leave the play run gate that links up with the pens open and a few pen doors open. What it means is the dogs can go out to play and then can go back to bed if they want. It suits my dog with him being old he doesn't play like puppies do anymore so I like that in the area he stays he has the option to rest and play.

My cat loves Tara too. As soon as we open his travel box door he shoots out to explore. He is ether snuggled up on the armchair under the blanket or sitting on top of scratch post house watching the world go by when we pick him up.

I have never worried while I've been away, cause I know my pets are being well looked after at Tara. I would recommend them to anyone

While they claim to have experience they obviously have some issues regarding cat and dog boarding. Upon arrival after 1 day boarding, my cat had dirty litter, was eating from a container (even though I had sent him with his bowls) and they had misplaced his belongings. Any decent cat owner knows that crystal or clay litter can cause illness in cats, yet clay litter was the type they used- even after enquiring and being assured they took the utmost care of all pedigree animals. I had even offered to bring in his litter, but was told they used my brand. He also had clumps of dried poo on his bottom that were simply overlooked. Disgusting! I was also extremely alarmed by the fact that although I had sent my baby with 2 PREPACKAGED meals, he was NOT fed on the Sunday morning even though it was clearly expressed that he was fed wet food morning and night. My kitty also returned to me with the most foul breath. I wonder if they had even fed him his ...read more

Our dog has been boarding at Tara Boarding Kennels for some years now and for him it is respite. The staff are friendly and vibrant. We have never had a problem with them and have found them to be always accommodating if space allows, particularly on short notice. We love the area it is situated in however, a good makeover of the reception area wouldn't hurt.

I can certainly recommend them and our dog always seems to return home with us very content.
