My puppy Elvis went into his first groom at Kip. I was so impressed with the groom; I was quite specific with what I asked for and they did an incredible job. Elvis left leaving very happy and I know he had been taken good care of, thank you team!

What makes Kip different?

Our groomers are highly skilled and trained in different grooming techniques to make sure your dog is comfortable to get the cleanest results.

Our golden retriever, George loves his weekly visit here. The staff are amazing and really ensure the beautiful dogs have an incredible time. Thanks Kip Hobart

Belinda Carroll

My two Labradors, Abbey (Rainbow Bridge) and Nova, have been attended doggy daycare with Club K9 and Kip for 13 years. Both absolutely love it. Nova knows which days are doggy daycare days. She adores everyone there!! I wouldn't trust anyone else to look after my best friend. I know when I drop her off, I have peace of mind that she is being well cared for and is safe, I couldn't recommend them more highly!! I appreciate the pictures of our four-legged friends who have passed on the shelf including my Abbey who passed in 2023. Abbey loved Kip and I'm sure she still goes in spirit every Tuesday and Thursday.

Awesome friendly best dog care ever

Super friendly and clearly care about the experience for our dogs

We have been taking our dog ‘Ted’ to Kip Hobart since he was 16 weeks (ish) old. It has been the absolute making of him into the ‘Peak Dog’ that we think he is now (approaching 2 years old). The staff are all brilliant, the little video for everyday he is there is fantastic and he’s so tired in the evening. More to the point, he is so well socialised that we are 100% confident with him around other people and other dogs. KIP should be compulsory for every dog owner. Thank you to all the staff at Kip Hobart for the last 18 months and for being an important part of the fabulous dog he has turned into.

Georgia Mars

My Pup loves going to Day Care. She is so excited to see the carers and really enjoys her time there. I find everyone who works there very friendly, helpful and they really care for the dogs who come in.

Lisa Wicks

Kip made our first experience so reassuring. Communication was fantastic, along with friendliness, lovely interaction and multiple daily updates. I walked away feeling like my boy was in wonderful hands. Thank you to all staff 🐾 So greatly appreciated.

crystal mcguinness

Minnie Moo

My pup gets so excited when she realises she's going to Kip. They're all lovely and she never looks back when I drop her off. I get video updates during the day which I really love. She has so much energy and plays hard all day and sleeps like a log afterwards. So win for her and a definite win for me too. I recommend Kip to anyone wanting to socialise their dog.

We used Kip Hobart whilst visiting the city for a few days during our 2 month trip around Tassie. What wonderful staff! So friendly and helpful. They text you updates and video footage of your dog. Our little dog Dolly had the best time. Thank you Kip Hobart.

Anna

My dog loves this place. He's always so happy when he comes out, like he's had the best day ever, every time.

My dog always has the best time here and is always so happy and well looked after there. The staff do an incredible job, are friendly, and I can tell they really care about Peach! Thanks so much Kip

Zeik Devereaux-McLean

We have been sending our deaf American Bulldog puppy, Daisy, to Kip weekly for over six months now. The staff at Kip are super accomodating, allowing us to socialise Daisy regularly without any concerns. Luke and all the staff are wonderful and have taken great interest in working with our very large, very boisterous, deaf dog. They have an easy booking system and reasonable availability at short notice for such a popular service. Highly recommend.

Suellen Taylor

Morty and Gem my two Staffies love their weekly visits to Kip. The team are fantastic and have an obvious love for what they do. It’s a great set up and it gives me comfort to know they are being well looked after while they socialise with other dogs. Highly recommend.

Iona Green

Fletcher loves his day a week at day care and is so excited to go. He knows when Wednesday is! He interacts with other dogs in a much more positive way now and is much more patient with younger dogs. Great people and great service!

Laura Harding

Kip is a lifesaver for us and our crazy dog who has been attending 3 days per week since he was a puppy. Kip provided our dog with a safe and fun environment to learn important social skills, so now he is a dream to take out and about around other dogs and humans. Our dog literally drags us to Kip’s door in the morning and he comes home exhausted. Thanks for everything and keep up the great work!

Kendall Aleckson

Denali has been going to Kip at least once a week for over three years. She started going when she was a little puppy and absolutely loves it!! The staff are all wonderful and the picture updates of her day are the best. She comes home a very happy and sleepy pup. Highly recommend!

shumita joseph

Kip has been fantastic for our dog Luca. I appreciate the thought and care the staff put into the dogs and their needs. Luca was initially reactive and overwhelmed. The staff were able to communicate this to me effectively. With time and small exposures Luca has made great progress. He now loves daycare - the staff, the dogs and the toys!
