Dog Daycare Melbourne

City dogs, assemble! Kip’s dog daycare in Melbourne (and beyond) is your pup’s backstage pass to a full day of play.

With multiple fun-filled spots from Bayside to Balwyn, every day’s a new adventure of fetch tournaments, shady snoozes, and belly rub encores. 

This isn’t your average drop-and-dash spot. It’s a tail-thumping wonderland run by Melbourne’s ultimate dog people. Safe, stimulating and just the right amount of silly, it’s where good dogs go

Kip Dog Daycare

Why Melbourne Dog Parents Love Kip Daycare

Got a pup who treats the hallway like a racetrack? Good news. They’ll fit right in here. At Kip’s dog daycare in Melbourne, your pup’s mingling, munching and mastering the art of dramatic napping while you’re out earning the kibble.

It’s not just fur and flying, though. Our crew are part qualified trainers, part dog-obsessed legends who read a tail wag faster than a tram timetable. Each day is built around balanced play, calm rest and just the right dose of enrichment.

We’re big on pupdates, too. Nothing perks up a workday like a photo of your dog mid-zoom or mid-snooze. We’ll send plenty your way. By the time you pick them up, you’ll have one happy, sleepy sidekick.

What to Expect from a Day at Kip Melbourne

The Melbourne weather may be a little unpredictable, but Kip days run like clockwork. As a pawrent, you can rest assured your pup is getting a good balance of play, rest and enrichment that feels more like a doggy festival than doggy daycare in Melbourne. Their day will look like:

  • Morning drop off: all the wiggles, nose boops and quick once-over so your pup can get straight into wag mode
  • Health checks: a quick once-over to make sure everyone’s fit and ready for play
  • Mid-morning fun: enriching games, group zoomies and brain-boosting games 
  • Rest time and recharge: soft beds, comfy spots, complete with dramatic flops and doggy snore soundtracks before round two
  • Arvo play: relaxed games, extra cuddles, and a slow wind-down after a big day
  • Home time: calm goodbyes, friendly feedback, and sleepy pups ready for the trip home

Tailored Daycare for All Dogs – Big, Small, and Quirky

Big bark energy? Tiny legs? Endless curiosity? We’ve seen it all. No two doggos are the same, and that’s half the fun! Kip’s dog daycare in Melbourne rolls with every quirk, from pocket-sized mischief-makers to gentle giants who take life one sniff at a time.

Our crew are the chaos coordinators, to watch over those that are bouncing between play, naps, and cuddle breaks. Chillers can enjoy cushy naps, short bursts of fun, and VIP treatment from the crew, and all those high-energy pups? They’re tearing it up in the yard with other dogs who can match their pace. However weird, wobbly, or wonderful your dog is, we’re here for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

For your dog to attend daycare, they must meet our vaccination requirements.

Vaccination Requirement: Your pet must be vaccinated, and the vaccination must be valid for the entire duration of your pet's stay.

  • Puppies may attend daycare 10 days after their second puppy vaccine as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
  • Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 (or equivalent) vaccination.

10-Day Rule: If your pet'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.

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).

Yes, dogs over 12 months old must be desexed. We cannot accept dogs in heat. If your dog comes into heat during daycare, we will notify you to arrange a prompt pick-up.

Completely. We group our doggy friends by size and vibe, so the pocket rockets aren’t being flattened by Clifford, and anxious dogs can go at their own pace.

When your pup comes to Kip’s Melbourne dog daycare, they’ll be up to their eyeballs in playgroups, naps, cuddles and constant crew supervision, and you’ll get free photo/video pupdates to see it all. 

Of course! All newbies start with a trial day. Think speed dating, but with more butt sniffing and zero awkward chats about star signs.
