Couldn’t be happier with Kip daycare. My dog loves spending the day there and l know she is cared for. The staff are wonderful.

Dale Pickering

Brought my dog today for first time was an amazing experience couldn’t recommend more !!!! Staff was so welcoming and helpful

Wendy

I highly recommend Kip Brunswick. We enrolled our puppy at 16 weeks to help him socialise and learn the basics during this exciting stage. He started out very shy and timid, but by the end of the course we saw a huge improvement in his confidence. The staff are incredibly friendly and clearly know how to cater to different types of dogs, so you can rest assured your pup will be very well looked after regardless of their personality or needs. Each class was well-structured while still being fun for both you and your pup. I would definitely come back again!

Erin Hill

Love this place!!! The dogs love going here and the staff are soooo friendly! They know my dogs, their personalities and keen to give honest advice /feedback on how they settled in. I love getting the photos and videos being sent through.

Valentina Angeloni

My puppy really loves his playdates at Kip Brunswick. The staff is so caring and loving with him and all the other dogs. Every time we take him to daycare, he's happy and excited. Thank you for taking such good care of Charlie.

Jenny Robinson

Last week, my six-month-old Standard Schnauzer spent the day at Kipp Brunswick, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. From the moment we booked through to collection, the whole process was easy and supportive. All the staff made us feel very welcome, and we were impressed right from the start. When we arrived, all the dogs in the car park were buzzing with excitement, and Lottie quickly joined in—clearly ready to be part of the fun. When we collected her, the staff member, Bree, gave a thorough and thoughtful handover about Lottie’s great day. Lottie looked so happy with herself! We also received a written report and a photo, which was a lovely touch. We are extremely pleased with the staff and the way the centre is set up, and I’m already looking forward to dropping Lottie off again so she can enjoy another brilliant day. Many thanks to the whole team for making Lottie feel so welcome and safe.

Oliver Thomas

I take my pup Howl here every week and he always has the best of times! Everyone that works at Kip does an incredible job and I couldn’t recommend this place any more. Even if you don’t need day care, it’s a great place to socialise your dog which helps with training :)

Sarah B

I'm so happy with how Shay and the team look after my extremely energetic young dog Peko. Peko needs a lot of guidance and the team have managed that so well. I feel relaxed knowing that she is safe there, and that I can have a day off managing the very intense & driven little dog that I adopted. She has the best time ever there and her doggy social skills have come along in leaps and bounds since starting at Kip. Thanks so much!

Pimpisa Petchsud

Wonderful daycare and a delightful team! We have two sausage dogs, our little Subi is generally quite an anxious girl, but she enjoys Kip so much that she gets so excited when we pull into the driveway! Our other saussie, Chase, can barely contain his excitement in the morning when getting out of the car.

Antz

Great place with caring and friendly staff who love everything dogs! Our Rhodesian Ridgeback absolutely loves it here and we love how they keep us informed with photos and videos through the day. They also provide feedback when we pick her up.

Bridge Truell

We have been bringing our new puppy Daphne here since she was first able to and cannot recommend highly enough. She goes 1-2 times a week for daycare and has just finished their 5 week puppy school and both have made such a huge difference in her training & wellbeing. The staff are so friendly, attentive, and you can tell how genuinely they care about every dog they work with. Have to give a special shout out to trainer extraordinaire Nhu who supported us & our extremely rambunctious girl through puppy school with so much patience, kindness & good humour. Daphne knows the way to Kip now and gets so excited when she realises where we're going, adores all of the staff there, always makes new doggie friends, and comes home happy and exhausted (which believe me takes some effort!!). Kip Brunswick are worth every cent and then some

Tapu Tapasu

My dog loves this place and the staff.

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

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!

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.

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.

Fellicia Stanzah

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

Noremac Lleb

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!

Sam Rupa

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.

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.

My dog is very happy there. Staff are very friendly. Ticks the boxes.

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.

Maree Chiera

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.🐾🐾

A C

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.

Rosemary Blight

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.

Tom Jackson

we have an exceptionally small dog and i’ve never been worried about how they look after her. would recommend to anyone

Michael

My dog loves this place and so do I

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!

Jack Crook

My silly little dog loves this place so much. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They’re so good with the dogs!

