Great experience for Chewie. Very easy for pick up and drop off at our local vet. Loved to receive the photos/videos during his stay.

Both my girl Nixie and I Love the team at Kip Homestead- we wish you could give More than 5 stats!! I love knowing that whilst I’m away Nix is being loved and cared for! So appreciate the daily messages, photos and videos! Tonight after Nixie came home she curled up on the couch and drifted into the deepest sleep- over half an hour I lay pizza crusts next to her but she only stirred after 7 when I went to open the door! 😂 Thoroughly recommend Kip Homestead- Nixie is already booked in for another stay later in the year! 🐶 Board and train stays are great too!

I would highly recommend Kip Homestead Dog board and training program. I was planning to have surgery and knew that my young Groodle would be hard for me to manage whilst recovering and on crutches and I thought what better time than to get him boarded and trained at the same time. The facilities are great and his trainer David did a wonderful job and the updates, communication and handover are really important to carry the program forward at home.
Bokido!
I think mochi enjoyed the training program, they were professional imo :3

Highly recommend the team at Kip Homestead, Yarra Valley. They take amazing care of our dog Snow, and are excellent with their training sessions too. It’s so amazing to have peace of mind that our Swiss Shepherd is in safe and caring hands.

Our super high energy pup absolutely loved her stay with Kip. She was enrolled in the board and train program, which was tailored to suit her individual needs. We got regular updates, photos and even had the choice of supplying her own food. Better yet, at the end of her stay we had a comprehensive handover from her trainer, which was very educational and allowed us to continue said training at home. Highly recommend.

Wow. I have just got my beautiful border collie back from train and board. The updates along the way of her stay were so beautiful and assuring. Beck is her amazing trainer and my goodness is she amazing. My dogs new found confidence and happiness is quite astonishing. Getting home it’s still my beautiful dog but she is calm, has more confidence and I can see is less anxious. On day one of being home things that have been really triggering for her are now manageable with the tools Beck has given us. We have work to do as her parents and are grateful for the support and guidance of Beck. This place is amazing!

My dog is reactive to other dogs so we were a bit concerned with any type of boarding situation, but the staff at Kip Homestead answered all our questions and made us confident Tyson was going to be okay. We got daily updates and pictures, and we joked that he looked like he was having such a good time he wouldn’t want to come home. He exceeded our expectations and were very proud fluffy parents, and I have no doubt that was largely contributed to by the staff making him feel so at home. We’re going to make weekend sleepovers and their training program a regular occurrence.
