Cat Boarding Melbourne

Kip cat boarding Melbourne is a furr-st class purr-adise where calm whiskers and good naps come standard. A favourite for cat families seeking reliable, comfy care, every stay at Kip turns into a paw-fect little holiday with warm, caring humans, soft bedding and never-ending nap sequences.

Why Melbourne Cat Owners Choose Kip Cat Boarding

Melbourne cat parents keep choosing Kip cat boarding because the place is a paws-down haven of excellent care. Rooms are spacious, routines are steady, and every day hums along with a calm, predictable rhythm that even the fussiest paws appreciate. Our team of genuine cat people knows when a cat wants affection or when it wants to take a hideout hiatus in a comfy corner.

And the guests? All kinds flourish here. The shy side-eyers, the bold prowlers, the dignified retirees, they all slip right into holiday mode and lean into their furr-st class staycation.

What to Expect During Your Cat’s Stay

A day at Kip cat boarding in Melbourne is essentially a purr-mium wellness retreat. Mornings begin with a gentle check-in and breakfast. From there, the day stretches into a rhythm of naps, supervised strolls around their suite, enrichment activities and more naps, all expertly overseen by our feline-fluent team.

Every guest moves at their own tempo. Shy loungers get soft, whispery care; bold explorers get enrichment that channels their inner house panther; seniors get the slow, dignified life they deserve. Routines stay predictable, the vibe stays calm, and staff keep a close eye on comfort levels, cleanliness, and ensure general purr-worthy contentment.

Cosy, Calm Rooms Made for Feline Comfort

Kip's cat rooms across Melbourne are designed for one thing only: pure cat comfort. Each guest gets a private, peaceful space where the world is calm, the bedding is fresh, and the energy is set to “do not disturb unless treats are involved”. Rooms are cleaned regularly, kept quiet and arranged so even the most sensitive types can settle in easily.

Confident cats treat their suite like a boutique hotel, shy guests treat them like a personal hidey-hole with excellent housekeeping. Either way, comfort reigns supreme and naps follow swiftly.

Cat Boarding Pricing & Inclusions – Melbourne

From the sunshine-stalker to the curl-up traditionalist, Kip cat boarding Melbourne serves up suite options for all kinds of comfort seekers. We've got everything from comfort-first rooms for cats who like their stay mellow, to luxury, roomier suites for cats who believe holidays require square meterage.

Every stay comes with delicious meals, fresh bedding, attentive care and a soothing setup designed for long-haul nap sessions. For cats who enjoy the finer things, you can add your own meal prep, medication support and enrichment extras for a small daily fee.

Enrichment, Play & Extra TLC

Cameron Selkrig

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.

Guy Campbell

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!).

Mac Jones

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

Scott Matheson

This place is paw-fect

Ben Elliot

Great people, take great care of our Corgi. Very happy with Kip!

Mariella Lirosi

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.

Andrew Burrow

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!

Tamara Swift

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!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 🐕💚

Sophie Potts

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!

Maxine Jones

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.

Antz

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.

Tori Darrington

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

Fellicia Stanzah

Very professional and knowledgeable staffs. Attentive to each dogs and help to reward good behaviours. Not just a “daycare”

Cameron Bell

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 🐾🐾

Shannon White

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!

By the time I pick them up, they are exhausted. Highly recommend.🐾🐾

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.

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!!!

dave k

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.

Gerry L

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.

Niel Sayson

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.

Sonia Sharma

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 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!

Michael

My dog loves this place and so do I

Kaye MacKinnon

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!

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🐾💗

Jiuliana McKenzie

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 😍

Isaac Moores

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.

Miki McGuinness

Beautiful dog minding centre filled with beautiful dogs and staff.

Karen Vuga

Lovely staff & my gorgeous pet sit charge loves his time with his friends

Sarah Travers

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.

Tom Jackson

Chloe Green

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.
