Why Kip Is the Preferred Choice for Dog Boarding in Melbourne

Kip flips the script on traditional dog boarding in Melbourne. 

With a dog-adoring crew (some with fancy NDTF training certs, all with hearts the size of Great Danes), a company vet for peace of mind and locations that are just a fetch away from home, and you’ve got a staycay they’ll never stop barking about. We’re talking wag-worthy yards, comfortable bedding, shady hangouts and personalised routines for every type of pup.

Turns out, word travels fast when every pup at the park’s got the same fave sleepover spot. Thanks to glowing reviews and loyal regulars, Kip’s earned its place as the real deal when it comes to dog boarding in Melbourne.

Inside Our Melbourne Dog Boarding Facilities

From group play to guilt-free naps, Kip’s dog boarding centres in Melbourne are a finely tuned operation of comfort, enrichment and controlled chaos (the fun kind). Here’s a sniff around our setup:

Where they stay

  • Comfy quarters: clean little hideaways for pups who like their own space and a good post-play nap.
  • Luxury suites: for pups who love a sniff and a stretch, these rooms (at selected locations) offer direct access to private outdoor turf, climate control and serious VIP energy.
  • Sniff-worthy surrounds: our Melb locations feature large lawns, shady corners, and breezy play yards.
  • Lounge spots: need a breather? We’ve got tucked-away rest zones for midday flops and long, luxurious stretches.

What their day looks like

  • Morning sniff and check-in: a quick once-over from our crew to make sure every tail’s wagging and every pup’s ready to roll.
  • Slow starts: time for leg stretches, yawns and a little potter before the day kicks off.
  • Play o’clock: romps in the yard, group zoomies, solo strolls … whatever gets them goin’.
  • Lunch break: hearty meals for pups with rumbling tummies.
  • Afternoon action: a burst of play through enrichment activities or a quiet wander for the afternoon crew.
  • Tuck-in time: last check-in, fresh blankets and a few head pats before lights out.

We’re all about 1:1 care here at Kip. Our crew tunes into your dog’s needs, whether they’re a seasoned socialite, a lone wolf with a flair for dramatic exits, or the kind of pup who needs a pep talk before leaving their bed. Bonus? You’ll get free, regular pupdates, complete with glamour shots and muddy paw cameos.

Dog Boarding Pricing & Inclusions

Melbourne pups are a diverse bunch, which is why Kip offers a range of dog boarding suites across our VIC locations. For a small additional cost, you can level up their stay with VIP-style perks, like bushwalks through the gum trees, training sessions (location dependent), home-packed meals and medication support. It’s all part of the all-inclusive doggy retreat experience we’re known for. Minus the tiny robe and slippers (for now).

Prices will vary slightly across our VIC centres, but we're sure we'll have something to fit your pup! Not sure which one to choose? Reach out to find the best fit for your pup’s paw-sonality.

Convenient Melbourne Location for Drop-Off & Pick-Up

No matter if it’s the rolling greens of Yarra Valley to the beachy breezy of Bayside, our Kip locations span Melbourne’s South-East, West and everywhere in between. Wherever you're based, there’s a Kip crew nearby ready to roll out the red carpet. Premium dog boarding in Melbourne? Consider it sorted.

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

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!).

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.

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

Good staff. Good service.

P B

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.

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 🐾🐾

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!

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🐾💗

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

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 😍

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Safety first! All dogs need to be up to date with their C5 vaccination before boarding (and it must be valid throughout the duration of their stay too!). If your dog's previous vaccination has lapsed by more than 14 days, the new vaccine must be administered at least 10 days before the check-in date. You can upload proof in your Customer Portal before their stay, just to keep the whole pack safe and sound.

You bet. Just get in touch with the crew at your local spot, and we’ll show you around.

Totally. Big, small, scruffy or sleek, we welcome them all as long as they’re vaccinated! 

For a small additional cost, our team can administer medication based on your vet’s instructions and feed them the diet they’d usually have at home. Simply let our team know what your dog needs when booking them in, and we’ll take care of the rest!
