Absolutely beautiful business, the staff are so friendly and you provide such a beautiful service on the grooming. My little persian is so soft and silky now ❤️
This is the second time Maya has stayed with Kip Kennel Virginia, she was well looked after, we received daily photos, she was all bathed and clean and ready to be picked up, though she did have a little whimper as we left, think she enjoyed it too much. Staff are very caring and I got the impression they love their job and the animals there care for. Thankyou
The staff obviously love the animals in their care and we absolutely loved the photo updates.
Communication was amazing with lots of photos while our 2 pups were visiting. Both boys came home beautifully groomed and super happy
Confident care with very friendly staff. Have cared for our pets for several years and we wouldn't send them anywhere else.
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.
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.
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 😊🥰
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.
Just Amazing. Don't even bother looking elsewhere. Daily updates, very friendly staff, they truly display love and affection to your furry family member while they are holidaying there
Fantastic service with great staff
Our two dogs Banjo and Marli have told us that they have enjoyed their stays at Kip. We have appreciated the daily photos whilst away the last 4 times.

Kip north Adelaide. Amazing. I had two 5 month old brother and sister puppies going for a week. I asked if they could have playtime together and the lady's were happy to do so. They send daily photo uploads which made myself and my family so happy. Absolutely amazing place felt very comfortable leaving my puppies there.
Josh stayed in KIP for almost 3 weeks. Almost every day we received photos of him with the company of other dogs which was just wonderful. The staff in KIP ADL North is excellent, will do it again!
I have just had the most amazing experience at Kip in virginia. I am the owner of a very needy, very sooky 63 kilo mastiff named Knight that believes he is the size of a pomeranian. I am your typical helicopter parent and have never had more than 2 nights away from him and the thought of going on holiday for 2 weeks was stressing me out. I had contacted Kip via the online chat service to ask a few questions. The lady i spoke to was so accommodating, she spent time explaining what i could do to make his stay as easy and stress free as possible, she also let me know about the drop off and pick up service (Which was a godsend). When it came to the day of pick up they called me before they left to make sure i was ready and hand over was perfect, nice and quick so i didnt get too emotional😉. Once again the staff member that picked him up had the best energy, she reassured me that even though Knight was starting to whine and howl he would be fine and she had heard worse 😅, it was no problem for her. I chose to leave him in his own little villa. He had doggy tv, aircon and an hour of one on one time with treats daily which was so important because he isnt used to being alone. I recieved multiple photo updates daily which made it so much easier for me. They even sent some videos of his play time which was awesome. Of course my flight was delayed when i came home but they had no problems moving their schedule and bringing him back a little later than planned. Drop off was absolutely amazing, the staff member brought him right upto my door and he filled me in on all the fun they had together. I could not of enjoyed my holiday without the Amazing Team at Kip. I now have an option thats stress free and makes leaving Knight that little bit easier when i need to go away. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!! you will definitely be seeing Knight (aka Boomba) in the future and i will recommending this facility to everyone i know 🥰🥰😍
Always great service and a very happy environment for your fur baby
Always feel comfortable leaving our boy here, and was worried with the change of hands but I’m super happy with the outcome!! Professional, clear dog lovers, affordable & most importantly I get a happy boy at the end of the stay. It’s pretty clear to me when he’s had a good experience or not & he always comes from here happy as can be. Highly recommend Kip.
Always happy to leave Ollie here. Ollie doesn't even say goodbye when we leave....great place.
My furbabies Lenny and Narla had their own vacation. They were in the best hands with Kip Adelaide North. I was worried they would fret or come home sulky. They had lots of love, treats and a bath. Thankyou, the kids hope to see you again soon.
Excellent service. Lovely carers. My dogs were happy and looked well cared for!
always my best boarding area
This place is the real deal!. honestly I was so scared at first as our staffy Bruce can be very dog aggressive at times and to top of off he is recovering from his ACL surgery, we were met with an absolute 10/10 service, daily pictures on the portal which we were able to see whilst we were on holiday. Confident and friendly staff at both pick up and drop off time. Very easy to book and communicate. These guys are doing it right! 10/10
Our very energetic girl had a great time at Kip North this week - lots of new friends to play with, both four legged and two legged. Thanks for taking such good care of her
We have kenneled our cat with Kip in the past. We knew that he would be well cared for. We know that Kip will care for our cat very well whilst we are away.
The dog's were looked after so Perfectly. Absolutely wonderful doggy care

I am your typical helicopter parent and have never had more than 2 nights away from him and the thought of going on holiday for 2 weeks was stressing me out. I had contacted Kip via the online chat service to ask a few questions. The lady i spoke to was so accommodating, she spent time explaining what i could do to make his stay as easy and stress free as possible, she also let me know about the drop off and pick up service (Which was a godsend). When it came to the day of pick up they called me before they left to make sure i was ready and hand over was perfect, nice and quick so i didnt get too emotional😉. Once again the staff member that picked him up had the best energy, she reassured me that even though Knight was starting to whine and howl he would be fine and she had heard worse 😅, it was no problem for her. I chose to leave him in his own little villa. He had doggy tv, aircon and an hour of one on one time with treats daily which was so important because he isnt used to being alone. I recieved multiple photo updates daily which made it so much easier for me. They even sent some videos of his play time which was awesome. Of course my flight was delayed when i came home but they had no problems moving their schedule and bringing him back a little later than planned. Drop off was absolutely amazing, the staff member brought him right upto my door and he filled me in on all the fun they had together. I could not of enjoyed my holiday without the Amazing Team at Kip. I now have an option thats stress free and makes leaving Knight that little bit easier when i need to go away. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!! you will definitely be seeing Knight (aka Boomba) in the future and i will recommending this facility to everyone i know 🥰🥰😍
Always great service and a very happy environment for your fur baby
Always feel comfortable leaving our boy here, and was worried with the change of hands but I’m super happy with the outcome!! Professional, clear dog lovers, affordable & most importantly I get a happy boy at the end of the stay. It’s pretty clear to me when he’s had a good experience or not & he always comes from here happy as can be. Highly recommend Kip.
Always happy to leave Ollie here. Ollie doesn't even say goodbye when we leave....great place.
My furbabies Lenny and Narla had their own vacation. They were in the best hands with Kip Adelaide North. I was worried they would fret or come home sulky. They had lots of love, treats and a bath. Thankyou, the kids hope to see you again soon.
Excellent service. Lovely carers. My dogs were happy and looked well cared for!
always my best boarding area
This place is the real deal!. honestly I was so scared at first as our staffy Bruce can be very dog aggressive at times and to top of off he is recovering from his ACL surgery, we were met with an absolute 10/10 service, daily pictures on the portal which we were able to see whilst we were on holiday. Confident and friendly staff at both pick up and drop off time. Very easy to book and communicate. These guys are doing it right! 10/10
Our very energetic girl had a great time at Kip North this week - lots of new friends to play with, both four legged and two legged. Thanks for taking such good care of her
We have kenneled our cat with Kip in the past. We knew that he would be well cared for. We know that Kip will care for our cat very well whilst we are away.
The dog's were looked after so Perfectly. Absolutely wonderful doggy care
