Clare O'Kane

Love KIP Narangba- we have used them 3 times and they have never let us down - Our dogs love it here and are so happy to go.

Yvonne Simpson

Thanks so much, think it was a good first time experience for both dog and owner. We appreciated the photos and videos as it showed us doggo was coping and enjoying her plays and swims. On collection she seemed relaxed and happy.

Jane Le Busque

We could not be any happier about the stay our two cats had at Kip Brisbane. Each day we received photos and an account of how they were doing, this was really important to us, being able to see that they were alright. We would not hesitate to recommend Kip Brisbane for cat boarding, and this will now be our regular cattery when we need it. The place is very clean and well run by great staff.

Kelsi Carroll

THANK YOU so much the team at Kip Brisbane for looking after our girls. They are true pet lovers, and go above and beyond to make your animals feel safe and cared for! They have outstanding communication, and we love the photo updates! We have tried a different cattery in the area, and the experience was terrible! At Kip, it truly feels like your animals are staying with family. Even through the Cyclone, we were keep updated and I knew our girls where in safe hands! Thanks so much team!

Melology

Genuinely cared about our girl.

Mike O'Keeffe

It was tough leaving our boy for another extended stay (3 weeks) but again we were updated daily with photos/video of him trotting about the yard with other dogs and sometimes alone when it was quiet but always with his tail up. I like that he has his own separate grassy run with neighbouring dogs, so plenty of stimulation, or he can chill inside his enclosure. He (again) settled back home content. Great, easy-going staff, very approachable. We'll be back.

Alana McLean

My dog has stayed at Kip a few times over the past year for short stays and long stays. Every staff member has been very nice and the check in/check out process is usually quick and easy. My dog is not social with other dogs so they give him yard time alone and the daily pics and videos of him running around and having fun with his sitter really puts me at ease. He comes home happy every time he's stayed.

Steve Dias

Truly this is the ONLY boarding kennel we trust to look after our dogs. The staff are genuine dog/cat lovers. The accommodation for the dogs is fantastic. Many options of various activities to keep them happy and engaged (ours love the water park option) as well as healthy dinner options. We also received daily updates via email showing photos and videos. When we pick them up, they have been washed, smell fantastic and are genuinely happy with waggy tails. If you go away on holiday...KIP will make your pets feel like they are on holiday as well. Extremely highly recommended 👍
