Things To Know for Cat Boarding in Melbourne

All cats must be up to date on their F3 (or equivalent) vaccinations, and we kindly ask for proof prior to arrival. This can be done by uploading your cat’s vaccination certificate to your Customer Portal. We can also cater for cats that aren't desexed but we don't take any cats on heat across our locations. If your cat comes into heat during their stay, they will need to be picked up within 24 hours. This ensures the safety of all pets in our care.

Your cat's safety is our top priority. We maintain a clean and secure environment, with regular health checks to monitor their well-being. Our facilities are designed for your cat’s well-being, with secure enclosures and controlled access areas. You can rest assured that your furry friend is in safe hands while you’re away!

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

Great place! They even do report cards for your dawg I like that they have enrichment activities too.

Simon Stanistreet

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.

We are able to care for pets if they're not desexed. However, we do not take cats in heat across our locations.

We will not accommodate entire males in the same room as undesexed females.

The price will change depending on a few factors, such as length of stay, which location is best suited to your cat, the room type you choose, and any other extras you would like to add on. For a personalised quote, please contact us.
