How we do things

Dog playing with ball

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.

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.

Shelley K

We were so so pleased with our precious boy’s stay at Kip. Our puppy is very shy & very attached to us so we were really worried about being apart from him. The staff at Kip were so reassuring and so kind. From the staff during the booking process to the pick up on collection day, to the daily updates of our puppy adjusting, meeting new friends and being cared for by the very gentle and loving staff. We felt more reassured each day. He even came home smelling beautiful and clean after a couple of weeks of lots of outdoor play. We highly recommend

Leesa Kelly

KIP are the best, my dog Woody was picked up by Steph KIP transport driver on time and very professional. I received daily updates from KIP - Woody had a blast during Social Play, I highly recommend. We picked up Woody, he was extremely happy and very clean, smelt amazing. He loves his holidays at KIP. Always a pleasure, easy to book, professional and friendly staff, door to door service, thank you again KIP for taking such good care of our Woody

Michael Byrne

Have used this place regularly for many years. My dogs love it and get so excited at drop off. The people there are great.

Karen Dudley

Leaving my anxious Labrador, Summer, for her first extended stay for 3 weeks was nerve wracking for me. I was so worried about her but I needn’t have been. The daily photos and videos I received from the team at Kip Mornington reassured me that she was thoroughly enjoying her stay and having the absolute best time with her new doggy friends. Highly recommend Kip Mornington especially if your dog has anxiety or other needs requiring a little bit of TLC and personal attention.

Phillip Braden

We all love our pets and leaving my best friend with KIP Mornington was the best decision we made for our dog,he had an absolute ball and we received daily photos and videos showing him playing and being well looked after,I highly recommend KIP for boarding of your dog as it was a holiday for him too,thanks to all the staff

Renee

We used Kip Mornington for the first time and they were amazing. I have a reactive dog but they confirmed they could cater for her with solo accomodation, which was very reassuring. The daily updates were fantastic and having solo walk and play options worked really well for us. Her medication was give daily and all the staff were lovely. My dog came home tired and happy. We will definitely use Kip again.

Shellee Hobbs

This was my dogs first time at a kennel. He’s particularly nervous but it helped that he could board with his brother. The facilities were good & the additional option offerings (paddock play/bush walk etc) were good. The photo & video updates were so lovely to see whilst we were away!

jessica nurney

I was so nervous about leaving our dogs for the first time but the staff put us at ease with regular updates. We loved the report card and photo on pick up. The facility is so clean and beautiful, our dogs loved their stay and paddock play. I highly recommend Kip and we can’t wait to use their services again.

Raluca Geros

I picked up Luna after 2.5 weeks. She looked vibrant, happy, and healthy. I loved the regular updates and images of her. I highly recommend Kip. The staff wa s amazing at handover and pick up.

Merry Frenila

We’ve never used a pet boarding service before, so we were a bit nervous about leaving our energetic but sweet Lab in the care of someone else. However, from the moment we made our initial enquiry to the moment we checked out, our experience at Kip Mornington was seamless. The staff were incredibly friendly, and their communication was top-notch. We received daily updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing that our Lab was not only well cared for, but also enjoying time with other dogs. It’s clear that Kip Mornington truly cares about the pets in their care. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be using their services again in the future! Highly recommended!

Alison Prata

Another great stay for Aggie which was a little longer than her last visit. I loved the daily photo and video updates, and I picked up a very tired but happy pup 6 days later. The bushwalks and paddock play are a fantastic option and she was matched well with other dogs of a similar energy level as our 2 year old lab.

Michele Burton

Loved that we received photo updates during the day. The first stay somewhere without her late brother was stressing to us, but obviously not for her. Thank you Kip Mornington. See you next time!

Lisa Retford

I was very nervous about putting my 5yo and 7mnth old into kennels as I have never used kennels before in the 20+years of owning dogs. The welcome was awesome and both dogs happily left me. The daily updates and videos and pics made my stay in hospital amazing. They had so much fun and looked so happy. 10 star if I could

Julie Smith

OMG..... Thanks KIP for taking such good care of our 2 Dogs while we were enjoying a mini break. We were so nervous going away as one of our dogz had badly injured his chest and had been put on pain killers, antibiotics and Anti-inflammatory meds and we really struggled to trust other people with giving him his medicines and some cuddles and love in our absence. But the staff at KIP in Pearcedale did all that and more. It was very reassuring and we could see just how happy he was there and the huge open graze was looking better each day in the photo pupdates. We cant thank your staff enough..... Luna and Duke loved their little holiday at your amazing facility and we wont hesitate to use you guys again in future. Keep up the great work. This is how kennels should be run. Regards, Julie and Gary

Breann Fallon

We were so pleased with the service and communication from Kip Mornington. We revived regular updates and our dog was so happy. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

John

Our boys have been there 2 times, and they loved it.

Andrew Doppel

We've used Kip for a few years now after finding our previous chosen kennel outdated. The options available are fantastic and our two German shepherds love the paddock play. Purpose built it has heating and air conditioning and piped music to calm the dogs if a thunder storm happens. They also email daily update videos of your dogs activities and let you know of any issues. Highly recommend these guys/girls.