Lucy Dinale

Highly recommend Kip .Billie has been going to daycare for several years now,and gets lavished with lots of belly rubs and hugs.Wonderful staff who love their dogs

I have been bringing my dog to kip doggy day care since he was just a puppy and the staff have always been absolute stars. The team care so much about the dogs and truely give them the best experience. It is always such a joy to get a happy update video during the day and to pick up a relaxed dog at the end of the day!

Matt Innes

My dog loves Kip & is always excited to go back. That’s about the best recommendation possible I guess.

Andrew Blight

Great team at Kip Brunswick, always super friendly and they just love dogs. Especially ours!

Luke Muller

Our Cavador puppy Ben absolutely loves coming to Kip Brunswick. The staff have been patient with Ben as he adjusted to daycare life and have taken a dedicated interest in his wellbeing. Since coming to Kip, Ben has learnt to rest in a crate, play with other dogs of all sizes and even a trick or two (like shaking hands)! We feel very comfortable leaving Ben in Kip’s care while we go to work because of the obvious passion for all the dogs that the staff display. Highly recommend.

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🐾💗

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.

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.

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!

Dog Boarding FAQ’s

Every Kip dog boarding experience includes a comfortable room, premium dry food, playtime with our animal carers, and free updates directly to you.

But that's just the bare minimum - you can personalise your dog's stay by adding extra activities, such as bushwalks, extra playtime, or delicious daily treats!

The cost of your dog's stay with Kip will vary depending on a number of factors, including which location you choose, the length of the stay, the number of dogs, and any extras you may want to add.

We offer a range of options to suit different needs and budgets. Please contact us for a personalised quote.

Absolutely! At Kip, safety is our number 1 priority. Despite having lots of room to roam, our facility is super secure. We perform daily security checks and ensure your pet is supervised for their entire happy stay.

​​Our vaccination policy for pet boarding is as follows:

  1. Vaccination Requirement: Your pet must be vaccinated and the vaccination must be valid for the entire duration of your pet's stay.
    • Puppies may board 10 days after their final puppy vaccines as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
    • Kittens may board 10 days after their final kitten vaccines as long as they are F3 or equivalent.
    • Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 (or equivalent) vaccination.
    • Cats must have an up-to-date F3 vaccination.
  2. 10-Day Rule: If your pet's previous vaccination had lapsed by more than 14 days, the new vaccine must be administered at least 10 days before the check-in date.
  3. Vaccination Documentation: You are required to provide us with evidence of your pet's current (and immediate prior vaccination if checking in with 10 days of their most recent vaccination)

We are able to care for pets if they're not desexed however, we do not take dogs in heat across our locations. To the extent your dog comes into heat whilst in our care, we will require an emergency contact to pick them up within 24 hours of being notified. We will not accommodate entire males in the same room as undesexed females.

Dogs of all ages and sizes are welcome to join us. We simply ask that they meet the vaccination requirements:

  • Puppies may board 10 days after their final puppy vaccines as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
  • Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 or better vaccine and an annual Canine Cough vaccination.

Our experienced carers can administer your dog's medication for a small fee. Please let us know if your dog requires any medication at the time of booking, and provide all medication required in the original packaging, along with clear instructions on how and when to administer it. If possible, include extra medication in case their stay needs to be extended.

If your dog is a fussy eater or has dietary requirements, you can bring their own food for a small fee. Please let us know at the time of booking and provide all required food, clearly marked and labelled, along with feeding instructions (if any). Please inform our staff if your dog has any food allergies.

We provide all beds, bedding and enrichment required for your dog's stay. Please reach out to your chosen location directly to discuss personal items.

We know being away from your dog can be daunting. Regular photo/video updates are provided directly to your personalised Customer Portal, so you can stay up to date with your dog while you're away.

Absolutely, and we encourage tours before your check-in date! We’re all about transparency and will proudly show you around our awesome facilities so you get a chance to see where your pup will stay. You walk away with the peace of mind that here at Kip, online promises are what we deliver, fur-real.

These tours are for you to view the rooms and not an opportunity to bring your dog. Please contact your chosen location directly to organise the best time to tour the premises.

Please note we are unable to accommodate last-minute tours when you drop off your dog.
