Our dog boarding retreats feel more like holidays than kennels! đ´đžâď¸ Spacious grounds, daily enrichment, and transport from Melbourne - your dogâs relaxing escape starts at Kip.

Great affordable place for your pup to stay. Love the photo and video updates of the shared playtime. Odin didnât seem like he wanted to leave and come home will definitely be using Kip for future holidays.

This is the first time my boy Sunny has been left in the care of a pet boarding service so I was a bit nervous leaving him. With all the photos and short videos of him playing with other dogs and very happy put my mind at ease. The staff are very friendly and reassuring. I wouldnât hesitate in sending him again.

We absolutely love Kip Melbourne West, and so does our dog Gus. He's always so eager to go there that he gleefully jumps in their van and doesn't look back. The staff are terrific and they genuinely care for the pets, and their support service is terrific. We really love the photo updates they send each day too. Photos of Gus on his bushwalks, having fun! They are definitely the best kennel we've ever used.

The team at Kip were amazing. They were so good with our two very nervous, difficult dogs, and as it was the first time we left them anywhere we were very nervous ourselves. The dogs settled in well and we will definitely be repeat customers when we next need to go away. Thank you!
Rae Palwizat
Excellent!! My Layna ( Jack Russel ) loved her first stay at KIP! I really thought sheâs not gonna want to go home!! Totally will be taking her there again for more holidays!!! Such lovely caring staff. I have total confidence in their loving care!!
Courtney Reid
Daily photo and updates were great, they put our mind at ease when leaving them for a few nights when we had to go away. Both dogs looked so happy in every update. I emailed after the first night to get a more detailed update (stressed doggy mum and dad) and received a quick and very detailed response. Being able to drop them off at a closer location and have them collected from there was so helpful as I wouldnât have been able to get them to the boarding kennels with work. The report card and Polaroid photo of them on pick up was such a cute touch, this is now on our fridge. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the pets that they look after, will absolutely be using again in future when needed!

Our dog has stayed here twice and each time we have really appreciated the regular updates with photos and videos as well as the report card. The staff are all lovely and very clearly dedicated to the animals.

I was particularly impressed by the level of care given to Zoe. She came home happy and just her usual self. You listened well to my information about Zoe. Loved the daily photos and videos. All helped to make me feel relaxed and confident about her time with you. Will definitely use your facilities for Zoe again

I was reluctant to travel overseas due to concern for my 2 pups who are like children to me and my husband. After numerous research we decided on Kip and cannot be more pleased with our decision. I received daily photos and updates, sometimes twice a day, and it was clear that my pups were thoroughly enjoying their stay. They looked so happy that I said to my husband that Iâm worried they might not want to come home đ. My dogs are not the easiest as they donât get along with strange dogs but the lady at Kip ensured that they were kept seperate and received lots of love and cuddles. She also spent one on one time with them in their room when it was raining. She was really amazing and my pups adored her. The accomodation could not have been any better, they had comfy beds and a Tv, all the luxuries they have at home. They loved their regular walks in the bush and I could not stop smiling whilst watching the videos of them exploring and searching for rabbits. On the day that we collected our pups we were given a rapport card and a photo on how they performed during their stay. It was such a special touch and I was overwhelmed reading the beautiful comments. Thank you to everyone at Kip and especially the lady that took such amazing care of Coco and Frankie, I will definitely return and highly recommend Kip to anyone that might be hesitant to leave their pups with anyone else. I have tried other dog resorts previously and have not had the same great experiences. Kip loves animals as much as you love your pups đś

I know our little Tailor had the best time while we were away! The daily photos and videos were so amazing to see and in every vid and photo our dog was soooo happy! It made our time away a lot more enjoyable knowing our fur baby was enjoying her holiday too. Highly recommend

