We hear it all the time – ‘I’ve never been able to go on holiday before Kip.’ Whether you’re planning a renovation, a road trip, or just a breather, Kip gives you peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and having their own adventure.

My girls Charlotte & Lola came home so happy. It was their first time away from home so I was extremely anxious leaving them but after receiving the photos and videos this gave me reassurance they were in great hands.

How we do things

Dog running with stick in mouth

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.

Dog transport at Kip

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

Murphy loved his holiday at Kip, excellent staff, they introduced him to a play friend to enhance his stay. Very pleased that my anxious boy was so well looked after and happy when we returned. Thank you so much 😊

Tamea Ramsay

Very happy with our choice of Kip Brisbane for boarding our Australian Terrier. We were very nervous given he can be dog selective, and has a strong prey drive particularly for toads. This was all well understood, he was boarded in a room that was as toad proof as possible, locked in at night, daily playtime and we added bushwalks! The team we met were very lovely, and answered all of my questions with kindness. I had been communicating with them for over a year, before taking the plunge and booking. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kip, and will use their services again.

Sarah D.

Safe to say my boy Jasper loves coming here!! The staff are wonderful and take great care of him - ensuring all his needs are met during his stay.

Mark Ryan

Our Labrador is very social and absolutely loves Kip. Definitely a great place for your dog to have a holiday when you do.

Charlotte Rose

Staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Was nervous leaving our dog overnight for the first time but Flo absolutely loves her time here and always comes back exhausted! A little on the expensive side but well worth it when you know your baby is getting well looked after and the staff are trustworthy and lovely! The photo uploads are such a great idea too.

Mark Devlin

Ellie has completed her 3rd stay @ Kip. By the daily photos we received she appears to be enjoying herself and having fun with the other dogs. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend KIP to others.

ian quaile

Muffy the 🐈 was very happy at Kip & settled back home. We loved the daily updates. Her special needs were met, eg daily essential medication. We look forward to visiting Kip again.

Elizabeth Konestabo

Totally caring, understand dog signal so so well and an overall professional outfit. My dogs won’t stay anywhere else from now on!!

Kylie Giles

Kip was awesome with Jayda. Great daily updates and communication. Very happy!

michael western

Very Helpful and friendly staff! I loved the photo and video updates and the beautiful words written about our puppy! I know she was very loved while she was there!!! Kip More than met our expectations for our first time using a pet resort. We will be taking our Lola back next time for sure.

Kylie Lower

Our 2 furbabies had the best time for their 3 day stay with the gang at kips. We loved how attentive and caring they were to our 2. We love the daily updates, being able to see the fun and excitement our furbabies had in their faces. Will be a permanent customer in the future.

Leesa Gilkey

Pictures everyday and the dogs look very happy. We aren’t home yet but I feel confident they are in good hands 💕

Jo Hudson

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Exceptional care and communication! The staff were so friendly and kind, my boys were truly looked after like family. My big chunky boy even celebrated his first birthday while boarding, complete with a birthday hat and adorable photos! Communication was fantastic, with daily updates and pictures so I never had to wonder how they were doing. It was their first time boarding (and their first time away from me) and like typical bulldog pups, they had a little tiff. Amy called me straight away, explained everything clearly, arranged a vet visit and kept me fully informed the entire time. We also used the transport service both ways, the ladies were so lovely & calm, and I could tell my boys felt completely at ease. I honestly can’t recommend Kip Brisbane highly enough. They’ll absolutely be our go-to boarding kennel from now on! 🐾🎉

Saman Ekanayake

Our cat Alfie stayed here twice! Really love these guys who take care of our furry friend!

Lauren Elvins

Our Border Collie Bobby loves staying at Kip Brisbane. The team are always so welcoming and accommodating. Bob has a super time each visit and we love seeing how he is going via the email pupdates we receive. Highly recommend.

John Robinson

Thanks Kip for again looking after Tilly. She is spoiled and loved. You should be proud of your staff and process. Thanks

Trent Turner

Take brilliant care of pets with nice little updates

Aaron Jupp

10/10 - So far they have been AMAZING! My pet was picked up, and will be dropped off, and I get daily pictures of her with updates. *Only suggestion for them is to perhaps think about putting a camera in the pet room. I say this as today you can "limited share" cameras and it would also allow your pet to hear the owners voice as well as see them. But the daily pictures and blurbs are great too! Very professional and highly recommend

Jana adores her stays at Kip! The team takes wonderful care of her, making sure she gets to socialise with similar size and temperament dogs and they even keep up our training with her (Jana loves learning new tricks). When we collect her, she's excited to see us but contented and happy after her stay giving us peace of mind that she's well cared for while we're on holiday. And we always get daily updates with photos and videos so we know she's having a good holiday too! Highly recommend.

