Dog Boarding SA

Boarding your dog with Kip is the obvious choice for fur families in South Australia, and we believe that your pet’s boarding experience should mirror the same levels of love and affection they’re used to at home. All of our spaces have been designed with the consideration that each pup has a unique personality and needs, making it a safe, happy environment for all. With a focus on health and safety, you can be sure that your dog is in good hands and receiving tailored care from our experienced carers.

Areas We Service in South Australia

Whether you live in Adelaide CBD or Greater Adelaide, we’re sure there’s a Kip for you! Our pet transport service makes it easy and convenient for you when you’re planning your dog’s overnight stay. We offer door-to-door transport Adelaide-wide so your dog can show up to Kip safe and in style.

Things To Know for Boarding Your Dog in South Australia

Before boarding your dog in South Australia, you’ll need to make sure that your dog is up to date with all their vaccinations (C5 or equivalent) and that a vaccination certificate is presented. We also require your dog to be up-to-date with their flea and tick treatments, as this provides a safe environment for all our guests.

Your dog doesn’t need to be desexed, but we can’t care for dogs in heat. If your dog does come into heat during their stay, we will need someone to collect them from our boarding locations.

If you'd like to visit our South Australia facilities, we kindly request you schedule a tour in advance. We’re unable to offer last-minute tours or arrange them during drop-off to ensure a smooth experience for all our guests.
