Dog Daycare

Two happy dogs at Dog Daycare Blackburn

Are you busy working long hours, or just too tired to take your dog for a walk around Blackburn Lake? Give them ample stimulation and enrichment at Kip Blackburn doggy daycare that’s sure to leave their tails wagging!

Mon-Fri: 7:00am-6:30pm. We are closed on all public holidays.

You don’t just have to live with bad behaviour! A visit to doggy daycare means they’ll get to learn and reinforce basic training and good habits. Our experienced handlers will help them with the basic skills to be a well-mannered dog, no matter what their age.

As pet parents ourselves we know leaving your pup can be daunting so we deliver regular photo and/or video updates (aka pup-dates) right to your phone. You can access these through an easy-to-use customer portal!

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 $1!

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).

I have just commenced taking my two Frenchies to Kip Blackburn and they are settling in The employees are very welcoming to our pets The only thing I personally would have liked to see is where my dogs were actually going to be playing sleeping etc as I just dropped them off at the reception and they get taken in through the doors. Overall we are happy with Kip and our pups are there again today thank you

Meti Mazis Designs

You have a wonderful and safe place for our dogs to play. I know my pupper goes crazy when she sees where we are. She cannot wait for a rough and tumble with her doggie friends. Your staff are the best, they have been very kind and accommodating especially during a time when im going through a serious illness. I highly recommend Kip Blackburn and my pupper can never have too many friends 🧡

My dog has been a part of this lovely family for two and half years. He absolutely loves Kip and can’t get in the door fast enough. The staff are wonderful people and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

kate ross-stubbs

The staff are wonderful !! You can tell they really love dogs and working at KIP Blackburn from the moment you walk in ! My dog.. Boots the Akita and I are always greeted warmly and never rushed at drop off . Same with pick up and always time to share with me how his experience was on the day . (they also do an excellent brush out of his coat when requested) I also love the added care of sending thru photos of him socializing with the other dogs ! Always look forward to seeing those ! Highly Recommend Kip Blackburn !!!

Simon Keys

Great place with really friendly staff. Our dog always comes home happy and exhausted.

I have taken three dogs to Kip Blackburn for daycare over the past ten years. The staff love dogs, are always welcoming and know the individual personalities of each of the dogs. My current two come home exhausted. There are different activities for enrichment each day. They are keen to help celebrate birthdays. My boy recently turned 8 and I brought a cake along with him on his birthday and the staff made him feel special, popping a festive hat on his head, creating a lovely video of the party as the cake was shared out with the other dogs.

Been taking my Kelpie X here for the last 4 years. Everyone that works here are absolutely wonderful! They're always kind, down for a chat and somehow remembers every single dogs name & their owners. My dog comes back smiling, happy and #kipooped every time. There's also always updates on my dog through their website every time we visit.

Jon Kok

These folks are awesome and really help our little guys meet new friends. They take great care of them, and always give pupdates.

Amy and the team are amazing to deal with, approachable, user friendly more importantly our boy Marley is in good professional hands. My wife and I cannot recommend this day dogcare service enough. I do not usually post reviews but on this occasion made an exception. Keep up the good work, it is worth the effort. Well done team! Sam and Liz M

My dog loves it here, he is well cared for and loves all the girls. He comes home satisfied and exhausted. I get great feedback. Keep up the great work

My dog had a good first day and the people were absolutely lovely. He went in shaky and scared but came out with a smile on his face.

Erin Dowling

This place is amazing not only for us but most importantly, our young Border Collie. Cooper loves coming here and is well taken care of, gets his fill of socialising and comes home all tuckered out after a long and happy day. The staff are so friendly, supportive and provide honest feedback so we know we’re leaving him in good hands. Thank you!

Thor has been attending day care at Kip for the last 4 years. Staff are friendly and the best part is Thor is knackered when he gets home after a full day of playing with the other dogs.

Jan Douglas

staff were very welcoming to me and my doggie. She was gently taken in to meet the other doggies. Love the report card and photos sent to me . I felt very confident leaving my girl here.

Cat Wright

Love this place for my super beany baby. They manage my high energy lab beautifully and Lola looks forward to seeing them and all of her friends each week.

Susan Goslin

My Dog has been going to kip in Blackburn since she was a pup. She can't wait to get out of the car as she is so excited for a play date. The staff have all been amazing, friendly and caring. I am very happy to recommend Kip.

Jo McGrath

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.

Jasmine Ong

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 🤦‍♀️🤭

Pattie S

Great team. Maxie always comes home happy and tired! Highly recommend.

Carissa Hurley

I wouldn't hesitate to send your dog here - our dog Lola has been attending for months now and she absolutely loves it! Receiving the photo's and videos of her there makes it a great experience for us too, they put your pet in with animals that suit yours so you know they will be having the time of their life whilst there. We love Kip Dog Daycare!!

Graham Coonerty

Absolute 5 stars for the team at KIP Blackburn. They welcomed and looked after my puppy Billy with the utmost care, from Billy's first day you can see how much fun he had and made new mates! I know that he is looking forward to his next day with such a great team and the photo updates are brilliant! Thank you so much.

Deb Mc

Five stars for my pup’s experience at doggy day care! From the moment I dropped off my pup, I knew she was in good hands. The staff's genuine love for dogs was evident, and my pup received top-notch care and attention throughout the morning. The facilities were clean, spacious, and equipped with everything a dog could dream of. Most importantly, my pup came home happy, tired, and ready for a good snooze after being filled with playtime and socialisation. I’m incredibly grateful for the wonderful care provided by the team and I highly recommend KIP Doggy Daycare to any pet parent seeking a safe and fun environment for their beloved canine companion

Lindsey Bray

Lili had a lovely first stay - she was nice and relaxed when she came home - will be back again.

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 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.

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.
