Our high-energy girl always comes home tired, and it gives me peace of mind knowing she is being looked after and having fun while we’re at work.

Wonderful environment for the pups and great staff.
Lisa Goff
Staff are friendly and good at knowing all the dogs and their quirks. My boy mostly goes here for the cuddles and they don’t disappoint! Staff always go above and beyond for the dogs. Thanks for taking such good care of our best friends.
Ray Wiggins
Kip has helped my elder boy to find his confidence with others. After spending time in shelter before adoption Bruce had been a bit of a solitary soul. Kip has helped him learn to play again. Comes home tired and ready to settle - would and have recommended Kip to others.
Matty Sales
Welcoming staff. Updates every day and also as a transport location for boarding

Our mini schnauzer loves her days at Kip! And she comes home pooped. I love getting pictures and videos during the day, showing me all the fun she’s having.
Jonathan Lambrianidis (jlamb)
Our dog loves it so much at Kip in Fairfield that she gives me full blown attitude when I go to pick her up and take her home. The Kip crew are amazing with the dogs and you can really tell the dogs love them to bits!
Simon Francis
Cleo loves it there - easy drop off and pick up and updates about the dog through the day. Really good.

We love bringing our dog to Kip, the staff are amazing, great online system and the social media updates always make our day! Can't recommend this place enough ☺️
Georgia Donovan Kramarski Vargas
Our dog Eddie has been attending Kip Fairfield for some months now, he absolutely loves it, great crew there looking after our fur baby. Eddie comes home absolutely exhausted!
joan sebastian kramarski vargas
I love this place. My dog Eddie is always super excited when I taking him there, staff is friendly and they love doggies… perfect place to take your dog once or twice a week.
Nicky Lock
Our dog LOVES going to KIP! He's scratching at the door to get in at drop off and we have to carry or drag him to car to go home! Haha. He's a Big Bull Arab pup so the struggle is real! Highly recommend! They're such "dog people" there... You can tell they adore all the doggos! Pic: screenshot of Kip's insta of our happy boy with his mates at KIP.
Michael O'Keeffe
Our dog gains so much from attending Kip. Fairfield is her second Kip location and it is amazing. Her social skills are outstanding because of the work that the team at Kip do with her each week. Highly recommended!
Seba Valentine
A good daycare. My one started socialising more with other dogs. Also they gave a good bath on request.
Nick
The staff here are wonderful. They send adorable updates, and make sure our excitable dog takes rest breaks, and are always very friendly. Highly recommend.
Erica Schulz
Love Kip Fairfield. My dog always has the best time here, and comes home tired and ready for a rest. The staff are all really lovely, it’s easy to book and you get super cute video and photo updates throughout the day.

The staff were very attentive and caring towards my dog . Kevin ( dog ) exhibits some challenging behaviours and the staff gave great feedback and managed his behaviour really well . Thank you
Simon B
I bring our precious pup here every week & I know that she is in for a great time! The staff are fun, courteous, completely trustworthy & have a genuine love of dogs. Don';t even think twice - get a membership & treat your dog!!
Sarah McGavin
I've seen the biggest change in Murphy since attending Kip Fairfield - he is happy, trained, socialised, and genuinely has the best time. He jumps out of the car without a second thought ready for a fun day. Getting an update each time he attends is excellent, and fun pics during the day, the team have brought him out of his shell and it's absolutely down to his days at daycare. I've recommended Kip Fairfield to all my doggo friends! Thanks for all you do for little Murphy ❤️
J E Webster
Our little pug boy has been going to Kip Fairfield since he was about 6 months old. We love the team, he loves the team, and he always comes him Kip-ooped ready for a good sleep. It has been amazing for his social skills with other dogs, and helps with his separation anxiety.
Ryan Hon
Ollie has been attending Kip at Fairfield since he's a small little pup. We value and love the care the staff provided to Ollie. The team is also great at addressing any matters raised 👏🏻 we cannot fathom how Ollie would turn out if he hadn't attended Kip!
Raven Kodama
This place is wonderful.
Karen Brown
Our Staffie Duke absolutely loves it at Kip! The staff are all about looking after the dogs, and making sure they have a great time. Duke is always so excited to arrive at the front door! Staff are great to deal with, and give really helpful feedback.
Ingrid Schulz
Our dog has been going to Kip since he was four months old - he’s now two and a half, and Kip days are his favourite days! He’s always thrilled to go, and the videos of him goofing around there prove he loves it.
ehsan nikrad
We have been bringing our miniature Groodle, Sigmund, to Kip Fairfield at least once a week for the past two years. Our pooch really loves it and we have never had a bad experience. Staff have always been lovely and supportive.
Evelyn Bender
Alfie could not love his Kip family more! The staff are beyond amazing and will keep you updated with the best photos and videos while you are at work. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would! Thank you for being so good to our Alfie Bear 🐶❤️
Andrew Mahony
Ollie our black GSD always has an awesome day at Kip Fairfield - socializing, showing off his soccer skills, working on training, general enrichment and being a good boy!

Our mini Aussie Olive has been going once a week for a year and absolutely loves coming here. Olive is very attached to our family and is generally not interested in other humans, but she adores all the girls and can’t control herself when she sees them. Olive is also a very active dog and it’s hard to tire her out but she comes back from Kip very satisfied. Can’t recommend it enough.
