Melissa Moyle-Ross

The staff obviously love the animals in their care and we absolutely loved the photo updates.

Kylie Caskey

Communication was amazing with lots of photos while our 2 pups were visiting. Both boys came home beautifully groomed and super happy

Susanna Young

Confident care with very friendly staff. Have cared for our pets for several years and we wouldn't send them anywhere else.

Judy McDonnell

Great place to leave your pet. Kennels always clean and staff friendly. I use the Villa Kennels which are expensive but my dog has special needs.

Awaken

Great staff, reasonably priced and our dog really enjoys being there. They understand and can cater to dogs that play well with others and some dogs that do not.

Shell Skibeck

We had two cats and two dogs stay and they were all so well taken care of :) I highly recommend Kip.. all the staff are amazing and they really did a wonderful job 🩷 thanks so much to all staff for taking such good care of our fur babies , will definitely bring them back when we go on future holidays 😊🥰

Brad Hoey

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 😊

Janelle Baker

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 ❤️

  • Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 (or equivalent) vaccination.
