Why owners trust Tara
They'll be treated like one of our own
Booking a boarder means trusting someone with a much-loved pet while you're away. Everything here is built to reassure you that your dog is in kind, capable hands.
Personal, one-to-one care
A small, independent setup means your dog gets genuine attention - not lost in a busy kennel. They're part of the family while they're here.
Proper outdoor adventures
Countryside, woodland, water and beach - real walks and proper runs, not just a turn around the garden. Dogs go home happily tired.
Updates while you're away
Photos and little messages throughout the stay, so you can relax on your trip knowing your dog is happy and well.

In their words
Happy dogs. Happy humans.
"I was so nervous about leaving Beau - he's a big German Shepherd and I'd never used a boarder before. Tara sent me photos and little updates every single day, and I could see he was genuinely happy. He came home calm, tired in the best way, and honestly better behaved than when he left. We rebooked him in straight away. I wouldn't trust anyone else with him now."

"Daisy comes home absolutely shattered from her adventures with Tara - beach, woods, the lot. It's exactly the kind of holiday I'd want her to have. The daily updates meant I could actually relax on our trip for the first time."
Sarah M.
Daisy, Cockapoo
"Two big, daft labs are a lot to hand over. Tara treats them like her own and they clearly adore her. Proper countryside walks, not just a quick loop. Brilliant from start to finish."
James & Helen
Bert & Frank, Labradors
"Tara's cat visits while we were away gave us total peace of mind. Daily check-ins, fresh food, and a quick message each evening so we knew Monty was fine. Lovely, trustworthy person."
Priya R.
Monty, cat
"Rusty needs proper exercise or he's a menace at home. Tara gets that. He came back genuinely content. We've booked her for every trip since."
Tom W.
Rusty, Border Collie
"You can tell Tara genuinely loves the dogs - it's not a job to her, it's just who she is. Nell pulls towards Tara's door now. That tells you everything."

The person behind Noah's Ark
A bit about who'll be looking after your dog - the full story lives on the About page once confirmed.
Noah's Ark is run by me, Tara - a lifelong animal lover based in Morpeth. I started this because I wanted dogs to have proper adventures and genuine company while their owners are away, not a lonely kennel stay.
[Tara's full story to be confirmed - background with animals, how Noah's Ark started, experience with large breeds and German Shepherds, and any qualifications.]
