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.

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.

Rebekah O'Reilly

Great service! Henry and Layla looked so happy in the daily pupdate photos and videos. A great way to keep fur mums and dads at ease. Staff were very knowledgeable and caring. We will be back.

Lorraine Dempsey

Love the kindness & warmth you offer. Nelson I’m sure enjoys his time spent with you however, I do think it’s rather rich to charge for the day when the are returned before 10am by transport charge either the day or the transport would be fairer

Bree Thompson

My dog Bailey gets so excited in the car when she realizes she is going to Kip Mornington! She can't get in the door fast enough because she knows she will have so much fun, meet new doggo friends, get lots of attention, cuddles and care. The staff are amazing and I know she is looked after every time she stays. I love the regular daily updates and photos that ease my mind. I highly recommend Kip Mornington!

Geoffrey Lowry

Although my dog would prefer to stay home, she always comes back looking good and in great condition. Daily photos are posted on their website that show the caring attitude of the personal. I would not want to leave my dog at any other boarding facility.

Tessa Bottomley

I just picked my dog up from KIP and couldn’t be happier. I’ve been to another local kennel that is a fair bit cheaper and was concerned with the price of KIP but was so worth it!!!!!! Getting the daily updates was absolutely incredible and my dog came home so happy and smelling amazing. Will be returning for sure!!! Couldn’t recommend it more!! Worth every cent!!!

Paul Frost

This is the second time we have had our two dogs stay with Kip Mornington and we couldnt be happier with the service and treatment of our beloved furry freinds. The staff genuinely love animals and it shows in their interactions with them. The photo and video updates sent daily are a great comfort and always show the dogs to be healthy, happy and active. They even came back without bad breath! I still cant figure out how they acheived that... Thank you to the staff for making it easier to go away without any concerns for our precious family members.

Cheryl Gebhart

I was quite concerned putting Loki into a kennel for the first time. Loki had a rough start in life, l didn't want him to feel l had abandoned him! That definitely wasn't the case, to see my daily video updates and his new friends was amazing. I was so happy for him and me. I won't have the same uncertainty when he goes back to Kip Pearcedale, he loved it and l know he was well looked after. Thank you again.

It was the first time we have left our Weimaraner puppy at a kennel. He is 10 months old, large,goofy and very friendly. It proved to be the best decision we have made. Not only was Alfie well looked after, he made lots of friends. I particularly liked how the staff matched Alfie with other dogs that suited his temperament. The photos and videos we received were fabulous and only reconfirmed that he was happy and having fun. Alfie was a visitor at KIp for 23 days andhe would happily stay there again. Many thanks to all the staff.

It was the first time we have left our Weimaraner puppy at a kennel. He is 10 months old, large,goofy and very friendly. It proved to be the best decision we have made. Not only was Alfie well looked after, he made lots of friends. I particularly liked how the staff matched Alfie with other dogs that suited his temperament. The photos and videos we received were fabulous and only reconfirmed that he was happy and having fun. Alfie was a visitor at KIp for 23 days andhe would happily stay there again. Many thanks to all the staff.

Our 10 month old Staffy Ted had his first 2 week stay at Kip. We highly recommend. The daily photos and videos of Teds play time gave us confidence that he was safe and enjoying his stay.

Absolutely wonderful. They looked after my kelpie x puppy for the day & I was very unwell with a medical emergency. They sent me photo updates & found a friendly, patient & overall great match for my pup to play with which was a delight to see & so comforting when I was so unwell. My pup slept well after returning home & hasn't stopped smiling. Thank you so much & for your friendly down to earth customer service & fur baby expertise.

Absolutely amazing. We got daily updates, Photos and videos. Petal was cared for so well. When we picked her up from Kip she was happy confident and full of energy. Thanks Kip.

Banjo always has a wonderful time here having boarded 4 times now. Great and friendly service, I always feel well assured that he is being cared for with love and kindness. Absolutely love getting the daily check ins through the easy to use online portal and I love seeing what he’s getting up to while we are away. Staff go above and beyond even throwing him a birthday celebration twice when we have had to board him over his birthday week. Highly recommend and will be boarding with Kip for many years to come. Photos don’t lie he’s always got the biggest silly face on when he’s there.

We were a bit nervous being our first time leaving Scout at boarding kennel, but the daily photos and videos certainly put our minds at ease. It was such a joy to see Scout having so much fun playing with the other dogs. The staff are obviously very passionate about dogs. Highly recommend Kip Mornington. Scout will definitely be back 🐾🐾

Norman had a great stay for the 3 weeks. He was happy and came home with a glistening coat. We used the pick up and drop off service which all worked brilliantly. He will be back! Thanks to everyone.

We leave Zeke with you because you care and are simply the very best. Trust is earned of which you truly have earned so many times. Especially when Zeke wasn't well when he arrived and you gave him his medication. 🙏🙏💙👌🍻

We just had our first experience using dog boarding and was very nervous… our golden Retreiver loved it and we were happy because every day they sent us updates and photos.

Tammy Apoyan

Our first time using a kennel for our beautiful golden retrievers, and we couldn’t be happier! Kip staff were so friendly when touring us around, made us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in their caring hands! We had daily updates and the dogs looked beyond happy! Thank you SO much and the boys look forward to coming back for another “holiday” away from home.
