The girls at Kip were amazing, photo updates so we could see our boy having a blast. Beautiful area, plenty of space and you certainly know they are going to be loved whilst you are away on holidays.

Door-to-door pickup

We’ll arrive at your door to meet & greet you and your pup. This gives everyone a moment to get used to each other before heading off. This is an important part of what makes a ‘happy stay’ work so well.

Don’t Just Take It From Us

Lee-anne Chetwyn

I can’t recommend this dog boarding highly enough, the team that work here at KIPS Adelaide Hills are absolutely amazing. Just picked up my 2 dogs after 10 nights and both so happy , relaxed and healthy. My 2 year old girl is anxious and not usually receptive to strangers but when we picked them up today she was running back to the staff for pats and seemed so at ease. This place is top quality and we will never go anywhere else since leaving our dogs here. Highly recommend ++

Darren McCormack

Very caring, professional and clean facilities. We have taken our 3 year old Labrador to KIP on 3 occasions now and each time we have been really happy with the level of service received. Thank you to all the team.

Antony Flock

Friendly staff Great communication My Kelpie looked great and happy after his 16 day stay at Kip. Thank you Highly recommended AAA+++

Kasey Goonan

Wonderful , reliable staff ! Our girl had a great stay and we’ll definitely be back!

Hayden Griffiths

We have left our dog here several times and we have had a great experience every time. We drive 50mins to drop our dog off and she is always met as if she left last week, with a smile and a hug.

BethAnn MG

Fabulous place, our dog is always so excited to be dropped off there and doesn't care about us leaving at all 🤣 All the dogs we see there appear to be having so much fun and love the staff there, I also don't know how they keep all the areas so clean looking when they have so many dogs. We especially love the daily photo updates. 10 out of 10 recommend

Amanda Vu

I honestly cannot recommend Adelaide Hills Kip enough!! The owners and staff go above and beyond in every way — from the warm welcomes at drop-off to the adorable daily updates, you can tell they genuinely care. My dog Winnie loves this place too! She comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in such capable, kind hands. Thank you Kip!!

Shreeram Gomatam

Kip is a great place for our furry friends to enjoy while we are away. The staff at the reception are very friendly, professional and supportive while eager to serve you and receiving the pet for boarding. We were to drop off our son’s greyhound “Spot” for 5 days . He had been at Kip earlier and the staff recognised him. He was very excited to be at Kip. Overall the experience was really great!

Laurie

My 2 Tibetan Mastiffs stayed with Kip whilst I was visiting family in Adelaide. I cannot recommend this place enough!! The owner and staff went above and beyond with care and communication, I was so pleased to get daily updates with pictures and reassurance my doggies were happy. I have boarded my dogs in care in Melbourne and they had reservations due to the size and breed of my dogs. Kip in the Adelaide Hills was the complete opposite, they know how to look after and interact with large breeds like I haven’t experienced in other places. My doggie’s warmed to the staff straight away and we’re so happy. I’m so grateful and thankful to have found such a caring and lovely boarding for my dogs when I’m visiting Adelaide. Can’t thank them enough for caring for my dogs so well. Highly highly recommended!!!

After a bad experience with another kennel a friend recommended kip ,I was very impressed at the kennel and the care they take. It is not cheapest but you always pay for quality.

Susan Conway

Kip is truly a holiday resort for dogs.

This place always looks after our Fur Baby when we need, and the daily updates/photos keep us in the loop as we always miss our Diego when he's not with us! Keep up the great work customer service is always top notch.

Would recommend Kip to anyone! Our boys are always so happy and come home happy too. The photos everyday are such a good thing and really make the difference too!

Julia Hodge

Bella loves her stays at Kip. Best dog boarding in South Australia. The staff are lovely - so friendly, attentive and clearly dog people. Couldn’t recommend more strongly. Thanks Kip!

Jon Hunt

Georgia and Riley have stayed at Kip Adelaide Hills lots of times. They usually get picked up and dropped off in the dog taxi, which is very reliable. They love their playtime and G gets her medication every day. They come home happy and exhausted. Communication with Kip is easy and effective.

