Has your dog been itching to try daycare?
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 $93!
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).
A daycare worth barking about!
From playtime to cozy naps, Kip provides a stimulating and nurturing environment, ensuring your dogs enjoy their day to the fullest.

Our dog Finn knows as soon as we get his collar on that it’s his day to go to Kip. He’s so excited all the way there and we can barely hold him back in reception as he just wants to play with his friends. We couldn’t be happier with his care and the photo updates throughout the day are a fantastic bonus.

My dog goes once a week and it's the highlight of her week! The attendants are wonderful and caring, they take photos and give me a verbal update when I pick her up. They also have special events e.g. last week "Pups and Prose". I love that I can go to work knowing my dog will be well looked after whilst having a blast.

Very friendly staff and always take good care of my dog. Masiy loves the staff and dog friends at the daycare and sometimes she doesn’t want to go home with me 🤦♀️🤭

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.
