Kip Happy Stays
Australia's leading provider of pet boarding & daycare
Pet Boarding and Dog Daycare
Reimagined for Aussie fur-families
At Kip, we’re not a traditional dog boarding kennel or cattery. Creating happy staycations and daycare days for your furry friends is what we’re all about.
We know there’s nowhere as special as home, so we strive to make our pet resorts and daycares the next best thing: safe, active and caring places where every paw-sonality is treated as an individual.
With pet boarding and dog daycare locations across Australia, the happiness of your furry family member is our number one priority.

We take our miniature dachshund Frankie to KIP as often as we can make it. She loves it. When we get there she is dizzy with excitement and when we pick her up she is exhausted from play. The staff are very helpful, friendly and supportive. Frankie has become well socialised at KIP and is now comfortable around all breeds.
The team at Kip has taken such good care of my very energetic and playful golden retriever. His tail wags each morning he arrives, and he doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. They have also been great at monitoring and managing is behavioural "quirks" (e.g. trying to eat his tail!).
The staff are really lovely and fantastic with all of the pets. It's so good for my dog Mav to be able to socialise and get plenty of exercise through the day. He really enjoys his time and days at kip
This place is paw-fect
Great people, take great care of our Corgi. Very happy with Kip!
The staff here are professional, friendly, helpful and always go the extra mile. Luigi (my labradoodle) and I love this place. It's easy too book and reasonably priced. The staff are truly passionate animal lovers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! The two managers are amazing and always helping out with any requirements.
I like to believe that our dog is their favorite, but maybe they make everyone feel like that. It's certain that going here is our dogs favorite activity!
Me and my Noodlyhead love Kip Brunswick, thanks for taking such good care of her when I have to go to work... She always has a ball and I love updates of her having a great time!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 🐕💚
Awesome little puppy school and day care ! We took our 10 week old puppy there for school and they treated him so well, we got one on one care and advice and they took the most gorgeous graduation photo!
My border collie cross Olivewas a recent adoption from RSPCA when she had her first stay at Kip Ipswich. She returned to me happy and settled then on her second stay at Kip she greeted staff so enthusiastically that I know I can always count on her being happy there. Thanks Kip for the updates and for taking such good care of Olive.
Great place with caring and friendly staff and competitive prices. Our dog absolutely loves it here and we love how they keep us informed with photos and videos through the day, and they also provide feedback when we pick her up.
It actually would of been rude of me, not to write a review!! My mini dachshund goes here, and unlike other schools they do not have the dangerous equipment i was anxious about. The daycare was super friendly, nice, reassuring and patient with my baby... I received a report card on his first day, and in great detail which means they really do not over look anything. You have you own account, and not only receive updates but little personal videos, along with the ones posted on Instagram. Kip is everywhere, and your account is connected, so it is super convenient and i would totally recommend for anyone looking! Thank you!!! x
Good staff. Good service.
Great place! They even do report cards for your dawg I like that they have enrichment activities too.
Great place for your doggo to spend a day when you're otherwise engaged. The staff know their dogs and the service is excellent. Our pup always comes home happily satisfied from a day of activity.
Very professional and knowledgeable staffs. Attentive to each dogs and help to reward good behaviours. Not just a “daycare”
If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. The team at Kip Brunswick are absolute legends/gems/superstars. You can see & feel how much these individuals love dogs and love their job. My 2 mini schnauzers, Poppy & Merlin, can sometimes be stand offish with other humans, especially after lock down, however at drop off they are excited to see who is there to collect them for their day ahead. They just get everything right: from the viewing window behind reception, the daily video updates you get and the care and compassion shown by every single team member. I will never look at another daycare option. Thank you to awesome team at Kip Happy Stays Brunswick and for the care you give to my beautiful kids 🐾🐾
Our Border Collie was a little shy at first but she absolutely can’t wait to run into daycare now! The team here are so lovely, attentive and caring with our dog and genuinely care about their experience. We continue to send our dog here every couple of weeks and it’s been great for her social skills and development! She comes home exhausted so it’s also been a life saver on the days we have to work later than expected. Can’t recommend Kip enough!
My pet kob started on the 15th of April with kip my experience I got i am very impressed the staff there are very experience due to what i av experience in Kobe behaviour and the clip vodio which is very encouraging. Thanks you great job
Our dog Fig loves going here. The staff are very attentive and friendly with our pup. They're very flexible and cater to the needs of our dog very well.

My Frenchie Jaxon has been going to Kip, Brunswick for only a couple of months. The staff are all so amazing and friendly, they really care about your pet and I love the videos during the day that they send you. Jaxon comes home absolutely exhausted so I know he’s had an awesome time! Thank you Kip, Brunswick you all do such an amazing job of caring for Jaxon and all the other dogs everyday🐾💗
My dog is very happy there. Staff are very friendly. Ticks the boxes.
Our pooches love Kip and the team, definitely a great day out for them providing a heap of mental stimulation and socialisation. Love that they come home exhausted and content 😍
Incredible place that our dog loves. All of the staff are super friendly, we love hearing how our dog went during the day and the pictures we get sent.
