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 and bushwalking trails.

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.

Free, 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

Pauline Riches

Once again excellent care for our Zoe who has some behaviour and medical issues. I can see the love and care they give Zoe by the daily pictures plus she comes home healthy and happy. Would highly recommend to everyone. A huge thank you to all the staff

Dione Coleiro

First time leaving Timmy at a boarding kennel. He was obviously well cared for and very happy when we collected him. We loved the daily photo updates. Would not hesitate to board him at Kip Adelaide North again!

Kirsty Calabria

Would not trust anyone else with our boy. He had been going there since is was a puppy now nearly 6 never had any issues and they treat him like there own. We highly recommend Kip North

Megan Gollin

Our Girl Asha was well looked after. We received emails every day with pictures of Asha after a run which we found helped us know she was in good hands & happy. Thank you to all the staff. I highly recommend Kip Adelaide North.

Amanda Cunningham-Moody

KIP Adelaide North is great. All the staff I have spoken to are helpful and accommodating. The pick up and drop off additional service is so useful and from me it is quite a long way so I find it so easy when the girls get picked up and dropped off. The girls always come home clean, happy and tired and talking to others whilst waiting for my dogs, they said the same thing. No hesitation to recommend, having an app to get updates about your pets is awesome and reassuring. Book, I've found it great for my two crazy black labs.

Karen Bond

KIP looked after Jellybean so well. The regular updates were a great way to see how happy she was. The flexibility of KIP to accommodate additional days due to my holiday injury reduced my stress considerable. A wonderful experience for both Jellybean and me.

Tashy 85

Been to penfield kennels multiple times with my dog and the staff and excellent and friendly. My dog always comes home happy and healthy and shiny after her bath there. I also love the photo updates.

Ben Fee

Flash and Ella were so well looked after and had a great time at Kip!

Margie Westlake

Thanks to all the staff at KIP Adelaide North! Molly had another wonderful holiday with you guys. See you next time ❤️

Ian Strout

Marco's first visit to kennels to stay over 7 Days when I pick him up, he was very happy. Greatly appreciated the daily photos reassuring that he was both happy and content. Will definitely be using again.

Sherry Ward

Tiki vomitted when she got home and she is off her food but that may be seperation anxiety from when I was away. Plus not having James with her.

Dewald du Plooy

THE best place for our dog Daisy. She gets excited when we drop her. And sometimes don’t wanna come back:-) Its like a holiday with mates for our Golden Retriever. Friendly pet loving staff. Kip is the best

Susan Green

This is the first time we have used Kip Adelaide North and I must say it was fantastic the staff are very friendly and we received photo updates every day which helped too see she was having her own fun with other dogs so much so we didn’t think she wanted to come home. We will definitely be using them again

Alanna Lediaev

GOTTA LOVE HAPPY STAFFIES!! Our girls, Indie & Summer, had a blast at Kip Adelaide North for a long weekend. Can’t thank all of the staff enough for their care & attentiveness. Thank you & see you soon

Liz C.

Long term customer of Kip (previously Penfield Kennels and Cattery), cannot recommend highly enough. Fantastic team, that accommodate all aspects of life for the pet and at times owner. Am so very grateful for their pickup and delivery service as well, particularly when I found myself calling 000 and being in hospital unexpectedly recently. Coordination with a neighbour and Kip had my girl looked after and in knowledge my girl (dog) was in good hands . Thank you!!

Natasha Knox

My Dog was looked after so well and the care they took for his aftercare from a procedure was amazing, cant recommended enough

A huge thank you to the team at Kip Adelaide North for their love, patience and care given to our beloved heeler over the years and many stays - short and long term. She's now over the rainbow 🌈 but her Happy Stays are fond memories that will be with us forever. I can't recommend the Kip team enough for their professional and genuine care for our animals. 10/10.

Amber Georgiou

Kip north Adelaide. Amazing. Again. This was the second time our brother and sister puppies. A year old now I was very nervous this time as the pups have a bit of behavior issues, but the staff were amazing and handled the 2 very energetic dogs very well. knowing that they are brother and sister they put them together to play which we love seeing. They send photo uploads which always put me at easy seeing how happy they are. Absolutely amazing place felt very comfortable leaving my puppies there once again and a bit longer this time.

We have an anxious dog, Santia, who often has a lot of trouble with environments with lots of dogs and spending long periods of time away from her family. From the updates on Santia that we received during our time away, we found that the staff at Kip really made an effort to make Santia's experience as comfortable as possible. While early in her stay Santia was described as afraid and reluctant to interact with the staff, it was evident that, from her more positive appearance in the later updates we received, the staff were considerate and determined enough to get along with her. When we came to pick Santia up, she was described to still be quite anxious and "selective" with whom among the staff she preferred, but seeing her behaviour after one month at Kip compared to the attitude she showed during her first days there, we would consider how things turned out to be much better than what we had anticipated. We apologise for any trouble Santia might have caused you due to her anxiousness, but also we couldn't be more grateful that we lent her in your care. You exceeded our expectations.

Wally booked in for 5 weeks while I was on a cruise extended to 6 weeks as I got sick and this was no problem. Received several pics every day, Wally really looked like he was having a great time. He settled back home like he had never been away. Would highly recommend KIP to any other dog owners. Peace of mind, was very sceptical at first, but the pics every day were just wonderful.

Tania West

I thought the communication and photos were great. My Anxious 1 yr old Cat is very attached to me and same. He lost abit of weight and was Dirty and Depressed when I picked him up. He still hasn't left my side. Cats do have separation anxiety.

Great service! The kennels and cattery are very nice and they look after our furry family members very well.

He settled back home like he had never been away. Would highly recommend KIP to any other dog owners. Peace of mind, was very sceptical at first, but the pics every day were just wonderful.

I thought the communication and photos were great. My Anxious 1 yr old Cat is very attached to me and same. He lost abit of weight and was Dirty and Depressed when I picked him up. He still hasn't left my side. Cats do have separation anxiety.

Great service! The kennels and cattery are very nice and they look after our furry family members very well.

Eddie our Samoyed had his first ever stay in care at Kip North. He came back washed, calm and content. We were happy

Great Kennel , my dog always gets excited as soon as he arrives at the kennel. He loves it there always gets to play with new doggy friends . He also loves the friendly staff and he always comes home healthy and happy after a visit . I thoroughly recommend Kip North Adelaide where all the care and needs of your pet are always met .

It is always hard leaving our two needy dogs but is made so much easier knowing the great care and attention they receive when staying at Kip Adelaide North, they always come home happy and healthy, and helps immensely being able to ‘see’ them while we are away through the daily photo updates, thank you to everyone at Kip Adelaide North for everything you do for our fur babies 🥰

This is the second time Maya has stayed with Kip Kennel Virginia, she was well looked after, we received daily photos, she was all bathed and clean and ready to be picked up, though she did have a little whimper as we left, think she enjoyed it too much. Staff are very caring and I got the impression they love their job and the animals there care for. Thankyou
