Meet the Team

Luke Andrews

Luke

Cluster Manager

Luke (and Padfoot) have been part of the Kip community for several years. He comes with a wealth of experience and has proven it every day. His passion for dogs and his team is unquestionable, and he throws himself into every challenge with energy and enthusiasm.

“Seeing the process of dogs from their first day and growing in confidence visit by visit is always super rewarding. The mixture of being able to work with dogs and have so much fun at work but also conversing with so many lovely owners as well.”

Aimee

Site Manager

Aimee brings with her a wealth of knowledge in the daycare and pet care space. With a natural affinity for dogs and a dedication to their well-being, Aimee ensures a fun and safe environment for all our furry guests. She has shown initiative and always does every task with a smile, so it’s no wonder she’s loved by both dogs and parents alike.

How we do things

Two happy dogs at Kip Marrickville

Human contact & plenty of socialisation

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 spacious play yards.

Dog transport at Kip

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 essential 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.

What makes Kip different?

Kip is by pet owners, for pet owners. We started this thing because we know that our four-legged friends deserve the best.

More Socialisation

Our Marrickville location has plenty of spacious pens, the perfect place to play with new friends!

Happier

Personalised care, cuddles, regular massages and lots of human contact with every visit.

Clean dog

Cleaner

Those staying with us for a while are treated to a deluxe hydro bath and blow dry on departure at no extra charge.

Safer

Secure fencing, double gates and an expert team of carers make Kip an ultra-secure place for your dog to stay and play.

Kip Marrickville is just AMAZING! The staff are wonderful and our Beagle, Baby Monty, loves his Thursdays with Meringue, Peanut, Colby, Buster, and the rest of the crew!!!

Our dog Zeb has been going to Kip Marrickville for almost a year and a half, and it's his absolute favourite place in the world! They offer long hours that fits with work schedules, the trainers are all so lovely and we've really noticed improvements in our dog's socialisation when he is going regularly. Can't praise the trainers enough for the work they do!

Joshua Handley

I cannot thank the staff at Kip enough for how they have brought our dog out of his shell. We adopted a rescue greyhound, Benji. He's a great dog but he'd never been a pet before. He's had to learn how to be around strangers and small dogs. Thanks to his weekly visits to Kip, he's much calmer and gentler with the world. He's even become curious about unfamiliar things rather than hesitant. The staff have socialised him, cared for him, and treated him with the dignity he was robbed of for so many years. I cannot recommend this place more.

Kate Rayson

We’ve been using Kip for a few months now and couldn’t be happier with the care the team gives our pup, Link. We’ve tried a few different daycares, and Kip has been by far our favourite. The staff genuinely care and are hands-on with the dogs all day long. We love that they play games, match dogs by size and energy, and also know when to give them time out for naps. The daily debriefs and multiple videos of him playing are such a great touch. It’s clear they’re really paying attention and also do a bit of behavioural training too. When Link first started, he was a bit nervous around other dogs, but now he’s confident and plays so well with dogs of all breeds and sizes. We 100% recommend Kip Marrickville! (Pic of Link and his daycare bestie below.)

Tristan Michelsons

Chilli absolutely loves her days at Kip Marrickville! The drop-off process is always smooth, the staff are genuinely wonderful, and you can tell they care deeply about the dogs. They send updates while she’s there - sometimes a video, sometimes a bunch of photos - and it’s always great to see how much fun she’s having. She comes home happy and completely exhausted (in the best way). We feel so lucky to have found a place that gives her that much joy. Can’t recommend them highly enough - true peace of mind for any dog parent!

Millie

Kip Marrickville has been a lifesaver for both myself and my dog. I work in the office most days of the week and knowing he is looked after by staff who love and care for him makes the world of difference. The team at Kip have always been knowledgeable, caring and understanding and it's clear to me they have the best interests of all dogs in mind. They have helped to socialise my excitable French Bulldog (who was admittingly an under-socialised COVID puppy) as well as teach him good manners that extend beyond playtime. I will be sending him there for as long as I can!