Oh MY LORD- I got my two babies back - BETTER THAN HOW I SENT THEM TO YOU LOVE đ is a mummyâs boy who was anxious about everything I do⌠but now sits and watches me and walkes calmly⌠itâs like heâs experienced something better and wonders whyâs he back in our cramped one bedroom apartment⌠And Luna- well little Miss Independence is not grumpy đĄ and sheâs out asking for cuddles and food- sheâs got gumption! Iâm definitely going to be booking them in for regular CAMP-outs with KIP WEST
Peppi
Harvey was very happy when he came home l like to thank everyone for looking after him this photo is of my dog before Harvey
Rob Wilson
They looked after my mum's aggressive attack cat and managed to pet her and cuddle her. Extraordinary effort put in. Been to other kennels. These guys are number one in pet care. It truly is a pet resort
Nerrida Bateman
Our boy Ari always looks like heâs having the best time in the frequent video and photo updates we get. He comes home healthy, happy and exhausted from all his playing with his friends. Makes leaving him stress free.
Rex Sarmiento
Absolutely exceeded our expectations. I can tell they loved their stay there. We will see you again in the future. We are so happy that we chose your service. Thumbs up! Thank you so much :) - from Willow the pillow and Yana banana!!!
Ann Pandolas
Our first time ever boarding our two Bichons, and as a very nervous dog parent, I honestly couldnât have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely at ease â they are true dog people who genuinely care. The facility is fantastic, set close to nature with plenty of space, making it both comfortable and enriching for all the pups. Most importantly, our boys were happy, settled, and clearly well cared for throughout their stay. We absolutely loved receiving daily photo and video updates, which made such a difference and gave us so much reassurance that they were having a great time. You could really see the attention, patience, and love the team gives to every pup. We picked up two very happy pups and wouldnât hesitate to board them again at Kip Melbourne West. Highly recommend â especially for fellow nervous first-timers!
Michelle
We had such a wonderful experience with Kip while our GSD stayed for just over two weeks. From day one, the team were incredibly warm, welcoming, and reassuring, which made the transition so much easier for both us and our dog. We really appreciated the daily updates, as it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was settling in and being cared for. You can genuinely tell how much they care about the pets in their care. Wouldnât hesitate to book again and highly recommend.
Ruth Stanley
From the moment my fur baby was picked up, to his drop off back at our house, Kip was exceptional. It was obvious that the staff love their jobs and the animals they care for. In the daily photos that I was sent, my cat looked comfortable and well cared for. I was so happy to see him snuggling up with his carers and relaxing on his very own cat balcony! I will definitely be using Kip again.
Lucienne Impala
Our pup has stayed here twice, both times the service and staff have been phenomenal. 100% recommend Kip boarding services, our pup Pascal always has the best time there.
Ash Weerasekera
Amazing max has been boarding for years now the team have gone above beyond to take care of little max he comes home more confident every time he loves interacting with his neighbours and follows the staff around .he has come out of being very shy and nervous canât wait to come back thank you once again
Cathy Xiao
I am completely impressed by at least one photo and one video a day which I am sure it took them good amount of time and effort for us to have a peace of mind. Luna had great time and came back more behaved:). Thanks Kip Melbourne West.
Jarney Newey
Hazel and George had a great time at Kip. Theyâll definitely be back for another holiday
DC Man
This was our fist time with Kip. They were great, photos/videos sent regularly (daily) so we got peace of mind and at the end a short one pager with how our dog did
Victor Elkhoury
Our dogs enjoyed their time. We loved getting updates and photos.
Ryan Ilahi
Great with my cat and enjoyed the daily photos +videos
Kathryn Page
My dogs have never been away from us before. I was hesitant. However, the communication from Kip was fantastic with updated photos and little messages. We absolutely love our dogs. But now we have found Kip. We have found some freedom to be able to travel again. The collection and drop off was amazingly smooth and easy. Our dogs were returned. Healthy. Clean. Calm and I will not hesitate to leave them with the Kip team again. To all at Kip who lovingly took care of our treasures. A big Thank-you. Andria
marie lizabelle aron
We are so glad that our puppy Akio had his first kennel experience at KIP Melbourne West. We really like for him to socialise and have friends of his own age (6 months old) because he does not have any playmate because most of my friends dogs are all seniors now. KIP was able to give Akio that kind of experience looking at the awesome photos and videos they sent us. Thank you KIP and Akio is looking forward to come back this weekend.
Susan Garbutt
Moo Tanner and Gypsy with 3 very different personalities all had an amazing stay. Thanks for loving them like we do !!!

