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 👍

Taylor Pretty

We have been coming to Kip for 5 years and wouldn't take our dog anywhere else! We were tentative about putting our pup Whiskey in a kennel for the first time after he was adopted from being in the pound the 1st year of his life. The staff were great and continue to be great with his care - Whiskey is so excited to stay at Kip and see his friends, both human and other pups. He always comes back happy and smelling nice! We get to see update photos and videos every day, which helps us enjoy our holiday even more knowing our boy is having his own great holiday. The facilities are nice and we have never had any issues, whether Whiskey has gone in for daycare or stayed for 2 weeks. I couldn't recommend Kip and their staff any higher for taking care of your fur bb while you're away. :) (Happy boy photo from his most recent stay)

What you need to know about your Boarding Visit

As pet pawrents ourselves, we know that leaving your pet for the first time can be stressful! Every trip to Kip includes your own room, supervised social or solo playtime, daily photo and video updates, and premium kibble meals, and we encourage pet parents to come visit the accommodation before the trip.