Clare O'Kane

Love KIP Narangba- we have used them 3 times and they have never let us down - Our dogs love it here and are so happy to go.

Yvonne Simpson

Thanks so much, think it was a good first time experience for both dog and owner. We appreciated the photos and videos as it showed us doggo was coping and enjoying her plays and swims. On collection she seemed relaxed and happy.

Jane Le Busque

We could not be any happier about the stay our two cats had at Kip Brisbane. Each day we received photos and an account of how they were doing, this was really important to us, being able to see that they were alright. We would not hesitate to recommend Kip Brisbane for cat boarding, and this will now be our regular cattery when we need it. The place is very clean and well run by great staff.

Kelsi Carroll

THANK YOU so much the team at Kip Brisbane for looking after our girls. They are true pet lovers, and go above and beyond to make your animals feel safe and cared for! They have outstanding communication, and we love the photo updates! We have tried a different cattery in the area, and the experience was terrible! At Kip, it truly feels like your animals are staying with family. Even through the Cyclone, we were keep updated and I knew our girls where in safe hands! Thanks so much team!

Melology

Genuinely cared about our girl.

Mike O'Keeffe

It was tough leaving our boy for another extended stay (3 weeks) but again we were updated daily with photos/video of him trotting about the yard with other dogs and sometimes alone when it was quiet but always with his tail up. I like that he has his own separate grassy run with neighbouring dogs, so plenty of stimulation, or he can chill inside his enclosure. He (again) settled back home content. Great, easy-going staff, very approachable. We'll be back.

Alana McLean

My dog has stayed at Kip a few times over the past year for short stays and long stays. Every staff member has been very nice and the check in/check out process is usually quick and easy. My dog is not social with other dogs so they give him yard time alone and the daily pics and videos of him running around and having fun with his sitter really puts me at ease. He comes home happy every time he's stayed.

Steve Dias

Truly this is the ONLY boarding kennel we trust to look after our dogs. The staff are genuine dog/cat lovers. The accommodation for the dogs is fantastic. Many options of various activities to keep them happy and engaged (ours love the water park option) as well as healthy dinner options. We also received daily updates via email showing photos and videos. When we pick them up, they have been washed, smell fantastic and are genuinely happy with waggy tails. If you go away on holiday...KIP will make your pets feel like they are on holiday as well. Extremely highly recommended 👍

Taylor Pretty

We have been coming to Kip for 5 years and wouldn't take our dog anywhere else! We were tentative about putting our pup Whiskey in a kennel for the first time after he was adopted from being in the pound the 1st year of his life. The staff were great and continue to be great with his care - Whiskey is so excited to stay at Kip and see his friends, both human and other pups. He always comes back happy and smelling nice! We get to see update photos and videos every day, which helps us enjoy our holiday even more knowing our boy is having his own great holiday. The facilities are nice and we have never had any issues, whether Whiskey has gone in for daycare or stayed for 2 weeks. I couldn't recommend Kip and their staff any higher for taking care of your fur bb while you're away. :) (Happy boy photo from his most recent stay)

Alyssa Argento

I left my cat, Rosie, in the care of Kip Brisbane Cat & Dog Boarding for just over a month during the Christmas/New Year holidays, and the care and love Rosie received exceeded expectations. I received daily updates on Rosie, and although she took a little while to warm up to her carer, you could see how much she enjoyed their company and affection towards the end of her stay. I am beyond happy with the kindness and dedicated care Rosie received and will happily recommend Kip to anyone who needs their pet boarded. Thank you so much for looking after our Rosie, you're amazing.

Leanne Donaldson

Best place, knowing they're are loved just as much you love your dog

Gia Becker

From someone who loves their cat more than anything I have 100% trust in this place. Absolutely incredible, you can feel their care for animals. I called KIP (Manie was incredible) when I was in the carpark of another pet boarding place (horror!) and they took my kitty in with no questions and made me feel so comfortable. The daily videos and updates were amazing too. I could enjoy my holiday with peace of mind my baby was taken care of. 100000% recommend you’d be silly to go somewhere else!! love you guys

Rakshanya

We boarded our dachshund at Kip for two weeks. The process from touring the property to picking up our dog was all very smooth! The staff at Kip reassured us of all the safety measures they have in place and answered all our questions. The daily photo updates of our puppy put our mind to ease. It was our first time boarding our dog and we will definitely be using Kip again if we are away travelling and need a safe and happy place to look after our doggo. Thanks team!

