What is Dog Boarding?

Boarding your dog with Kip means a comfortable room, delicious meals, supervised playtime, and most of all, premium care. Premium care means we have the training, systems and processes in place to monitor the health and wellness of your pet. We even keep you up to date with regular photo and video updates on your dog's holiday.

Kip is by pet owners, for pet owners. We’re committed to reinventing dog boarding because we know that our four-legged friends deserve the best.

Cared for by Our Experienced, Loving Team

At Kip, your dog will be in good hands. Our team of animal carers bring decades of experience to the table and are committed to providing the highest level of care to make every stay a happy stay.

Our company vet is also available to provide veterinary advice throughout your dog’s stay, should the need arise. Additionally, many of our team members are NDTF-certified dog trainers, so they understand dog behaviours and what makes your dog tick.

With locations all around Australia, it’s unsurprising why thousands of Aussie fur families trust Kip.

Dog Boarding Accommodation

We have a number of locations with different types of accommodation and activities to suit your dog’s individual needs. Not only do we have different room types (some examples of what’s on offer can be found below), but we also have different rooming options if your fur baby would prefer to share their room. For details on the accommodation options available in your local area, check out our location page or contact us.

Classic Room Dog Boarding

Example of a Classic Room at Kip Lake Macquarie

Our classic rooms are spacious, comfortable, and furnished with a cosy bed to ensure a restful night’s sleep. Even our largest canine guests have heaps of room to lounge around and stretch out! All rooms are well insulated to ensure a comfortable temperature all year round.

Luxury Dog Boarding Kennels

Example of a Luxury Villa at Kip Hunter Valley

Looking to pamper your pup? They’ll love our Luxury Villas and Suites, available at selected locations. With even more room,  a private outdoor grass yard, and extra furnishings, such as a television, they’ll feel right at home!

Extra Dog Boarding Activities for Active Pups

Our locations offer a range of activities that can be added to your stay to ensure your pup has the best stay, every stay. Different locations offer different activities such as bushwalks, social playtime, swims and additional coaching with a trainer. These activities have been designed to provide your dog with more enrichment and stimulation throughout their stay with us.

We also offer a number of services, including the provision of own food and medication, as well as a pick up and drop off transport service at our locations, ensuring that it is as convenient as possible for you.

Extra Playtime

There’s nothing quite like playing outside, so why does the fun have to end? Add some extra playtime to your dog’s stay - they’ll love the extra physical exercise and mental stimulation and be ready for a kip at the end of the day. Extra playtime can be tailored to meet your pup’s individual needs - whether that’s shorter one-on-one sessions or longer group playtime.

Bushwalks

What’s better than the great Aussie outdoors? Now combine that with walkies, and you’ve got one satisfied dog. When you treat your dog to a guided bushwalk, they’ll get the chance to explore new smells and adventures that will make their stay unforgettable! 

Treats and Meals

No matter what type of room you choose, meals are included as part of our base room rate, and our guests are fed ROYAL CANIN®. You can also add extra treats or enhancers to make your dog’s stay with us even more enjoyable. One of our most popular options is a Chicken & Rice dinner, or they might like a daily Kong Treat or Pig’s Ear.  Different sites will have different treats on offer, so please check your local Kip for what’s available.

We can also accommodate if your dog has any dietary requirements or allergies. Simply let our staff know when you request your stay so we can make sure they don’t eat anything they’re not supposed to.

We supervise all our furry guests during mealtime to prevent any funny business, ensuring your dog doesn’t have access to other foods.

Denise Ethell

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

Giulio Falleti

We love bringing our little boy Ananas here—he’s been coming since he was just 3 months old. He absolutely loves spending time making new friends and catching up with his regular buddies. The staff are amazing and always take such great care of him—we’ve never had any issues. Highly recommend Kip!

Cara Scicluna

KIP has been amazing for Ananas. We love taking our boy there every week. He loves it and makes us happy knowing he is in great hands of the lovely staff.

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!

Danny Nguyen

Enrolled our puppy to the puppy classes and it was one of the best decisions I've made. The difference to how he was from the first class to the last class was night and day. Our trainer/teacher Nhu is experienced as they come and she took the time to help each pup. With a trainer who is as passionate as she was, I would highly recommend Kip Brunswick as a launchpad that will set your puppy up for success.

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.

Holmes

Caring lovely staff, my puppy loves it ❤️

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

Hudson loves it, love the updates and insta posts - they also send a Polaroid home of him on his first birthday and dressed him for Halloween! So cute x

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!).

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.

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

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”

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!

Rosemary

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

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

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!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 🐕💚

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.

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.

Dog Boarding FAQ’s

Every Kip dog boarding experience includes a comfortable room, premium dry food, playtime with our animal carers, and regular 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.

We welcome pet siblings at Kip and are happy to offer a discount at many of our locations for pets from the same family who would like to share a room. Please look at the specific dates and location you require to confirm the pricing for the period.

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.

From short, overnight stays to longer holidays, Kip can help look after your dog when you need it.

​​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! 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.
