Is your dog ready to join the daycare fun?
You need to attend a First Day Trial before coming more regularly
We want to ensure your pup gets started on the right paw when they join the Kip family. That’s why all dogs do a first-day trial to see whether the daycare environment suits them. On this first day trial, we encourage you to arrive before 9:00am to give your dog the best chance of success. We will give you an update throughout the day, and at pick-up, you will receive a report card and the team will discuss a recommended attendance plan. You will also need to be available for an earlier pick-up should our staff deem that daycare is not suitable for your dog.
Grab a 3-Day Intro Pack for only $26/day (1 month expiry) - saving $132!
To attend daycare your dog will need to be vaccinated (to C5 or above) and desexed if over 12 months. Dogs can attend their First Day Trial 10 days after their second vaccination (C5 or equivalent).

That’s right, you read correctly! We are now offering door-to-door transport, so for a small charge, you can enjoy the benefits of daycare without having to even leave your home! We pick up your dog between 6-9am and drop them back between 3-6pm.

Lovely place, great staff, happy puppy after his first day care day there.
We've sent our dog Derek to Kip Alexandria on days when there's no one at home for extended hours. He loves it! He tries to bash the door down to get inside when we drop him off, he comes home tired from playing all day, he adores the staff there who are absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't trust them more with our pup. Would highly recommend Kip Alexandria!
Fantastic team. I took my two ex shelter dogs to Kip Alexandria for their first day care experience and the team were so supportive and caring and my girls had an amazing time
The girls threw my son the best doggy birthday pawty here and it was clear he had a blast! Love the updates they sent me on the day and how much they clearly love him. He loves his visits to daycare and always runs through the door
We send our Gus here and he loves it. The staff are lovely and you can tell they all love the dogs. They send daily updates and also keep their Instagram really up-to-date so that you can see what your dog gets up to.
We are so Pleased to have found Kip Alexandria our whippet pup loves it and is so happy to see the lovely staff who work there and all her furry friends. Highly recommend !
Hands down the best dog daycare. The dogs are so well cared for and have a great structure to their day with activities, fun, rest breaks, and more fun. My dog pulls me through the door when we arrive, and comes home happily exhausted. The staff are brilliant and you can tell the dogs are stoked to be there
We love Kip Alexandria!! Our little whippet has been going since she was fully vaccinated and it’s been the best way to socialise her… and teach her a few things. She’s excited to go in and see her friends, and even better to meet them in the park in the weekends. The team is very attentive and get to know each dog in their care, give you a run down on their day and an by challenges, and provide fun updates via email and Instagram. It’s a lovely community 🥰
Experienced Staff, Safe Space, Structured Routine, and Fun Activities
is what makes Kip doggy daycare different!
Not every doggy daycare is built equal! At Kip, our daycare model is built off decades of doggy daycare learnings and experience. We put your dog first and ensure both you and your pooch are able to get the most out of our enriching daycare environment.
After the First Day Trial, your dog will reap the benefits of the structured daily routines and our focus on developing fundamental skills and manners (recall, gate manners, group sits) that makes Kip unique. To top things off, you’ll receive regular photo and video updates of your dog’s daycare experience, receive honest feedback and see the benefits daycare provides.

FAQs
Our requirements for dog daycare is as follows:
Vaccination Requirement: Your pet must be vaccinated, and the vaccination must be valid for the entire duration of your pet's stay.
- Puppies may attend daycare 10 days after their second puppy vaccine as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
- Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 (or equivalent) vaccination.
10-Day Rule: If your pet's previous vaccination had lapsed by more than 14 days, the new vaccine must be administered at least 10 days before the check-in date.
Vaccination Documentation: You are required to provide us with evidence of your pet's current (and immediate prior vaccination if checking in with 10 days of their most recent vaccination)
De-sexing Policy: Dogs must be de-sexed by 12 months
A Kip day starts bright and early at 7am, giving you plenty of time to drop off your furry friend on the way to work. Your dog’s day will be divided into two play sessions, morning and afternoon, and is broken up with quiet time in between to relax and recharge. This balance ensures that every dog has a great time without being overwhelmed and goes home looking forward to their next visit.
Groups are generally based on size, personality and play style so that your pup can enjoy their time with their BFFs (best furry friends!). Our animal handlers will also switch around groups as needed so that your dog gets the best out of every stay.
Safety is our number one priority. All dogs in our care are fully vaccinated and have passed their trial day before joining. Our floors are also non-slip and water-resistant, and our fences dig-proof.
The late cancellation charge allows us to reallocate your reservation to another pup if you cannot attend your session. This late cancellation/no-show charge applies to customers who fail to cancel a daycare visit by 5pm the day prior to the reservation.
Absolutely! Our transport service will pick up your dog bright and early between 6-9am and drop them off between 3-6pm. Please note that someone needs to be home to facilitate the transport. Door-to-door transport is currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Areas serviced: Darlinghurst, Darling Point, Elizabeth Bay, Paddington, Potts Point, Rushcutters Bay, Surry Hills, and surrounding suburbs! Contact us at alexandria@kip.com.au for more details.
