Sharma M.
I have no words except 5 stars!!! Teddy had a long stay at Kip. We were so worried because he’s never been in boarding before this. We received photos & videos each and every day & it made us feel so calm & allowed us to actually enjoy our holiday more knowing that he was well taken care of.

How we do things
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 and bushwalking trails.
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.
