Comfortable Canine Stays with Kip

Classic Rooms

The classic room at our Central Coast dog boarding comes with enough space for a comfy bed and some space to walk around to stretch during downtime. The rooms have both indoor and outdoor space. All the rooms are fully insulated and have lots of natural light to help your pooch get comfortable.

Bush Walks with Kip

An active dog is a happy dog - exploring new sights and smells will keep your pup stimulated during their stay with Kip. At Kip's dog boarding on the Central Coast, you can add a scenic bushwalk to their stay, where your dog will go out on their lead once a day to explore some of the bushland around Kip's facility. Exploring the bush is a great way for your pup to get their exercise as well as learn to get comfortable with a new environment.

Social Play

Socialising is important for every dog's development. Positive interactions with other dogs help them to understand the temperaments of other dogs. When your dogs play at Kip, we'll group them up with dogs of both similar size and character, to help them get their confidence up. We'll also supervise all their play sessions, to ensure everyone has fun and behaves.

Keeping In Touch

If you are missing your pooch whilst you're on holiday, make sure to follow Kip on social media to see the frequent updates via the Customer Portal and on our social media pages. We can send you a daily photo and video update of the fun your dog is getting up to.

We cannot recommend Kip Hunter Valley high enough. Our cat Meow has always received excellent care and is happy when he is there. We receive daily updates and videos that we love to watch and can see how much the staff care about our cat and the extra efforts they go to to settle him in and occupy him. We cannot thank the staff enough for their above and beyond care

The team at Kip Hunter valley make the stay for Patch a vacation paradise. He is always so happy and the last time he seemed to take himself to the room forgetting all about us in the reception. The team are so caring and take care of his special needs and his medication. The rooms were clean and the amenties and activities for the pups are awesome We were able to have a holiday with complete peace of mind that Patch was well looked after and getting his exercise.

We absolutely loved how well our cat was taken care of. We got a daily video of our cat which was always lovely! We also loved how beautifully each person (who was videoing our cat) talked to him - so kind! We would absolutely use Kip again!

Food and Treats

Does your pup have its own meal plan? At Kip, we can accommodate dietary requirements for all our furry residents. We serve premium dried dog food for all our guests, with tailored servings to meet the needs of each dog. For those dogs who like their own food, we can serve your meals from home. Just ensure it's clearly labelled, and our staff will make sure your dog gets their meal. We supervise mealtimes for all our dogs, and we'll make sure that if you bring any food in, your pup is the only one eating it.

Pooch Chauffeur Service

Organising another trip for your dog whilst sorting out your own is a hassle. Let us take care of the dog, so you can focus on your trip. Our dog chauffeur service will come to collect your precious cargo from your Central Coast doorstep and bring them to the Kip facility in a lovely, air-conditioned van in their own secure crate. When the time comes for them to head back home, they’ll be treated to the same experience back to your residence.
