Our two dogs, Ollie and Willow, have just spent their first time ever away from us at Kip. Best thing ever. Staff were fantastic and the updates sent each day made me relax about being away.

How we do things

Human contact & play outdoors

We believe pet accommodation should feel like home. All of our guests enjoy playtime with our team of animal-loving carers and heaps of exercise in our massive play yards.

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.

Regular pup-dates

Leaving your pet somewhere new can be a bit daunting. That’s why we send video & photo updates throughout the day to let you know how your pup is going – so you’ll know they’re safe and having fun.

Don’t Just Take It From Us

The staff obviously love the animals in their care and we absolutely loved the photo updates.

Kylie Caskey
Communication was amazing with lots of photos while our 2 pups were visiting. Both boys came home beautifully groomed and super happy

Susanna Young
Confident care with very friendly staff. Have cared for our pets for several years and we wouldn't send them anywhere else.

Judy McDonnell
Great place to leave your pet. Kennels always clean and staff friendly. I use the Villa Kennels which are expensive but my dog has special needs.

Awaken
Great staff, reasonably priced and our dog really enjoys being there. They understand and can cater to dogs that play well with others and some dogs that do not.

We had two cats and two dogs stay and they were all so well taken care of :) I highly recommend Kip.. all the staff are amazing and they really did a wonderful job 🩷 thanks so much to all staff for taking such good care of our fur babies , will definitely bring them back when we go on future holidays 😊🥰

Brad Hoey
When we picked up Lukey he was so happy and excited to see us. He must have had so much fun that he slept for the next 250 km home 😄 see you next week for another visit. Thank you 😊

Janelle Baker
First time putting our 3 Staffies into kips.. I was very nervous about it. From the first visit I felt at ease. Having a tour and chat with Mackayla who explained everything and was understanding of how our dogs are. When booking them in with Skye I felt more at ease, helpful, understanding, caring and empathy was outstanding. Explaining to Skye about our dogs she was so understanding. Drop off day was hard for me but I was so surprised at how they went. Skye was so amazing. Putting them into the kennel they all seemed so happy. Skye kept us updates with emails and pictures, they all looked soooo happy. We were sooo happy that they took to the amazing team, letting them pat feed and going for a run and back into kennels.. all 3 dogs are very nervous dogs but as the days went on their nervousness started to ease with the lovely staff. We don’t know how to thank the amazing staff for what they did with our dogs..the outstanding care our dogs were given we will definitely be back.. thank you all for taking such good care of our babies ❤️