My 2 dogs love going to Kip. They have been going for a few months now, and the change in their dog socialisation is amazing. The staff are super friendly and are very knowledgeable with the different breeds. I am sent video clips every visit to see what my furbabies are up to. By the time I pick them up, they are exhausted. Highly recommend.🐾🐾
Our dog was skeptical at first & we were not sure if daycare was for her; but now she absolutely loves it, and so do we! Staff are friendly & professional & communicate well about any issues and good days. We love receiving videos & seeing photos on FB. We also love their Christmas photo shoot.
Hippo loves going to see his friends - people and dogs - at Kip. On arrival, he can't wait to go in, and, at pick up he's happy. The staff organise innovative activities to keep the dogs interested. Kip provides videos and reports about Hippo's day. A friendly and safe environment for dogs with endless opportunities for play and socialisation.
Beautiful dog minding centre filled with beautiful dogs and staff.
Lovely staff & my gorgeous pet sit charge loves his time with his friends
Barry always has a fabulous time at Kip. He's happy when he realises where he is, and sleeps really well after having so much fun. The staff are great too, very friendly and accommodating. Great to know he will be looked after by people who care. I love the photos and video updates too! So great to see him having fun, its very thoughtful to send those updates.
Amazing team, great place for your fur baby to socialise and have fun !
we have an exceptionally small dog and i’ve never been worried about how they look after her. would recommend to anyone
Charlie LOVES daycare! She was driving me a bit crazy at home but now I get 2 days of peace and quiet a week (1 is the day she day she goes and the other is the day after because she is so tired still). I've never seen such a happy little wiggle as when she arrives at KIP. I appreciate the updates and social media pics, as well as the care that the staff seem to take. A very easy 5 out of 5 review from both of us.
our pup, Peppy, loves kip! he is so excited when he realises that we are heading there, has a great time playing with all of his friends and is exhausted the following day!
My dog loves this place and so do I
Thank you for looking after Nala and Dobby as if they were yours! Our energetic kelpies love coming, they are so relaxed and happy to be there. We get updates throughout the day and they always come home exhausted! Can’t fault the people and team from Kip Brunswick! Thanks guys!!!
The crew at Kip are the best. Have been looking after my 4-year-old dog at least once a week since he was a puppy. They're well staffed, take the time to properly assess your dog, don't overload the facility and provide updates during the day. It's obvious how much everyone who works there loves animals and they're also lovely people to deal with in general. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome doggy daycare option.
Staff are fantastic, facilities are good. Wonderful to be able to see through large windows to dog enclosures. Pinda loves coming to play with so many four legged friends. As soon as the car harness comes out she gets so excited for her day.
If you're looking for a top notch day care with a team that cares for your pooch, look no further. The team at Kip are at the top of their game. You'll get constant updates on how your dog is doing throughout the day. An end of day report card will also tell you how they did in detail.
Kip Brunswick is amazing , Nhu has seen my baby grow up from the age of 10+ weeks in puppy school to weekly daycare at the age of over a year old now! My dog is so confident with other dogs and has learned to be calm and composed when the need arises! I am so grateful to the team at Kip! The team is comprised of dog lovers who are experienced with all sorts of dogs! Rest assured that your pup will be in safe and loving hands at Kip!

Our pooches love Kip and the team, definitely a great day out for them providing a heap of mental stimulation and socialisation. Love that they come home exhausted and content 😍
Incredible place that our dog loves. All of the staff are super friendly, we love hearing how our dog went during the day and the pictures we get sent.
My 2 dogs love going to Kip. They have been going for a few months now, and the change in their dog socialisation is amazing. The staff are super friendly and are very knowledgeable with the different breeds. I am sent video clips every visit to see what my furbabies are up to. By the time I pick them up, they are exhausted. Highly recommend.🐾🐾
Our dog was skeptical at first & we were not sure if daycare was for her; but now she absolutely loves it, and so do we! Staff are friendly & professional & communicate well about any issues and good days. We love receiving videos & seeing photos on FB. We also love their Christmas photo shoot.
Hippo loves going to see his friends - people and dogs - at Kip. On arrival, he can't wait to go in, and, at pick up he's happy. The staff organise innovative activities to keep the dogs interested. Kip provides videos and reports about Hippo's day. A friendly and safe environment for dogs with endless opportunities for play and socialisation.
Beautiful dog minding centre filled with beautiful dogs and staff.
Lovely staff & my gorgeous pet sit charge loves his time with his friends
Barry always has a fabulous time at Kip. He's happy when he realises where he is, and sleeps really well after having so much fun. The staff are great too, very friendly and accommodating. Great to know he will be looked after by people who care. I love the photos and video updates too! So great to see him having fun, its very thoughtful to send those updates.