Adrian Walker

Our girl has been going to Kip since it opened. The staff are amazing, take great care of her. The photo and video updates are such a keepsake, I especially love the Polaroids for events! Completely comfortable leaving our most precious girl with them. She comes home so happy, content and sleepy 😂

Guthriessa Tjiong

Knowledgeable staff and my boy always has a fun day playing with the cav gang! Love the updates and seeing all his friends

Jessica Palazzolo-Townsend

Kip Marrickville has been nothing but amazing. We started attending Kip once a week for our staffy who required some support socialising with other dogs. We were so worried she wouldn’t pass the initial assessment and that Kip wouldn’t be the right fit, however, Dia was exceptional. You could tell from the moment we brought our little girl that Dia and her team knew exactly what they were doing. We now attend Kip regularly and I couldn’t be more happier with how they look after our girl and all the skills she has learnt along the way. I can confidently take my dog out and she has no issues interacting with other dogs. I feel so safe knowing our pup is in great hands with staff that really love all the dogs. Thank you Dia and Kip Marrickville - Pip loves seeing you guys every week ❤️

Suz Denadija

AMAZING! 5 stars! They looked after my little puppy, Maxi, exceptionally well. Kept me informed and are genuinely kind, caring and understanding. Highly recommend! Thank you.

Rosie Reid (Rosie and Aaron)

Roxy had a fabulous and fun day on her first day she was so tired when I picked her up and today would be her second day at kip, Roxy was so excited to walk through the door and she couldn’t wait to meet all her furry buddies. I would definitely bringing her back to Kip The staff are amazing and I can trust them with my Roxy as they all love animals and I know she’ll be looked after by the team. Thank you all ❤️

Danielle Alvarez

Me and my dogs adore Kip! They get so excited to get there and love playing with all the kipsters all day. The best is that they then arrive back home tired and relaxed. The staff really care about the dogs as if they were their own and I know I don’t have to worry about them. We love Kip Marrickville!

NN Z

As a new puppy mom I was anxious about sending a 5 months old to dog daycare, but Remy and her team were nothing but sweet, knowledgeable and patient with Poppy. They provided a lot of insight about her day, and celebrated progress with us. I can see Poppy is enjoying every moment at Kip with her silly smiling face, and came home with lots of improvement. Thank you team. I'm definitely a happy returning customer.

Stanley Sapounas

Kip was excellent bella can’t wait to get into the door when we get there !!!

Cassie Sawyer

We’ve had such a positive experience with Kip Marrickville! My 5 month old puppy is quite nervous around other dogs and anxious when alone. The first couple of sessions he was so nervous to go, but he’s started racing in to greet the team and see the other dogs. It’s been great seeing his confidence grow and the kind way the team look after the dogs. The team is so lovely and Ellen in particular was so so helpful for our daycare day this week. Thanks so much again!

Stephanie Bell

Bertie loves going to KIP Marrickville! He is a rescue and had a difficult life before, so I was a bit worried about how he would find daycare (he was scared/shy of people and new things). The staff at KIP have really helped build his confidence and bring out his playful side. He now cries with excitement every time we pull up.

Alex Young

Our 2 huskies had their first ever daycare experience at Kip Marrickville Dog Day Care last week and had a ball. We are visiting Sydney from the country and now have an amazing place to look after our dogs a few days each week. The team are fantastic and caring, they take a real interest in each dog. They came home happy and tired.

Anna Ceguerra

Gives detailed feedback on how my dog went in a daycare environment. You can tell they really care about their charges from the updates they send and the way they respond to the dogs. My dog loves it there, I can tell by the way she pulls the lead towards the entrance when we arrive!

Donnie and Lottie love going to Kip Newtown, they get so exited even before they get through the front door! When I pick them up they’re wagging their tails all the way home. Good job Kip.

The team at Kip Marrickville cared for our pup so well when were down in Sydney for a few days. They were very friendly, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable! Would highly recommend to others and would definitely come back again when we're in the area.

