Maddie D.
The most EXCEPTIONAL care for our two dogs. From the easy 2 year old to then 10 year old deaf and partially blind. Beautiful caring staff, listening to all advice for the older dog and the updates on email were so kind Kip Caloundra is the best resort for our pets I’ve ever used.

Glenn Bartkowski
Took great care of my two elderly dogs, loved the daily photos and videos.
Carolyn Ricketts
I love how I get photo updates every day
Michelle Lorenz
My fur babies get very excited when we get to the Caloundra turnoff. Once we arrive they’re beside themselves. I love receiving updates on their play time and I absolutely love that Kip take such good care of my dogs. I can see everyone genuinely love working with the animals. I feel safe and assured that my dogs are being cared for xx
Alison Andrews
Love getting a daily update of our baby playing with his new fur friends, puts our minds at ease
Nicola Williamson
Nastro loved her time at Kip Caloundra - love the photo updates each day. Will be coming back!
Kim Allan
Thank you for looking after Floyd for us while we were away. This is his third stay. He is a nervous pup, but settles in well at Kip and enjoys his stays. We have the peace of mind that he is well looked after with fun updates on how he is going every day. Recommend
Mary Ryan
Our first experience with Kip but definitely not our last. I was thrilled with the updates and Peggy Sue was excellently cared for - she came home happy and not at all stressed. Thanks so much Kip!

Friendly staff that provided regular updates via pictures or movies to put our mind at ease while we were away
krystal armstrong
They took great care of my 6month old staffy, an anxious mum the updates were really reassuring.
Deborah Bauer
Bodhi was so well looked after from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind. We received regular photo and video updates every day, and it was the best seeing him so happy and settled 🥹 The staff were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and clearly care so much about the dogs in their care. You can really feel that they go above and beyond. Would absolutely trust them again with Bodhi 🐾 highly recommend!
Patricia Shuttleworth
The staff were very friendly and helpful and I was very happy with the help they gave me when I asked what they had fed my Sasha as he is very fussy so I have implemented some of his feed into what I feed him. I will be perfectly happy to leave him again with you. Also I could not believe that he got Pet of the Week, I loved the photos you sent thank you very much. Kind regards, Patricia
Dennis Nalder
Our dog is a little frightened normally but she seems to love the carers very much. We have no trouble her going off with them as they seem to make her special.
Monika Löfgren
Fury friend followed staff without fuss. Great video feedback every day. He was placed with other dogs in accordance to his age, size and temperament. He looked well fed and groomed when I picked him up. His bedding was returned cleaner than when he arrived. Happy dog 🐕 happy owner. Hope to see you soon.
Alexandra Woolfe
Our Dog Duke had a great day at Kip while the fam visited Australia Zoo Near by. Thanks so much for having him! Highly recommend for anyone thinking about having their pup looked after! As you can tell by his face he was having a great time 🤣🤣
Kim Schlecht
Harry came home happy, clean and healthy… He always goes into the boarding kennel without a backwards glance and we love getting the updates of him with the other dogs daily. Thank you!
Maddie Downey
The most EXCEPTIONAL care for our two dogs. From the easy 2 year old to then 10 year old deaf and partially blind. Beautiful caring staff, listening to all advice for the older dog and the updates daily on email were so kind. All communication from enquiry to booking to pickup was top notch. The girls at drop off and pickup were genuinely kind happy professional humans. KIP Caloundra is the best resort for our pets I’ve ever used. Thank you.

Tegan Passaniti
Our dog had such a great time, made some new friends and came home pooped! I liked that we got updates of photos and videos everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. It put my mind at ease. It was good to know he was having a good time! Highly recommend.

Mr Langley
Our Chocolate Lab boost stayed here for a week, he has always been uneasy with strangers, but the people working here were so friendly with him, we received daily photos of a happy dog, and boost was fresh and clean when we picked him up! 100% would use them again.
Lachlan Howe
Miss Moo absolutely loved her stay at Kip Caloundra! Thankyou so much for taking such good care of her! Highly recommend!
Ellie McDonald
Can’t recommend Kip enough!!!! So easy to book and very simple processes for getting pets settled. The daily (or even multiple daily) updates are kind and reassuring, and I know my bub is in great hands. Thank you Kip, I will be a loyal customer customer for many more occasions ♥️
Tamara Sherry
Great communication leading up to and during our dogs stay. The daily photos and videos that were sent each day was great and helped stop some of the guilt from having to leaving our pooch behind! At pickup - our girl seemed happy, healthy and well looked after. Thank you Kip Caloundra

Kip were friendly and very helpful from the outset. We had a family emergency, they took our little Jaycie on the day and stayed in touch over a 3 week period with an update every couple of days. Then when my brother picked him up, they could not have been better. The pup was clean, fed and simply happy. Note, we had paid in advance and once Kip knew the date we were picking our dog up, they paid a credit into our account without us even asking. Very credible operators. Thanks Kip!!
