Don’t Just Take It From Us

chris jay

Cannot recommend this boarding kennel highly enough. From first contact, questions answered, dropping off through to pick up day. Very smooth and friendly process with professional care. It is the the happiest and healthiest our dog has ever been after staying at a kennel.

Kylie Maxwell

We recently booked our 2yr old Spoodle pup Moose in for an overnight stay. Being a spoilt inside dog, who actually thinks he is human, we were a bit apprehensive with how he would go. KIP sent us pictures of Moose during he's stay and he looked very content. Moose stayed in one of the heated suites. He was very happy when we collected him and the KIP team were super friendly. We will be going back for more stays. Moose slept very well when he got home, he was totally exhausted. Thanks KIP Queanbeyan/Canberra

Brimson Terry

- [ ] I got my dog from the pound 2 years ago, since then I have been through 4 professional trainers, because he was so reactive to other animals, but in the end I gave up. I heard about Kip and decided to give them a chance, and the result after the 3 week course was worth the money, he was taught all the basic skills he needs, so now I only have to build on the skills that they taught us. Really happy with the team at Kip.

Shelli Goddard

Great communication with daily updates helped ease any anxieties. I can tell our fur baby was happy as he slept all the way home. Having the little post stay information pack was lovely. It made us feel like he was really well looked after, safe and happy. I would recommend Kip to family and friends.

Hayley Clarke

Amazing place to keep your pooch, trainers there are amazing. Kept me up to date and continued working on things I had already started with my dog. 10/10 recommend.

Tina Van de Velde

I recently started using the kip training program for my dog Luna. She is not confident and is reactive to other dogs. The first time I took Luna to Kip the trainer, Janet, used a gentle approach to relax and settle Luna. I learned more about Luna's behaviour and how to help her. The trainers at kip have a lot of knowledge and gave me the confidence that with their help I can help Luna. I am going to keep using Kip training program and am happy to have found them. Thank you so much, Tina and Luna

Boarded my dog at Kip Pet Boarding Canberra, and it was fantastic! My pup returned thrilled, tail wagging, clearly loved. The facility is clean, cozy, so accommodating, but Sian and her team make it exceptional. Sian, the manager, is warm, genuine, and a dog expert! I received spot-on tips and funny updates about my pup’s antics. The whole team is caring and attentive, treating every dog like family. My pup couldn’t wait to see them at pickup! Can’t wait to return—Sian and her crew are amazing! 🐶

Cooper Kereopa

Would never trust another venue. Our pets love this place.

Renee Gordon

Very professional, flexible and caring.

Craig Burtenshaw

I have been using the team at Kip Canberra for all our pet "resort" care needs. Both dogs love to visit for a weekend or a week (or two) too. The service from all staff members has always been fantastic. We love the regular photo updates posted by the carers, they always appear to be having a great time. Daily play time and bushwalks keep them entertained and engaged. They were looking and smelling great after Kip Care, unexpectedly, bathed them, at their last visit, too. Thanks Kip Canberra for looking after our furry family members.

Mel Newton

Highly recommended. Our dogs are always excited to attend. We used the training program last board with great results. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The team communicate well.

Natasha C

We sent our dog to Kip Canberra for the 3 week training program. He's a sweet boy and tries hard, but at 40kg of pure muscle when his puppy excitement kicked in he was too much to handle. We tried our best to train him at home, but he needed that extra attention to get him over the line. We picked him up two weeks ago and he is a changed man. He walks so politely and really listens when we give him direction. Money well spent for a happy life with our Duke.

Madly Morgan

I am a regular customer who is always so grateful for the care and consideration the team show Madly and myself. I can not recommend their services enough! They are passionate about what they do and it shows!

Jason Sleeman

Kip Canberra is fantastic. Our dog is always happy to go there and when we go to collect her, she always washed, happy and healthy. All the carers do a great job of looking after your puppy.

Gene Elliott

Olaf had a great time and was well looked after.

Eleanor Cotterell

We put our German Shepherd Xena into Kip board and train due to reactivity issues. We still have a long way to go but the initial training with Kip has set us up and we have been going back for follow up sessions. Thanks to Janet and Annabelle who clearly love what they do and who see the potential for Xena to be her best self

Picked up Maxxy yesterday after a boarding and training stay. The training he received was awesome and I feel it’s set us up for long term success. We go back next week for a follow up training session and I know I can reach out to the trainers any time. I’m really happy and excited to continue learning with Maxxy and the Kip trainers.

Clare

I have been bringing my cat to Kip since he was a kitten, he always comes home happy, not stressed and at a healthy weight. The staff treat each animal like they are their own. We will always keep coming back.

Coralie Dass

It is so rewarding to be able to leave Harley at Kip Canberra knowing he is safe and being loved on by the staff there. Would happily leave Harley with them again. And I have a stress free holiday with pup updates too

tony smith

Our Bittany Spaniel, Lucy, had her first stay at Kip Canberra over the new year and to say we were impressed is an understatement. The staff are amazing and I highly recommend to anyone who is uncertain of where to board their pooch. Brilliant!!!

