Thank you to each and every one of the lovely caring staff members who took such good care of Vincent when we were away recently ❤️ We looked forward to receiving his photos every day ☺️ 5 ⭐️ out of ⭐️ We will definitely be using Kip Adelaide Hills when we go away again!

Our dog stayed for 4 nights. She gets very nervous and aggressive in new situations. Staff had a long chat with us to ensure she was comfortable for her stay. Staff worked so well with her and she came out so happy and comfortable around the staff looking after her. We have been to numerous boardings in the Adelaide hills area and nothing beats this one. Worth the small extra price for the extra care.

Highly recommend! I have 2 English Staffys (nearing 5 years old)(6 months old). Left a DV relationship and was desperately needing my girls looked after while I got somewhere safe and was able to go back to the old house and pack& move the rest of my belongings. I have never left Tillie with anyone but my parents and has never been separated from Miley. They both have extreme separation anxiety, Miley has never been alone; she went from living with her Mum, Auntie (Tillie's daughters) and siblings to living with us (her biological grandmother). We did a trial separation, my partner took Tillie for a drive and Miley howled and cried the entire time, so sending them to a doggy resort was a very stressful thought at first for me, it's something I'd never done. I was super anxious, a kennel wasn't an option as they are dull & depressing, don't feel welcoming etc. Dropping them off I wwas given peace of mind and relieved, such a beautiful setting and just so welcoming. I called to check on them and they let me speak to my dogs (Yes, I am that person, but you probably are too). Their portal is fantastic, I was so much more at ease seeing them happy, having daily updates, playing, smiling and making new friends, especially Miley as she's going to be a big girl. Miley hasn't been socialised much, doesn't quite know her own strength, very high energy and a bit rough; they found the perfect play mate for her so Tillie could rest, have a break and hang out with dogs who aren't as high energy or rough. Tillie is very submissive and scared of big dogs. My girls were so happy and at home there. The staff are fantastic, zero complaints at the moment, highly doubt that any issues will arise. Ryan dropped them home today and I could see how much they had bonded with him. Tillie is scared of most men as she always heard mummy being yelled at, she loves and trusts Ryan, another massive relief. They have been asleep since they got home, absolutely worn out from making so many new friends and so much play time! Honestly, all the staff were friendly, easy to deal with, professional, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. They truly love and care about their guests! My girls love their new "kip family". I will definitely be sending them back when we go away. Worth every cent knowing they were were safe, happy and well cared for. They even returned home bathed and smelling lovely. Every little detail, quirk or need was accounted for, no request was too big, they accommodated all their needs and mine, every question was answered and every staff member I saw was smilimg, top notch customer service too. Brilliant holiday for my babies, they had blast. Thank you to everyone there for welcoming my babies into your community.

Excellent attentive service. I have a very social dog and he is always matched with very compatible dogs for playtime. So lovely to receive daily photos of my boy and his new besties. My dog will often lose weight in a stressful kennel environment but this has not happened with Kip, leading me to believe he feels as calm and content there as he can while not being at home. I have used a lot of kennel facilities and Kip is the only one I know I can trust implicitly.