The team at Kip have been wonderful with our dog Cyril. He generally doesn't like strangers, but the team are so good with dogs and provide great updates and communication and clearly love their job. We are very grateful to have this option whenever we go away. Thank you.

Rhoda Downie

We were very happy to leave our dog at Kip Adelaide Hills over the Christmas period. The facilities are clean and very comfortable. We loved receiving photos of our dog each day, showing him to be happy and healthy playing with other dogs. The option to bring your food and bedding, is great for dogs with specific needs. The staff were friendly and knowledgable, and communication was fast and easy. I would happily recommend Kip Adelaide Hills to anyone.

wing leung

Amazing team and service. Definitely would be my first choice of dog boarding in Adelaide. I have to admit I am a bit neurotic when it comes to using a facility that I have never used it before to take care of my fur baby. The team answers all my questions and maintain communication with me when I have questions. I receive photos everyday in the system to see how my baby is doing. I would say my baby has had a best vacation with Kip North Adelaide Team.

Mav R

Maverick had a wonderful stay and slept for days after I got him home

Megan Rausch

Words cannot describe how grateful we are for Rachel and her team. Their level of care filled us with so much confidence. We do have a reactive dog, but we felt so at ease leaving him in their capable hands. The time the team took with us was so greatly appreciated as we brought our dog for a visit before his stay to familiarise himself with the space. But they also spent the time going through any questions we had on the phone and on check in, Rachel took the time to go through the long list of medications our pup requires and even provided us with an update with how he was going on the night. Rachel and her team’s dedication certainly did not go unnoticed and we will be back again. We can not recommend Kip at Adelaide Hills enough and are so thankful for all their help.

Peter Field

Our dogs love this place. We highly recommend it. Really enjoy seeing photos of them daily on the web. Staff are excellent with the dogs

S C Langley

Fantastic experience at KIP Pet Hotel in Adelaide! The staff are caring and attentive. Highly recommend KIP for anyone looking for a reliable and place to board their dog!

Harriet Pope

It’s not easy to go away and have to leave your dog somewhere unfamiliar, but if you have to do it then this is the place to put them. The wonderful team here cared for my nervous border collie with so much love and patience she ended up really enjoying her time in kennels. The daily photo updates are great for that extra peace of mind. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

Matthew Gosling

The team at Kip are doing an amazing job. Our doggies loved their stay there!

Grant Bell

2nd time I've had my dogs in boarding. First time I took them to a pet hotel near the airport and when I picked them up they were shaken up so bad they almost looked like they had PTSD from the experience. The next time I decided to book them into Kip and they came home happy and exhausted from all the exercise they got. Will definitely use Kip again. Staff were great and friendly too

Steve Parker

We had to find a place for our dog at short notice, the staff were understanding and help us with out a problem. I could not recommend KIP highly enough, our poodle had such a good time, was extremely well looked after, the facilities were clean and well maintained. Thank you to all who looked after our fur baby.

Sam Kydd

I have always had a great experience with Kip, and always use them to care for my dog when needed. Highly recommend

Joanna K

Highly recommend Kip Adelaide Hills to everyone, especially those who haven’t used a kennel service before! Olive spent a week and a half there recently and seems to have LOVED her stay! The daily photo updates of her having so much fun with the Kip team and other pups made us so happy and put our minds at ease. The drop off and pick up service is a real winner too. Can’t wait to use Kip again 😊

Kerrie van der Berg

Thank you to each and every one of the lovely caring staff members who took such good care of Vincent when we were away recently ❤️ We looked forward to receiving his photos every day ☺️ 5 ⭐️ out of 5 ⭐️ We will definitely be using Kip Adelaide Hills when we go away again!

Matthew Jones

This place is great. 3rd time lucky with kennels in the hills and more than happy here. Murray is a Bordoodle and loves running around which they are able to accommodate for us.

charli smith

Our dog stayed for 4 nights. She gets very nervous and aggressive in new situations. Staff had a long chat with us to ensure she was comfortable for her stay. Staff worked so well with her and she came out so happy and comfortable around the staff looking after her. We have been to numerous boardings in the Adelaide hills area and nothing beats this one. Worth the small extra price for the extra care.

