Absolutely amazing people. Very polite. My dog had a gr8 day. Very well managed business at Very affordable prices. Highly recommendated. Very pleased.
Absolutely Amazing My Honey absolutely LOVES coming to doggy day care!! We receive updated throughout the day and she cones home solo happy and exhausted!!!
Jack loves his daycare day and I love getting the updates during the day. He comes home exhausted and that makes our cat happy! Addit: I forgot to mention that Jack is usually an anxious dog. He does not like going for walks down the street, or meeting new people. When he is at daycare - he is like another dog! The videos they send of him having such fun with his best friend there Louie make our hearts swell. He just loves it there!
Fia absolutely LOVES daycare at Kip. We were so nervous for her to start socialising after we adopted her but the team at Kip were so understanding and supportive. They called with extra updates on her first day to put my mind at ease and take such good care of Fia every time she visits!! Can not recommend enough 🤩
heidi our black lab had a blast at kip !! she boarded for approx 1 week and was well taken care of , she made some new friends and we also got heaps of photos/videos during her stay thank u!
I recently boarded my dog, Lulu, at KIP Bayside for four nights, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The team was incredibly welcoming and made sure Lulu was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. I loved receiving her adorable report card, which highlighted her activities, and the famous "Lulu lean" showed just how much love she felt from the staff. KIP Bayside truly provides a caring environment for pets, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their furry friends. Thank you, KIP Bayside, for taking such great care of Lulu! We’ll definitely be back! 🐾❤️
Excellent staff and amenities, would get 5 stars if they had a form of outdoor activity or walk for the dogs
Literally the best place, kindest staff, and most understanding team ever.
What we do
Is your dog ready to join the daycare fun?
You need to attend a First Day Trial before coming more regularly
We want to ensure your pup gets started on the right paw when they join the Kip family. That’s why all dogs do a first-day trial to see whether the daycare environment suits them. On this first day trial, we encourage you to arrive before 9:00am to give your dog the best chance of success. We will give you an update throughout the day, and at pick-up, you will receive a report card and the team will discuss a recommended attendance plan. You will also need to be available for an earlier pick-up should our staff deem that daycare is not suitable for your dog.
Grab a 3-Day Intro Pack for only $26/day (1 month expiry) - saving $117!
To attend daycare your dog will need to be vaccinated (to C5 or above) and desexed if over 12 months. Dogs can attend their First Day Trial 10 days after their second vaccination (C5 or equivalent).

How We Do Things
FAQs
Our vaccination policy for pet boarding is as follows:
Vaccination Requirement: Your pet must be vaccinated and the vaccination must be valid for the entire duration of your pet's stay.
- Puppies may board 10 days after their final puppy vaccines as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
- Kittens may board 10 days after their final kitten vaccines as long as they are F3 or equivalent.
- Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 (or equivalent) vaccination.
- Cats must have an up-to-date F3 vaccination.
10-Day Rule: If your pet's previous vaccination had 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)
Dogs must also be desexed by 12 months to attend doggy daycare.
Please note that we don't take dogs that are in heat. If your dog comes into heat during their visit, you or an emergency contact will need to pick them up.
A Kip day starts bright and early at 7:00am, giving you plenty of time to drop off your furry friend on the way to work. Your dog’s day will be divided into two play sessions, morning and afternoon, and is broken up with quiet time in between to relax and recharge. This balance ensures that every dog has a great time without being overwhelmed and goes home looking forward to their next visit.
Your dog will come out of their room first thing for a morning play session, then return to their room for some delicious brekkie. After breakfast, they’ll rejoin the daycare group for more socialisation and enrichment. As the day comes to a close, it’s time for dinner in their room, and once they’re all fed and tired, your dog can kick back and relax in their comfy bed, ready for a kip.
Groups are generally based on size, personality and play style so that your pup can enjoy their time with their BFFs (best furry friends!). Our animal handlers will also switch around groups as needed so that your dog gets the best out of every visit.
Safety is our number one priority. All dogs in our care are fully vaccinated and have passed their trial day before joining. Our floors are also non-slip and water-resistant, and our fences dig-proof. All boarding rooms are also secured to ensure that your dog will stay exactly where they should be.
The late cancellation charge allows us to reallocate your reservation to another pup if you are unable to attend your session. This late cancellation/no-show charge applies to customers who fail to cancel a daycare visit by 5pm the day prior to the reservation.
Absolutely! For an extra $6/pet/day, we can administer medication to your pets. Please provide all medication in a marked vet bag and provide enough medication for the entire duration of their stay.
Absolutely! Simply contact us at bayside@kip.com.au so our team can organise the best time for you to tour the premises.
We sure can, for an extra fee of $3.50/day! Please provide all required food, clearly marked and labelled. Please inform staff if your dog has any food allergies.
