Bobbie, our choc lab, has been going to Kip since she was a puppy and absolutely loves it! Kip has been a blessing in so many ways for Bobbie’s development — socially, emotionally, and physically. She has a blast playing with her friends, and we love the photos and videos they send during the day. She always comes home happy and tired after a big day. Thanks so much!
I've started taking my 6 month old toy cavoodle to Kips for the past month and I couldn't be happier as a result. Started off a timid shy puppy has now thanks to the team @ Kips gained so much confidence and social skills its amazing. The team take such good care of your pooch and even send you videos. We will continue to come to Kips as my dog loves it. 100% Recommend.
This is my baby boy Henry's favourite place in the whole world! Home away from home!He can't wait to get in there and play with his friends! Thank you for all the staff that looks after him ❤️
My two dogs recently stayed at KIP Moorabbin for a week. I received daily updates from KIP with photos and videos showing what my dogs were up to. I could tell from their extremely wagging tails that they were very happy and comfortable with their temporary home. When collecting my dogs, they were freshly bathed and the staff even washed their blankets I had supplied. I recommend KIP Moorabbin!
Really love this place, the staff are friendly and take great care of my fur baby.
I started bringing little Flossy a few months ago to get her out of her shell and build her confidence. KIP bayside are superstars!!!! They have gone above and beyond to accommodate my anxious and very nervous pup. She has new friends and loves greeting every dog we walk past now. The dog park has even become her favourite place instead of her greatest fear. Can’t recommend KIP enough :)
Mr. Wilde normally travels with us, but once in a while, the need for boarding arises. As we had relocated to Victoria from the Sunshine Coast, I hadn’t had to board him in melb before. Fortunately I found Kip! Being nervous pawrents, the daily vids and pics were very reassuring whilst we were away. On pickup, Mr. Wilde was very tired, but clearly very fond of Danny and vice versa. It is reassuring to know that our doggie can be left and well looked after! The first pic is when he was told he was going to boarding, the second is when he was living the high life at Kip! Thanks
Our dog came home happy and healthy after their stay. We were happy with the friendliness of the staff, they clearly love dogs and are good with people too.
Staff are friendly, the place looks very clean. My dog seems to enjoy her time there.
Bosco loves KIP and they love him!
Absolutely amazing people. Very polite. My dog had a gr8 day. Very well managed business at Very affordable prices. Highly recommendated. Very pleased.
Absolutely Amazing My Honey absolutely LOVES coming to doggy day care!! We receive updated throughout the day and she cones home solo happy and exhausted!!!
Jack loves his daycare day and I love getting the updates during the day. He comes home exhausted and that makes our cat happy! Addit: I forgot to mention that Jack is usually an anxious dog. He does not like going for walks down the street, or meeting new people. When he is at daycare - he is like another dog! The videos they send of him having such fun with his best friend there Louie make our hearts swell. He just loves it there!
Fia absolutely LOVES daycare at Kip. We were so nervous for her to start socialising after we adopted her but the team at Kip were so understanding and supportive. They called with extra updates on her first day to put my mind at ease and take such good care of Fia every time she visits!! Can not recommend enough 🤩

