Well organised. Respectful of your dog and their needs.
Benjamin Bryant
Fabulous care for our dog - she loves going there which makes us happy. Doing the extra ball throws and bush walks are an essential for our active hound. Pictures of her fun on our travels are fabulous. The staff really care about her and look after her very well.
Michelle Griffin
Friendly, helpful staff, great kennel, kept us up to date with progress reports and photos of our pets

I know Kip is highly recommend, it’s why I booked my pup in. My experience from initial engagement to final day wasn’t the best. I emailed requesting a quote, received a call, posed additional questions and never heard back. Called back to book him in, staff were very helpful and informative. Discussed my dogs dietary and exercise requirements I was advised that it’s noted. Quote received but didn’t include the additional services requested. Called them and I requested their Bpay or bank account details. Finally received those and I paid the invoice (7 days before accommodation) to ensure my puppy had his spot. No receipt or email notification was received acknowledging payment. Dog sitter drops puppy off, payment is requested. I call to speak to them and log into the portal at the same time. The details I was told would be there had disappeared. The details I’d input had also disappeared. Apparently their system doesn’t acknowledge direct deposits. Kip appear to be having systemic issues with their administration how can you trust someone with your treasured pet when the basic administration of the organization is questionable. I’m sure they’re great, but that was NOT my experience. Id like to add the pics I’d received were not great and only showed my dog and the background I did see looked like he stayed in an enclosure his whole stay.
