Alysia Blundell
The team at Kip Hunter Valley are absolutely amazing! They were so welcoming and made us feel Atlas was in safe hands. We loved how we got regular photo & video updates to see what he was up to. Atlas definitely had the best time & I think he was sad to leave. He’ll be looking forward to his next stay! 😊
Iain Ferrie
No need to look elsewhere this place is the best. Top class service and my dog is always looking forward to going and is spoilt rotten.
Charlie Sleiman
What can I say? My dog absolutely hated coming back home. He was grumpy, sad and couldn't be bothered for anything. While I wanted to snap him out of it, it was a sign of how much he had missed Kip Hunter Valley. It was important for us that wherever we left our fur baby American Staffy, Brutus, he needed to be on his own as he is quite reactive around other dogs. I knew straight away from reading the reviews and talking to Kip beforehand that this was the place from Brutus. Took a load off our shoulders. All in all we left him for 3 weeks and it was the best decision we made. We will definitely be dropping him off again.

Lovely place. Ange showed us around the place, explaining to us everything. She has a heart of gold & loved animals. ❤️ We are considering booking our dogs in for the holiday stay. One of my lab needs care assistance due to post surgery & they would be the best place to care for.

Doggy Chauffeur Service
Sydney dog boarding is a cinch with our chauffeur service.
On the first morning of your stay, one of our team members will come direct to your house and pick up your dog in Sydney, in one of our air-conditioned Kip Chauffeur Vans. Pick-ups are always completed in the morning, typically between 6-9:30am for the Sydney Region. You can rest assured knowing that our expert drivers will be giving your cat or dog the best quality of care from the moment they’re picked up from your place in Sydney, right up until they meet our full pet crew at the Hunter Valley resort. We just wish you could see your pets light up when they see the grounds for the first time!
When it’s time to head home at the end of their dog boarding stay, we’ll personally drop your furry friend back right to your door, wherever you’re located in Sydney city or Greater Sydney. All part of the service we offer as the provider of pet boarding Australians can trust!
Treats and meals
Is your dog on a special food plan? Here at Kip, feeding your dog the same high standard of food as they get at home is just one part of our expert level of care within our dog kennels. We serve high-quality dog food to all our dogs, with processes in place to make sure your dog isn’t eating too little (or too much!). And if your dog is on a specialised diet we are more than happy to serve meals from home. Just bring home made meals along at check-in for dog boarding or give them to our friendly driver if you’re getting home pick-up from Sydney. It’s just part of providing the best dog and puppy boarding Sydney experience.
You can even add in extras to make your pet’s stay as unique as they are. The animal-loving foodies at Kip have put together the best treats menu for your pup. Paw-sonalise your furry friend’s dog boarding stay with treats such as pigs ears, small bones, roo-stick or peanut butter Kongs.
Whether your pup’s a rambunctious ruffian or chilled canine, our team of animal-loving carers will make sure all dogs and pets are getting the right balance of play and chill to suit them while boarding. At Kip dog boarding in Sydney, you can be sure your furry member is getting the same love and care as they would with you at home. Kip offers long- and short-term pet boarding, just outside of Sydney, for your furry friend. Our luxurious dog boarding hotel is more of a resort than a Sydney pet boarding kennel.
At Kip Hunter Valley, your furry adventurer can safely explore 10 acres of charming countryside - a mere hop, skip and jump from Sydney. They can check out our many great bushwalking trails, have fun in our four green play yards and even enjoy a splash about at our paw-pose built splash park for dogs and pets.
At Kip Lake Macquarie, your pooch can also enjoy local bushwalking tracks, extra playtime with our animal handlers, or even an irresistible roast chicken dinner! With all these alfresco adventures on offer, you just know your furball’s going to have the best time.
When it’s time for a kip, your pet can relax in their own private indoor resort-style room with adjoining private outdoor green space. Our Luxury Villa dog boarding rooms, exclusive to Kip Hunter Valley, are climate controlled to ensure your pet is comfortable while pet boarding, whatever the season. And because we know that all dogs are different, we offer different pet boarding accommodation options and packages.
ACRES OF SPACE
Our dog boarding kennels offer plenty of outdoor space for your furry adventurer to safely explore, as well as four spacious green yards and many bushwalking trails while pet boarding with our Sydney service. All of our paw-sonalisable pet boarding packages offer one-on-one outdoor playtime with a member of our friendly, animal-loving crew of Sydney carers.
COOL OFF IN THE WATER PARK
One of the things that makes Kip Hunter Valley the best dog boarding facility is our water splash park. The first of its kind, our water fun park for dogs is paw-pose-built and hugely popular with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your furry friend can enjoy a splashing time chasing a ball through fountains, cooling off in the pool and playing with one of our Kipsters that are also pet boarding! Please note that the pool is only available at Kip Hunter Valley.
PAW-SONAL SERVICE
All of our staff at Kip Sydney are animal lovers through and through. They love making your doggo happy and giving them the best day, every day of their pet boarding stay. One-on-one time with one of our Kip carers comes as standard (and a priority) for all pets, with all our boarding packages and services. If you’d like to paw-sonalise your pup’s dog boarding stay, even more, you can schedule extra cuddle time for them with one of our members and add in extra meals and treats to make it feel like home.
