Areas We Service in Victoria

From Geelong to the Mornington Peninsula, we have dog boarding locations no matter where you are in Victoria. To make your stay easier, we offer pet transport to pick up and drop off your dog, and this service is available in metropolitan Melbourne and Geelong.

Things To Know for Boarding Your Dog in Victoria

Leaving your dog for a period of time can be difficult and you want to be sure you get quality care for them while you’re away.

As part of our process for ensuring the safest environment for every dog boarding with Kip in Victoria, we require your dog to be up-to-date with their vaccinations (C5 or equivalent) and flea and tick treatments.

Your dog doesn’t need to be desexed, but we aren’t able to 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're interested in touring our facilities, we kindly ask that you arrange a visit with us in advance. As we aim to maintain a smooth experience for all pets and owners, we are unable to accommodate last-minute tours or offer them during drop-off times.

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!

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.

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

Simon Stanistreet