Cin CAULFIELD (Cinnie)

Great knowing our dog loves her second home away from us We have had two stays for more than two weeks each time and our dog gets the most out of her stay. Love Kips highly recommended Nothing to worry about peace of mind to enjoy your time away

We could not be any happier about the stay our two cats had at Kip Brisbane. Each day we received photos and an account of how they were doing, this was really important to us, being able to see that they were alright. We would not hesitate to recommend Kip Brisbane for cat boarding, and this will now be our regular cattery when we need it. The place is very clean and well run by great staff.

THANK YOU so much the team at Kip Brisbane for looking after our girls. They are true pet lovers, and go above and beyond to make your animals feel safe and cared for! They have outstanding communication, and we love the photo updates! We have tried a different cattery in the area, and the experience was terrible! At Kip, it truly feels like your animals are staying with family. Even through the Cyclone, we were keep updated and I knew our girls where in safe hands! Thanks so much team!

Melology

Genuinely cared about our girl.

It was tough leaving our boy for another extended stay (3 weeks) but again we were updated daily with photos/video of him trotting about the yard with other dogs and sometimes alone when it was quiet but always with his tail up. I like that he has his own separate grassy run with neighbouring dogs, so plenty of stimulation, or he can chill inside his enclosure. He (again) settled back home content. Great, easy-going staff, very approachable. We'll be back.

My dog has stayed at Kip a few times over the past year for short stays and long stays. Every staff member has been very nice and the check in/check out process is usually quick and easy. My dog is not social with other dogs so they give him yard time alone and the daily pics and videos of him running around and having fun with his sitter really puts me at ease. He comes home happy every time he's stayed.

Truly this is the ONLY boarding kennel we trust to look after our dogs. The staff are genuine dog/cat lovers. The accommodation for the dogs is fantastic. Many options of various activities to keep them happy and engaged (ours love the water park option) as well as healthy dinner options. We also received daily updates via email showing photos and videos. When we pick them up, they have been washed, smell fantastic and are genuinely happy with waggy tails. If you go away on holiday...KIP will make your pets feel like they are on holiday as well. Extremely highly recommended 👍

We have been coming to Kip for 5 years and wouldn't take our dog anywhere else! We were tentative about putting our pup Whiskey in a kennel for the first time after he was adopted from being in the pound the 1st year of his life. The staff were great and continue to be great with his care - Whiskey is so excited to stay at Kip and see his friends, both human and other pups. He always comes back happy and smelling nice! We get to see update photos and videos every day, which helps us enjoy our holiday even more knowing our boy is having his own great holiday. The facilities are nice and we have never had any issues, whether Whiskey has gone in for daycare or stayed for 2 weeks. I couldn't recommend Kip and their staff any higher for taking care of your fur bb while you're away. :) (Happy boy photo from his most recent stay)

I left my cat, Rosie, in the care of Kip Brisbane Cat & Dog Boarding for just over a month during the Christmas/New Year holidays, and the care and love Rosie received exceeded expectations. I received daily updates on Rosie, and although she took a little while to warm up to her carer, you could see how much she enjoyed their company and affection towards the end of her stay. I am beyond happy with the kindness and dedicated care Rosie received and will happily recommend Kip to anyone who needs their pet boarded. Thank you so much for looking after our Rosie, you're amazing.

Leanne Donaldson

Best place, knowing they're are loved just as much you love your dog

Gia Becker

From someone who loves their cat more than anything I have 100% trust in this place. Absolutely incredible, you can feel their care for animals. I called KIP (Manie was incredible) when I was in the carpark of another pet boarding place (horror!) and they took my kitty in with no questions and made me feel so comfortable. The daily videos and updates were amazing too. I could enjoy my holiday with peace of mind my baby was taken care of. 100000% recommend you’d be silly to go somewhere else!! love you guys

We boarded our dachshund at Kip for two weeks. The process from touring the property to picking up our dog was all very smooth! The staff at Kip reassured us of all the safety measures they have in place and answered all our questions. The daily photo updates of our puppy put our mind to ease. It was our first time boarding our dog and we will definitely be using Kip again if we are away travelling and need a safe and happy place to look after our doggo. Thanks team!

Cin CAULFIELD (Cinnie)

Great knowing our dog loves her second home away from us We have had two stays for more than two weeks each time and our dog gets the most out of her stay. Love Kips highly recommended Nothing to worry about peace of mind to enjoy your time away

Ken Dowling

The updates with photos and videos was fantastic. Made me way less stressful

Bradley Huston

Doggies loved it.

Lea Barrett

Jana adores her stays at Kip! The team takes wonderful care of her, making sure she gets to socialise with similar size and temperament dogs and they even keep up our training with her (Jana loves learning new tricks). When we collect her, she's excited to see us but contented and happy after her stay giving us peace of mind that she's well cared for while we're on holiday. And we always get daily updates with photos and videos so we know she's having a good holiday too! Highly recommend.

Clare O'Kane
