Quality Care Designed for Happy & Comfortable Dogs

Alex Karas

Recently had my dog at Kip West for nearly 6 weeks and was very impressed with their attentiveness and continual updates - even adjusting food as required to ensure she maintained her weight adequately. Would you highly recommend.

Alfie and Rosie were well cared for over their 3 week stay. We looked forward to their consistent daily updates and videos which very much put our minds at ease to see them both having fun and socialising. Highly recommend Kip Melbourne West, whilst being some distance away, it’s well worth it as it afforded the space and the bushwalks that our doggies thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to all the staff who looked after our doggies with genuine care and cuddles. Much appreciated.

Once again, the team at Kip exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, George was greeted with enthusiasm and love. It's clear that the staff adore him. The daily photos and videos they share are a delightful touch, allowing me to see him happily playing and socialising with other dogs. It truly warmed my heart to see him enjoying himself so much. The activities provided keep the dogs engaged and happy. I appreciate the personalised care and attention given to George (especially with his medication), as I can tell he feels comfortable and loved during his stay. I cannot recommend Kip enough. If you're looking for a trustworthy and loving place for your fur baby, this is the place to go. Thank you to the entire team at Kip for making George's stay enjoyable and fun once again.

Pup had such a great time. I've only used Kip to board twice but my pup is always so happy and tuckered out from the plays by the time we come to get her. The updates and photos mean so much and really put your mind at ease, especially when boarding is so new to us. Thank you Kip! We will be back.

Anh Tran

We love taking our dogs and cats here because we know that staff here are genuinely happy to see them. We have whippets who can be unsettled by other dogs and unfamiliar environments. However even the dogs get excited and love the playtime with other dogs. The staff even washed them for us once. The photo updates are also really great. Highly recommended.

Amanda

Kobi loved Kip Boarding Melbourne West. They sent daily updates and were friendly and communicative. I loved his photo and report card. Thank you Kip!

Maria Karpouzidis

Having received daily updates put me at ease, but most of all, knowing how happy Zoro was when I picked him up, was all I needed to see to confirm that Zoro had the time of his life and was very well cared for. Many thanks to the staff working at Kip - Bacchus Marsh

Barbara Durham

My two adopted dogs, a mini dachshund and her daughter were looked after excellently by Kip. I had them for 9 months and they spent almost 6 weeks 4 days at the kennels. I appreciated the pictures and videos of their progress being sent daily during my trip overseas. Their behaviour with strange dogs and humans had miraculously improved ...The videos of Mitsi in particular relating to other dogs during playtime was not possible before. I'll certainly use Kip again Barbara

Jo Kime

I was so impressed with kip Melbourne West. I felt a sense of relief that Rocky was in good hands after check in. The staff were friendly and happy to see rocky. Receiving updates and pics helped me relax knowing he was happy. To be greeted with such a happy dog made me feel happy. To also receive a report on his stay made it extra special and he was well looked after. He will be coming back for more stays.

Wendy Doan

Thanks to the team at Melbourne West on taking such amazing care of Casper. The daily photos and videos over his two weeks stay was so great to see. Seems like Casper had an awesome time while we were away. Happy to hear that he got heaps of cuddles.

Desiree Sawrey

Wow 🤩 I am blown away by the level of care, love and nurturing provided by the amazing staff at Kip Melbourne West who just cared for our two doggies Arnie and Whitesox as well as our kitties Otis and Juniper. Millie would have to be the kindest and most patient animal lover on the planet and I was instantly put at ease when she arrived to transport our furry friends for their three night vacation. I received daily updates and so many incredible photos along the way. Little Arnie is already missing his friends from his playgroup. Thank you so much for all the love you have given to our babies. We will definitely see you again 🫶

Cannot recommend the Kip Melbourne West team more! Had to board my boy Oreo for nearly 3 weeks over the Easter period, for the first time since we adopted him, and the team were amazing. From the home pick up, where the handler was kind, helpful and really acknowledged his behaviour warnings (not good with other dogs) and our nerves, to the daily photo / video updates, and just seeing them interact with him throughout his stay was great. Highly recommend them to others and will definitely use them again in future!

Julia Hailes

My older doggies had the most fantastic care & love given to them during their 4 weeks stay. I received regular photos & videos of them which was wonderful being a long way away. I could see my rescue dog gained confidence and relaxed over time as the team offered her calm and relaxed attention. They clearly took time to get to know each dog well. The managers were brilliant - Cassie was right on the ball with noticing any changes and responding effectively to these. Their diet/ behaviour/ medications/ health were monitored really well. I could see in the photos how happy they were and attached to the team. Amazing care! Highly recommend. Worth every cent. Huge thank you to the whole team ❤️❤️❤️

Don Dissanayake

The best place we've ever found for our dog! Our dog Rocky thoroughly enjoyed his 10-day stay here, and we would highly recommend it to anyone. They sent us daily photos and videos showing how much fun Rocky was having, and the pictures were absolutely beautiful. The space is much larger compared to other places we've seen, and Rocky's own cage was more spacious than at any other facility. The girls who looked after Rocky were amazing—they truly cared for him, and after staying there, he literally forgot about us! We couldn't be happier with the experience.

Daniel Johnson

The team at Kip recently had our beautiful golden “Doug” with them while we went away for a holiday. Best decision ever! The constant updates and photos of our boy kept us at ease knowing he was having all the fun and making so many new friends! Honestly cannot recommend the team enough. Even included a report card at the end of stay which is a really personal touch and has sealed us to be customers for the future! Thank you team ❤️

Kathleen Bent

My dog Hayley has been to Kip West a few times now and she loves it. I love the daily photos and she always has a big smile on her face. The staff really look after her. She needs twice daily eye drops and her eyes look better than when she left home so really happy. I highly recommend Kip and love the pick up and drop off. This time there was even a report card and certificate which is really a great idea. I’m pleased to say she was a good girl🥰

Jamie Stirk

Our girls seem to always have the best time here! The staff are super friendly and I love the fact that they put daily if not twice daily updates via their web portal. It's so reassuring seeing updates each day! Thank you for taking such good care of our girls.

Dee Cee

Our husky cross and kelpie cross recently stayed at Kip West for the second time and we were so pleased by the service provided. The online portal was amazing, we were so happy to be able to login each day we were away and see photo updates. One of our dogs has a food anxiety related sickness that make her ill when not managed well, and Kip did a great job managing this and providing us updates on how she was going. We had a really negative experience with another dog boarding kennels before this one, that left me really anxious about going away and leaving our dogs in boarding, but the team at Kip made us feel really reassured that they were in good hands and were so grateful: The drop off service was also a life saver after a long flight home. Thanks Kip West ☺️

Chrissie Warren

Archie loves visiting you guys. He is happy to stay every time. I love the daily updates and love seeing him smile in the photo's. I know he is happy and well loved by all his carers. Thank you for celebrating his 10th birthday with him, when I couldn't. Archie will definitely come back for another visit xx

Leanne Hoy

Our GSP Odin loves staying at Kip West Melbourne, he is always happy when we drop him off and more importantly when we pick him up! It’s so reassuring to know he is well cared for there and the daily photo updates also add to this.