Our beautiful Viszla Nala just finished a 5 week stay and absolutely loved it. She can be a bit high maintenance but the team here were amazing. The daily photos mean you can relax and enjoy your holiday knowing your other family is safe and happy. Communication throughout was great too. We wonât ever look elsewhere. We love this team!!

But now we have found Kip. We have found some freedom to be able to travel again. The collection and drop off was amazingly smooth and easy. Our dogs were returned. Healthy. Clean. Calm and I will not hesitate to leave them with the Kip team again. To all at Kip who lovingly took care of our treasures. A big Thank-you. Andria

We are so glad that our puppy Akio had his first kennel experience at KIP Melbourne West. We really like for him to socialise and have friends of his own age (6 months old) because he does not have any playmate because most of my friends dogs are all seniors now. KIP was able to give Akio that kind of experience looking at the awesome photos and videos they sent us. Thank you KIP and Akio is looking forward to come back this weekend.

Our beautiful Viszla Nala just finished a 5 week stay and absolutely loved it. She can be a bit high maintenance but the team here were amazing. The daily photos mean you can relax and enjoy your holiday knowing your other family is safe and happy. Communication throughout was great too. We wonât ever look elsewhere. We love this team!!

Harvey was very happy when he came home l like to thank everyone for looking after him this photo is of my dog before Harvey

They looked after my mum's aggressive attack cat and managed to pet her and cuddle her. Extraordinary effort put in. Been to other kennels. These guys are number one in pet care. It truly is a pet resort

Our boy Ari always looks like heâs having the best time in the frequent video and photo updates we get. He comes home healthy, happy and exhausted from all his playing with his friends. Makes leaving him stress free.
Rex Sarmiento
Absolutely exceeded our expectations. I can tell they loved their stay there. We will see you again in the future. We are so happy that we chose your service. Thumbs up! Thank you so much :) - from Willow the pillow and Yana banana!!!

Our first time ever boarding our two Bichons, and as a very nervous dog parent, I honestly couldnât have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely at ease â they are true dog people who genuinely care. The facility is fantastic, set close to nature with plenty of space, making it both comfortable and enriching for all the pups. Most importantly, our boys were happy, settled, and clearly well cared for throughout their stay. We absolutely loved receiving daily photo and video updates, which made such a difference and gave us so much reassurance that they were having a great time. You could really see the attention, patience, and love the team gives to every pup. We picked up two very happy pups and wouldnât hesitate to board them again at Kip Melbourne West. Highly recommend â especially for fellow nervous first-timers!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kip while our GSD stayed for just over two weeks. From day one, the team were incredibly warm, welcoming, and reassuring, which made the transition so much easier for both us and our dog. We really appreciated the daily updates, as it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was settling in and being cared for. You can genuinely tell how much they care about the pets in their care. Wouldnât hesitate to book again and highly recommend.

From the moment my fur baby was picked up, to his drop off back at our house, Kip was exceptional. It was obvious that the staff love their jobs and the animals they care for. In the daily photos that I was sent, my cat looked comfortable and well cared for. I was so happy to see him snuggling up with his carers and relaxing on his very own cat balcony! I will definitely be using Kip again.
Lucienne Impala
Our pup has stayed here twice, both times the service and staff have been phenomenal. 100% recommend Kip boarding services, our pup Pascal always has the best time there.
Ash Weerasekera
Amazing max has been boarding for years now the team have gone above beyond to take care of little max he comes home more confident every time he loves interacting with his neighbours and follows the staff around .he has come out of being very shy and nervous canât wait to come back thank you once again
Cathy Xiao
I am completely impressed by at least one photo and one video a day which I am sure it took them good amount of time and effort for us to have a peace of mind. Luna had great time and came back more behaved:). Thanks Kip Melbourne West.

Hazel and George had a great time at Kip. Theyâll definitely be back for another holiday