MATTHEW WILLIAMS

Absolutely awesome the girls looked after Sophie Williams. Great place and plenty of parking and do friendly too

Vicki Wallis

We had to attend a wedding out of town and although we didn't want to leave our very senior dog we felt assured his stay in the senior suite would be comfortable. The crew at Kip provide genuine loving care. Our junior dog also got all the attention she needed and had fun which the pics sent to us showed. Thank you.

Oliver Muscat

The staff are so helpful and friendly and our doggies always come home super happy!! Thanks guys keep up the great service!!

sonya davidson

Have used Kip several times and more than happy to recommend. My boys are never stressed to go there and the staff are brilliant .

Kaye Wilson

We left our two much beloved fur babies (1 canine and 1 feline) for five weeks in the care of the very capable and diligent staff at Kip Queanbeyan. The staff noted our dog was not eating as well as expected so this was communicated to me with a proposed plan which worked a treat. Every couple of days I would receive an email with photographs of both pets and their antics which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Kip Queanbeyan and their beautiful staff.

Clara Wilkins

Our anxious pup came back happy and relaxed- not a small thing for her! Both our babies were so well cared for by people who really understand animals. As nervous pet parents who had never put our babies in kennels before, I felt so happy knowing they were safe and cared for. These guys are amazing.

Kiernita bobbett

An excellent facility. This is the 2nd time our dog has stayed here and each time he has been happy. The staff are lovely, and so wonderful with the animals.

Deb Carroll

My furrages love Kip. I travel randomly (work, family etc) and they have always been able to help us in times of need. My furries need medications at odd hours and small regular meals because of medical issues. The team at Kip have been able to help. Great experience. Totally recommend

Nanz E

Left my Rottweiler, Cato, at Kip Canberra for 2 months and I can’t express enough my appreciation and praise for how well they looked after him. I didn’t have to worry as I know he is in good hands. He came back home with me happy and healthy. Thank you to everyone at Kip for looking after him! He missed you guys!

Andrew Loveday

I cannot overstate how happy I have been with Kip Canberra and their services! They had my American Staffy, Odin, who can be quite a handful (to say the least). Kip had Odin for nearly a month, I couldn’t be happier. I was kept thoroughly informed of how he was doing with both regular photos, and email communications. Sian, Loui and the team did exceptionally well to manage Odin’s behaviour and were very transparent with how they handled and worked with him! Odin has returned an incredibly happy, but also as a very well behaved dog. I cannot recommend Kip enough! Full marks!

As nervous pet parents who had never put our babies in kennels before, I felt so happy knowing they were safe and cared for. These guys are amazing.

An excellent facility. This is the 2nd time our dog has stayed here and each time he has been happy. The staff are lovely, and so wonderful with the animals.

My furrages love Kip. I travel randomly (work, family etc) and they have always been able to help us in times of need. My furries need medications at odd hours and small regular meals because of medical issues. The team at Kip have been able to help. Great experience. Totally recommend

Left my Rottweiler, Cato, at Kip Canberra for 2 months and I can’t express enough my appreciation and praise for how well they looked after him. I didn’t have to worry as I know he is in good hands. He came back home with me happy and healthy. Thank you to everyone at Kip for looking after him! He missed you guys!

I cannot overstate how happy I have been with Kip Canberra and their services! They had my American Staffy, Odin, who can be quite a handful (to say the least). Kip had Odin for nearly a month, I couldn’t be happier. I was kept thoroughly informed of how he was doing with both regular photos, and email communications. Sian, Loui and the team did exceptionally well to manage Odin’s behaviour and were very transparent with how they handled and worked with him! Odin has returned an incredibly happy, but also as a very well behaved dog. I cannot recommend Kip enough! Full marks!

Picked up Maxxy yesterday after a boarding and training stay. The training he received was awesome and I feel it’s set us up for long term success. We go back next week for a follow up training session and I know I can reach out to the trainers any time. I’m really happy and excited to continue learning with Maxxy and the Kip trainers.

I have been bringing my cat to Kip since he was a kitten, he always comes home happy, not stressed and at a healthy weight. The staff treat each animal like they are their own. We will always keep coming back.

It is so rewarding to be able to leave Harley at Kip Canberra knowing he is safe and being loved on by the staff there. Would happily leave Harley with them again. And I have a stress free holiday with pup updates too

Our Bittany Spaniel, Lucy, had her first stay at Kip Canberra over the new year and to say we were impressed is an understatement. The staff are amazing and I highly recommend to anyone who is uncertain of where to board their pooch. Brilliant!!!

MATTHEW WILLIAMS

Absolutely awesome the girls looked after Sophie Williams. Great place and plenty of parking and do friendly too

Vicki Wallis

We had to attend a wedding out of town and although we didn't want to leave our very senior dog we felt assured his stay in the senior suite would be comfortable. The crew at Kip provide genuine loving care. Our junior dog also got all the attention she needed and had fun which the pics sent to us showed. Thank you.

Oliver Muscat

Have used Kip several times and more than happy to recommend. My boys are never stressed to go there and the staff are brilliant .

We left our two much beloved fur babies (1 canine and 1 feline) for five weeks in the care of the very capable and diligent staff at Kip Queanbeyan. The staff noted our dog was not eating as well as expected so this was communicated to me with a proposed plan which worked a treat. Every couple of days I would receive an email with photographs of both pets and their antics which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Kip Queanbeyan and their beautiful staff.