Been going to Kip for a year and my dog Molly loves it (and we love it too because she always comes home exhausted)! Thanks to the team at Kip she loves the crate and has learnt how to play and relax with other dogs!

Kip Marrickville Dog Day Care is a great place. I love going there,& taking my fur baby, who loves going there.Its pretty relaxing & Calm stepping in there.They have got a large glass window where I could see my Rusty & other doggies interact with each other, & have fun. The staff are extremely nice & very professional.I am so very happy & glad, I found kip. I would recommend kip 💯% .Thank you kip for taking care of my Baby.

My little sausage Boffy has been going to Kip Marrickville since he got he was around 16 weeks old. The staff at Kip really look out for him, and I really appreciate that they are honest with how Boffy is going. Boffy is always super excited to go to daycare, especially on weensdays, which is fast becoming his favourite day of the week.

Colby, my 4 month old Boxer loves going to Kip more than anything as far as I can tell. Driving him here has basically cured his car anxiety single-handedly since he is so excited about going there. I feel so comfortable taking him here on the days neither my partner nor I can stay home to take care of him. I have a feeling I might start to feel bad if we don't have a need to take him there for more than a week or so!

Buster (our Boston Terrier) has a larger than life personality and heaps of energy! Kip Marrickville are wonderful with him - unlike other day cares they’ve taken the time to understand him and work with him on how to play well with other dogs, big and small. And he has so much fun! He is exhausted when he gets home and so excited to go back for his weekly visit. The videos and socials during the day are awesome with new activities each week. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better team to take care of him.

Nicole Collins

Couldn't recommend this Dog Daycare highly enough. The staff are amazing!!! So knowledgeable and so caring. Our little fluff ball can't get in the door quick enough. The whole experience has surpassed my expectations and I am so happy our Buddy loves his time there. Thank you for helping us regain our freedom.

F David

Absolutely love Kip Marrickville (as does our cavoodle - Maple!) The staff are friendly and fantastic with all the dogs - they always have feedback about behavior/interactions and you can see activity updates through Instagram and your account. It's easy to trust the staff as they genuinely love and care about dogs and keep them entertained for hours. Maple always has a great time and is completely worn out afterwards! Thoroughly Kip doggy daycare!!

Marnie

Our boys love going to Kip. They can’t wait to get out of the car when we arrive and they are always tired at the end of the day.

Sian Gard

I moved to the area with my very shy, sweet greyhound Lucy 2 months ago. I have been takibg Lucy to Kip, Marrickville since arriving and she has blossmed. Lucy loves her 'school' days. The staff are super gentle with Lucy and kind and because of this she has embraced her time at Kip. I am so thankful that I know my girl is safe and happy at doggy daycare.

Kate Field

I have a rescue Husky that I adopted six months ago. He lacked at lot of social skills and really needed some guidance on how to behave with other dogs. Not only were the staff at Kip super knowledgeable and informative, they are so invested in his development and have really made such a difference to his behaviour. They gave me some great advice and referred me to a wonderful trainer. I can’t talk highly enough about the team there and my experience. Thank you so much for all you do!!

erin mcfadden

My 6 month dachshund Winnie absolutely loves Kip! He went in with not a lot of confidence with other dogs and the girls have helped him build his confidence and he now can’t wait to get there to play with all the other dogs! The girls absolutely love Winnie and are all so lovely! I love receiving the pupdates and the instagram stories are just the best!!! Thanks Kip for loving Winnie just as much as I do!

Zara arguelles

My dog bambi loves coming here ! They take such good care of him with activities, cuddles, playing with other dogs, photos all day and videos it’s definitely a peace of mind when at work !!! Would recommend anyone with an anxious dog that struggles to be alone.

Rena Dolak

My pup so happy and kipooped after play. They always update us with the video. And my husband said the ladies there are ver friendly and treat our pup lovingly. Thank you KIP team!

Aidan Kelly

Kip Marrickville are the most organised and precessional doggy daycare we have experienced. They have done such a great job of looking after our little chihuahua Diana and their daily update videos are always hilarious.
