About Us
Happy days and happy stays, for your four-legged friends.
Who we are
When you’ve had a crazy good day, afterwards, don’t you feel like a kip?
Kip was born with an ambitious goal; to reimagine pet boarding and daycare for the Aussie fur family.
As founders and animal advocates, we were faced with a problem. Whether leaving for a single workday or a longer holiday, our pet care options were limited. Either rely on the kindness of family and friends, or resort to the old-school dog boarding kennel and cattery.
Determined to create an alternative for Australian fur families, we founded Kip, providing happy days and happy stays for four legged friends.
We know there’s nowhere as special as home, so we strive to create an environment with the same qualities – one that’s safe, active and caring, where every paw-sonality is treated as an individual.
From playtime and socialising while the family’s at work, to a longer pet resort staycation when mum or dad are away. While we know we’ll never replace your real fur folk, we aim to give every member of our Kip family the best day, every day.
Fun
Fun is in our DNA. We’re paw-ssionate about giving your furry friend the very best time when they stay or spend a day with us. Every Kip pet resort is equipped with space for adventures, outdoor play and a team of pet loving people. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing your pet all tuckered out after a busy, active day playing with us at Kip. From bushwalks and indoor games, to toys and waterplay, at Kip pet boarding we have all bases covered to give your pet a totally pawesome time.
Compassion
Your furry family member’s safety and happiness comes first. At Kip pet resort, your furball is supervised by our caring team at all times, where we treat pets (and humans) with empathy, kindness, and respect.
Pets with medication needs are very welcome and we have excellent systems in place for medication management. Extra care and is always nearby thanks to our close vet network, available on call 24/7.
To keep our furry friends safe and healthy, all pets must be currently vaccinated to a C5 level, with an accompanying vaccination certificate and on a flea and worm treatment plan when they stay with us.
Honesty
With Kip, what you see is what you get. Trusting your bundle of fur to us is something we don’t take lightly. The pet boarding accommodation and services you book for your four-legged friend are provided honestly, with the utmost care and respect for your precious pet.We’re completely transparent in everything we do – you can even stay connected with your pet’s adventures through our daily video updates.
Expertise
You wouldn't leave your pet with just anyone, and neither would we. Our staff are all trained to ensure they know how to care for your pets the best way possible, just like the care you would give them at home.
But the learning doesn't just stop there. Our team are always up-skilling and learning new methods of care and enrichment to ensure your pet gets the best experience they deserve.
Achievement
At Kip, we take ownership and overdeliver. We want to make sure that you and your pets are happy both before, during, and after your visit to any Kip.
There’s a reason why already we’ve cared for thousands of pets over the last 12 years across our locations. And why so many of our customers just Kip coming back.
Why choose Kip?
Cos we are paw-some.

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
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.
