Areas We Service in VIC

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.
