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 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.

Dog Kennels Newcastle Pups Love

Luxury Villas

Who says you have to be the only one that gets to experience an extravagant vacation? Your furry friend can stay in one of Kip’s luxury villas. Offered at our Newcastle dog boarding location, your pup will be able to enjoy all the benefits of a private room and garden. Booking your dog into one of Kip’s luxury villas provides them their own outdoor grass yard, and a private indoor refuge with their own single bed. Here they can watch TV, play with their toys, or wrap up in a blanket, and all the while kept comfortable in a fully air-conditioned room.

Classic Room

Here at Kip, we stay away from the old kennel style of extensive, shared facilities. Our classic room options offer your pup their own special room with a comfy bed to rest their paws. All rooms are fully insulated at have lots of natural light, and even then, your pup will have plenty of time to go out and play in our outdoor yard during the day. We believe in the importance of giving dogs their own space, as even the most social dogs can become stressed or aggressive when sharing all aspects of their dog boarding experience.

Happy Dogs Are Active Dogs

Aquatic Adventurers

Available at our dog boarding Newcastle location, your dog will adore splashing and running around in Kip’s very own water park. Complete with water features and lovely shallow water for dogs to roll about in, it’s the perfect location for dogs to cool off from those hot Australian summers. Pools offer the ideal opportunity for dogs to strengthen their muscles and become more confident around water. Just like humans, swimming is excellent for the heart and lungs and gives some well-deserved relief to hip and back joints.

Roaming the Bush

As much as your pooch will love our Kip facilities, we know how important exploration of new sights and smells are in keeping their minds interested. If you choose to add a scenic bushwalk to your pup's boarding experience, a member of our team will take them to an outdoors location nearby so we can walk them around (on a lead!) and give them the chance to do some adventuring. A walk in the bush is the paw-fect opportunity to get some needed exercise whilst also learning to become familiar with new spaces and environments.

Social Play

Fresh air and grass are all your puppy will need to race off and play with the other dogs boarding at our Newcastle location. Dogs need to have stimulation and physical exercise, having other dogs to play with is a nice social bonus. Rest assured, your dog will be watched closely by our animal-loving staff, who are all well-trained in managing pups and keeping things under control if things get too crazy.