Thank you to each and every one of the lovely caring staff members who took such good care of Vincent when we were away recently ❤️ We looked forward to receiving his photos every day ☺️ 5 ⭐️ out of 5 ⭐️ We will definitely be using Kip Adelaide Hills when we go away again!

This place is great. 3rd time lucky with kennels in the hills and more than happy here. Murray is a Bordoodle and loves running around which they are able to accommodate for us.

Our dog stayed for 4 nights. She gets very nervous and aggressive in new situations. Staff had a long chat with us to ensure she was comfortable for her stay. Staff worked so well with her and she came out so happy and comfortable around the staff looking after her. We have been to numerous boardings in the Adelaide hills area and nothing beats this one. Worth the small extra price for the extra care.

The team at Kip have been wonderful with our dog Cyril. He generally doesn't like strangers, but the team are so good with dogs and provide great updates and communication and clearly love their job. We are very grateful to have this option whenever we go away. Thank you.

We were very happy to leave our dog at Kip Adelaide Hills over the Christmas period. The facilities are clean and very comfortable. We loved receiving photos of our dog each day, showing him to be happy and healthy playing with other dogs. The option to bring your food and bedding, is great for dogs with specific needs. The staff were friendly and knowledgable, and communication was fast and easy. I would happily recommend Kip Adelaide Hills to anyone.

Amazing team and service. Definitely would be my first choice of dog boarding in Adelaide. I have to admit I am a bit neurotic when it comes to using a facility that I have never used it before to take care of my fur baby. The team answers all my questions and maintain communication with me when I have questions. I receive photos everyday in the system to see how my baby is doing. I would say my baby has had a best vacation with Kip North Adelaide Team.

Maverick had a wonderful stay and slept for days after I got him home

Words cannot describe how grateful we are for Rachel and her team. Their level of care filled us with so much confidence. We do have a reactive dog, but we felt so at ease leaving him in their capable hands. The time the team took with us was so greatly appreciated as we brought our dog for a visit before his stay to familiarise himself with the space. But they also spent the time going through any questions we had on the phone and on check in, Rachel took the time to go through the long list of medications our pup requires and even provided us with an update with how he was going on the night. Rachel and her team’s dedication certainly did not go unnoticed and we will be back again. We can not recommend Kip at Adelaide Hills enough and are so thankful for all their help.

Our dogs love this place. We highly recommend it. Really enjoy seeing photos of them daily on the web. Staff are excellent with the dogs

S C Langley

Fantastic experience at KIP Pet Hotel in Adelaide! The staff are caring and attentive. Highly recommend KIP for anyone looking for a reliable and place to board their dog!

Harriet Pope

It’s not easy to go away and have to leave your dog somewhere unfamiliar, but if you have to do it then this is the place to put them. The wonderful team here cared for my nervous border collie with so much love and patience she ended up really enjoying her time in kennels. The daily photo updates are great for that extra peace of mind. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

Matthew Gosling

The team at Kip are doing an amazing job. Our doggies loved their stay there!

2nd time I've had my dogs in boarding. First time I took them to a pet hotel near the airport and when I picked them up they were shaken up so bad they almost looked like they had PTSD from the experience. The next time I decided to book them into Kip and they came home happy and exhausted from all the exercise they got. Will definitely use Kip again. Staff were great and friendly too

Steve Parker

We had to find a place for our dog at short notice, the staff were understanding and help us with out a problem. I could not recommend KIP highly enough, our poodle had such a good time, was extremely well looked after, the facilities were clean and well maintained. Thank you to all who looked after our fur baby.

Sam Kydd

I have always had a great experience with Kip, and always use them to care for my dog when needed. Highly recommend

Joanna K

Highly recommend Kip Adelaide Hills to everyone, especially those who haven’t used a kennel service before! Olive spent a week and a half there recently and seems to have LOVED her stay! The daily photo updates of her having so much fun with the Kip team and other pups made us so happy and put our minds at ease. The drop off and pick up service is a real winner too. Can’t wait to use Kip again 😊