Amazing team, great place for your fur baby to socialise and have fun !
we have an exceptionally small dog and i’ve never been worried about how they look after her. would recommend to anyone
Charlie LOVES daycare! She was driving me a bit crazy at home but now I get 2 days of peace and quiet a week (1 is the day she day she goes and the other is the day after because she is so tired still). I've never seen such a happy little wiggle as when she arrives at KIP. I appreciate the updates and social media pics, as well as the care that the staff seem to take. A very easy 5 out of 5 review from both of us.
our pup, Peppy, loves kip! he is so excited when he realises that we are heading there, has a great time playing with all of his friends and is exhausted the following day!
My dog loves this place and so do I
Thank you for looking after Nala and Dobby as if they were yours! Our energetic kelpies love coming, they are so relaxed and happy to be there. We get updates throughout the day and they always come home exhausted! Can’t fault the people and team from Kip Brunswick! Thanks guys!!!
The crew at Kip are the best. Have been looking after my 4-year-old dog at least once a week since he was a puppy. They're well staffed, take the time to properly assess your dog, don't overload the facility and provide updates during the day. It's obvious how much everyone who works there loves animals and they're also lovely people to deal with in general. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome doggy daycare option.
Staff are fantastic, facilities are good. Wonderful to be able to see through large windows to dog enclosures. Pinda loves coming to play with so many four legged friends. As soon as the car harness comes out she gets so excited for her day.
If you're looking for a top notch day care with a team that cares for your pooch, look no further. The team at Kip are at the top of their game. You'll get constant updates on how your dog is doing throughout the day. An end of day report card will also tell you how they did in detail.
Kip Brunswick is amazing , Nhu has seen my baby grow up from the age of 10+ weeks in puppy school to weekly daycare at the age of over a year old now! My dog is so confident with other dogs and has learned to be calm and composed when the need arises! I am so grateful to the team at Kip! The team is comprised of dog lovers who are experienced with all sorts of dogs! Rest assured that your pup will be in safe and loving hands at Kip!

FAQ’s
Pet boarding at Kip includes a lodging facility for your special friend. Kip’s pet boarding facilities are available for dogs and cats of all sizes, providing a high level of care and attention for an overnight or extended stay while you’re away or unable to have your pet at home. Also known as pet hotels, pet resorts, boarding kennels, and catteries, pet boarding is essentially an accommodation solution for your pet and will include a comfortable bed and room, daily meals, plenty of playtime, and best of all - other furry friends for your pet to hang out with.
The main reasons that people choose to use pet boarding services include holidays and vacations, renovations to a property, or short stays while a family moves house or relocates. The advantage of using a boarding kennel over a pet sitter is that your special friend will go to a dedicated location with other dogs and cats, where they will receive the same level of care and attention that they are used to receiving at home.
Doggy day care is exactly what it sounds like – a day care for your dog! For many of us leading busy lives, it can be hard to provide daily walks, socialisation, and constant supervision of our beloved pets. Particularly if you have to go into work every day, it can be hard to make sure your pet is having as much fun at home as they would be if you were able to spend the day with them.
As such, Kip’s day care facilities provide the perfect setting to provide daytime care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Dog day-care includes morning and afternoon play sessions, quiet time to recharge, tasty treats as rewards throughout the day, and full, constant supervision from our dog-loving day care trainers and experts. You can simply drop off your little friend in the morning on the way to the office, and pick them up once they’re all tuckered out!
At Kip Happy Stays, we have pet boarding facilities across Australia, exclusively providing boarding for dogs and cats. Whether you're after a dog kennel in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or anywhere in between - we've got you covered.
Boarding costs vary spending on the length of the stay, type of room, and location/boarding site and will include a play area, meals, and treats, and a spacious sleeping area for your pet to come back to each night. Daily, your pet will receive one-on-one playtime or snuggles with a dedicated Kip team member, and free time with other pets of a similar temperament.
Absolutely! Kip members can benefit from discounts across day care services, retail products, dog training, dog wash services, and transportation services where applicable. If you have more than one pet, you can use your membership for all of your dogs.
Absolutely. Safety is at the core of everything that we do – our primary goal is to ensure that your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable; whether they are staying with us for a day, or an extended holiday.
The Kip team at each pet boarding facility has years of experience in caring for pets all of all shapes and sizes, and will conduct daily health and weight checks to ensure the health of your furry friend. Our network of local vets are always on call, and are available to provide round-the-clock care if required in our pet resorts.
Each boarding kennel has been designed to welcome dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and ensure they are safe throughout their stay. We encourage every pet parent to visit our accommodation before booking in to inspect the facilities, get their furry friend to feel comfortable in the space, and have confidence in Kip’s ability to provide the same level of care received at home.
Yes! If your pet has specific food they need to have, or is on medication, we can make sure they stick to these parameters while boarding at Kip.
For medication administration, simply pack your pet’s medication in a well-labelled container and let our helpful boarding team know. We’ll carefully care for and administer all medicine as per the vet’s instructions. We charge a small fee for the preparation and administration of medication for pets under our care.
For dietary requirements, you are more than welcome to pack your pet’s own food if you’d like. We provide only the highest quality, premium cuisines for dogs and cats as part of the service, but understand if you’d like to stick to the same diet. If you do choose to bring your own food, please ensure it’s well labelled and note that we will charge a small fee.