Belinda Skeels

I always recommend Kip Mornington to my family and friends! the staff are so friendly and easy to communicate to. Our dog has been multiple times and always has a blast! The online booking system is so easy to use and the pricing is very affordable! They keep you updated with photo’s and videos of there stay which I love! Our dog always makes plenty of friends when she stays and it’s so nice to see how happy she looks in the photos coming through! They always give our dog a bath before getting picked up which I don’t expect but it’s just another add on that really shows the value for money! I could go on and on about how great I think the team are at Kip Mornington but I’ll just leave it with this, if you are looking for a boarding kennel that have an amazing team who really care about giving your dog a fun and safe stay away from home look no further than Kip Mornington!

Jenny Lord

My dogs have been going here for years & they have all enjoyed their stays. Staff are super friendly & lovely with the dogs. The fact that my dogs rush in on arrival says a lot about Kip Mornington.

Mars Limos

This is the best pet boarding kennel in town. Highly recommend their outstanding services and excellent quality of care for my beautiful dog. They are very easy to deal with. My girl looked really happy and was in good spirit when I picked her up after few days of holiday. Thank you team for your hard work and customer service.

Quinton Fredericks

Extremely happy with the service, daily photo updates, how accommodating they are with various requests - my dog loves going on his holidays.

Jo M

Kip Mornington is wonderful. Very caring staff. Love the daily photo and video updates and additional communication is excellent. Monty loves going there, highly recommended

Sarah

I can't say enough good things about these boarding kennels! They have looked after my dog, Matteo, on numerous occasions, and each time has been fantastic. The team (especially Adam!) are incredibly accommodating. The care and flexibility they have provided me especially with last-minute bookings so I can be with my terminally ill father has been incredible and has ment I have not needed to worry about Matteo as I know he is very happy here. Plus the daily photo or video updates are incredible and are helpful to know my boy is so happy. Matteo is always so excited to be there – sometimes I even wonder if he'd prefer to live there than with me! The care and attention they provide are top-notch, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Elle Neziri

Archie & Daisy love spending time at Kip Mornington. We love that they are able to socialise with other dogs under professional supervision. They always come back happy and relaxed.

Silva Mirovics

The dedicated dog lovers at Kip Mornington never disappoint. Our boy is collected from home, cared for while we go away, and returned home clean and happy. Duke has had a couple of short stays, and recently a 4 week stay. I received a daily update (video or photos). He suffers a lot of anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him for 4 weeks, but Kip Mornington managed his quirks without issue. Highly recommend Kip Mornington when you can't take your doggy with you.

Madeline Bradbury

This is the best boarding facility I have ever used and can’t recommend it strongly enough. The care the staff have shown my old greyhound is above and beyond. Highly recommend for all dogs but especially special cases such as anxious greyhounds, they are treated with such love and respect. Thanks for looking after Jim

We took a three-week holiday and were a bit stressed about the length of time and kennel experience. Yet, Andie and the entire Kip team operate at very high standards. All are extremely welcoming!! 🏆 It made the experience easier and my holidays more relaxed - knowing our dog was being looked after by this amazing team.💖 We added paddock play and bush walks - well worth it! The daily updates showed her happy, stimulated and increasing her stick collection The team is professional and very proactive. Our dog will be staying here every time we are on short or long holidays!

My dog loves it here and so do I. It was formerly called Stirling Lodge and now called Kip. Same staff, same excellent quality care. Would not take my dog anywhere else.

My dog looked like he was having a blast during his stay, I lowkey feel betrayed

Jenny Lord

My dogs have been going here for years & they have all enjoyed their stays. Staff are super friendly & lovely with the dogs. The fact that my dogs rush in on arrival says a lot about Kip Mornington.

Mars Limos

This is the best pet boarding kennel in town. Highly recommend their outstanding services and excellent quality of care for my beautiful dog. They are very easy to deal with. My girl looked really happy and was in good spirit when I picked her up after few days of holiday. Thank you team for your hard work and customer service.

Quinton Fredericks

Extremely happy with the service, daily photo updates, how accommodating they are with various requests - my dog loves going on his holidays.

Kip Mornington is wonderful. Very caring staff. Love the daily photo and video updates and additional communication is excellent. Monty loves going there, highly recommended

I can't say enough good things about these boarding kennels! They have looked after my dog, Matteo, on numerous occasions, and each time has been fantastic. The team (especially Adam!) are incredibly accommodating. The care and flexibility they have provided me especially with last-minute bookings so I can be with my terminally ill father has been incredible and has ment I have not needed to worry about Matteo as I know he is very happy here. Plus the daily photo or video updates are incredible and are helpful to know my boy is so happy. Matteo is always so excited to be there – sometimes I even wonder if he'd prefer to live there than with me! The care and attention they provide are top-notch, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Archie & Daisy love spending time at Kip Mornington. We love that they are able to socialise with other dogs under professional supervision. They always come back happy and relaxed.

The dedicated dog lovers at Kip Mornington never disappoint. Our boy is collected from home, cared for while we go away, and returned home clean and happy. Duke has had a couple of short stays, and recently a 4 week stay. I received a daily update (video or photos). He suffers a lot of anxiety, so we were nervous about leaving him for 4 weeks, but Kip Mornington managed his quirks without issue. Highly recommend Kip Mornington when you can't take your doggy with you.