I recently boarded my dog, Lulu, at KIP Bayside for four nights, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The team was incredibly welcoming and made sure Lulu was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. I loved receiving her adorable report card, which highlighted her activities, and the famous "Lulu lean" showed just how much love she felt from the staff. KIP Bayside truly provides a caring environment for pets, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their furry friends. Thank you, KIP Bayside, for taking such great care of Lulu! We’ll definitely be back! 🐾❤️
Excellent staff and amenities, would get 5 stars if they had a form of outdoor activity or walk for the dogs
Literally the best place, kindest staff, and most understanding team ever.
Amazing my puppy has the time of her life and comes home Exhausted!! She doesn’t want to come home she LOVES IT SOOO MUCH!! I get updates through the day , they separate her so she can rest when tired.. much better than sone otherwise places I highly recommend !!!!
Kip has been consistently amazing and a life saver for us over the past few years. Our boy Rufus is a high energy goldy, the staff at Kip are soo attentive, loving and patient with him. He is always so thrilled to go whether it be for doggy daycare days or boarding weekends. Rufus has always come back happy and very tired (which we soo appreciate). Couldn't thank the staff enough for looking after our goofball with such care.
Highly recommend both doggy daycare & kennel. Kip team went above and beyond, our doggos didn’t want to leave. Felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with KIp with daily updates and photos. Will be a returning customer knowing our dogs will be looked after. Thanks Natalie
The staff was friendly and took great care of Ellie. The facility was clean, spacious, and perfect for her. I loved getting updates with photos and videos while I was away. Ellie came home happy and healthy, and I could tell she had a great time. I’ll definitely be bringing her back!
Had our baby board with them over the Christmas break. Had regular updates everyday and he loved every minute of it. Highly recommend Kip boarding plus daycare.
Danny and the team are absolutely incredible! Our 12 year old Albert had the best care and love possible. We had a stress free holiday overseas. They sent us daily photos, videos and updates! Would highly recommend Kip Bayside!!
Fantastic daycare facility, staff are amazing and my puppy Molly loves it so much. It was her 3rd birthday this week and they dressed her up in party wear and she was indulged in cuddles and love by everyone 🐶🐾💕
A tired but happy dog came home to us after her first boarding experience. Staff helped me chose a boarding location (after our nearest was booked out) and found us one with a daycare, so our pup had other dogs to play with. A taxi service is offered as an optional extra to purchase, which was great, so we didn’t have to add to our driving and could just drop off and pick up at our local daycare. My follow up email questions after our dog returned home were responded to immediately and in detail, despite it being a public holiday. Well done Kip!
My boy happy always have a good time at the center. I sent him to daycare at least 2 to 3 times a week. Burn his energy and he could make friends here. The great photos taken by staffs there and his smile made my day. and i am very satisfied of this service. It is a good area for the doggy Who want more social and solve the separate anxiety issue.
The staffs in Kip are very good and patient!! My dog loves it so much! Highly recommended!
There's too many dogs at this centre now making it hard to get personalized feedback especially paying $62 for the dog to be put in a large playpen with so many other dogs He also comes home smelly sometimes For the price, would be nice to have dog updates, personalized behavior training etc

My boy happy always have a good time at the center. I sent him to daycare at least 2 to 3 times a week. Burn his energy and he could make friends here. The great photos taken by staffs there and his smile made my day. and i am very satisfied of this service. It is a good area for the doggy Who want more social and solve the separate anxiety issue.
The staffs in Kip are very good and patient!! My dog loves it so much! Highly recommended!
There's too many dogs at this centre now making it hard to get personalized feedback especially paying $62 for the dog to be put in a large playpen with so many other dogs He also comes home smelly sometimes For the price, would be nice to have dog updates, personalized behavior training etc
What we do
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 $117!
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).

Our vaccination policy for pet boarding 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 board 10 days after their final puppy vaccines as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
- Kittens may board 10 days after their final kitten vaccines as long as they are F3 or equivalent.

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)
Dogs must also be desexed by 12 months to attend doggy daycare.
Please note that we don't take dogs that are in heat. If your dog comes into heat during their visit, you or an emergency contact will need to pick them up.
A Kip day starts bright and early at 7:00am, 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.
Your dog will come out of their room first thing for a morning play session, then return to their room for some delicious brekkie. After breakfast, they’ll rejoin the daycare group for more socialisation and enrichment. As the day comes to a close, it’s time for dinner in their room, and once they’re all fed and tired, your dog can kick back and relax in their comfy bed, ready for a kip.
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 visit.
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. All boarding rooms are also secured to ensure that your dog will stay exactly where they should be.
The late cancellation charge allows us to reallocate your reservation to another pup if you are unable to 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! For an extra $6/pet/day, we can administer medication to your pets. Please provide all medication in a marked vet bag and provide enough medication for the entire duration of their stay.
Absolutely! Simply contact us at bayside@kip.com.au so our team can organise the best time for you to tour the premises.
