When we picked up Lukey he was so happy and excited to see us. He must have had so much fun that he slept for the next 250 km home 😄 see you next week for another visit. Thank you 😊

First time putting our 3 Staffies into kips.. I was very nervous about it. From the first visit I felt at ease. Having a tour and chat with Mackayla who explained everything and was understanding of how our dogs are. When booking them in with Skye I felt more at ease, helpful, understanding, caring and empathy was outstanding. Explaining to Skye about our dogs she was so understanding. Drop off day was hard for me but I was so surprised at how they went. Skye was so amazing. Putting them into the kennel they all seemed so happy. Skye kept us updates with emails and pictures, they all looked soooo happy. We were sooo happy that they took to the amazing team, letting them pat feed and going for a run and back into kennels.. all 3 dogs are very nervous dogs but as the days went on their nervousness started to ease with the lovely staff. We don’t know how to thank the amazing staff for what they did with our dogs..the outstanding care our dogs were given we will definitely be back.. thank you all for taking such good care of our babies ❤️

I popped my Benson (very energetic Golden Retriever cross Irish Setter puppy) in for a couple of nights. I was so very nervous as I hadn’t ever left him before and didn’t know how he’d handle being away from home. From the photos and report card we received, he had an excellent time. He came home EXHAUSTED from all the running and playing. The lovely staff put my mind at ease and made me feel very comfortable. Benson and I very much appreciate the care and love he got whilst we were away!

Incredible staff who are kind and happy to help with questions, concerns and even when our schedule is delayed while using their transport service. We’ve put our two anxious medium/large size boys in boarding here more times than I count on both hands, which is not ideal because I love them, but we don’t have the family support and have to travel for work and medical reasons bi-monthly. The boys always come back with a normal temperament, normal weight and it is as if we never left. KIP are always able to work around our border collie’s tendency to get defensive in new environments or with larger intimidating dogs, they clearly think about each clients dogs’ needs and want the best for both dogs and their owners. Thank you so much for the love you pour into Adelaide North KIP.
