Friendly staff and our boys always leave exhausted after a playful day. They are asleep before we get home.

Kip made our first experience so reassuring. Communication was fantastic, along with friendliness, lovely interaction and multiple daily updates. I walked away feeling like my boy was in wonderful hands. Thank you to all staff 🐾 So greatly appreciated.

My pup gets so excited when she realises she's going to Kip. They're all lovely and she never looks back when I drop her off. I get video updates during the day which I really love. She has so much energy and plays hard all day and sleeps like a log afterwards. So win for her and a definite win for me too. I recommend Kip to anyone wanting to socialise their dog.
Has your dog been itching to try daycare?
You need to attend a First Day Trial before coming more regularly
We want to ensure your pup gets started on the right paw when they join the Kip family. That’s why all dogs do a first-day trial to see whether the daycare environment suits them. On this first-day trial, we encourage you to arrive before 9:00am to give your dog the best chance of success. We will give you an update throughout the day, and at pick-up, you will receive a report card, and the team will discuss a recommended attendance plan. You will also need to be available for an earlier pick-up should our staff deem that daycare is not suitable for your dog.
Grab a 3-Day Intro Pack for only $26/day (1 month expiry) - saving $114!
To attend daycare, your dog must be vaccinated (to C5 or above) and desexed if over 12 months. Dogs can attend their First Day Trial 10 days after their second vaccination (C5 or equivalent).
A daycare worth barking about!
From playtime to cozy naps, Kip provides a stimulating and nurturing environment, ensuring your dogs enjoy their day to the fullest.
Experienced Staff, Safe Space, Structured Routine, and Fun Activities
is what makes Kip doggy daycare different!
Not every doggy daycare is built equal! At Kip, our daycare model is built off decades of doggy daycare learnings and experience. We put your dog first and ensure both you and your pooch are able to get the most out of our enriching daycare environment.
After the First Day Trial, your dog will reap the benefits of the structured daily routines and our focus on developing fundamental skills and manners (recall, gate manners, group sits) that makes Kip unique. To top things off, you’ll receive regular photo and video updates of your dog’s daycare experience, receive honest feedback and see the benefits daycare provides.
