You don’t just have to live with bad behaviour! A visit to doggy daycare means they’ll get to learn and reinforce basic training and good habits. Our experienced handlers will help them with the basic skills to be a well-mannered dog, no matter what their age.
As pet parents ourselves, we know leaving your pup can be daunting, so we deliver regular photo and/or video updates (aka pup-dates) right to your phone. You can access these through an easy-to-use customer portal!

Is your dog ready to join the daycare fun?
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 $132!
To attend daycare, your dog will need to 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 cosy naps, Kip provides a stimulating and nurturing environment, ensuring your dogs enjoy their day to the fullest.

We’ve been using Kip for a few months now and couldn’t be happier with the care the team gives our pup, Link. We’ve tried a few different daycares, and Kip has been by far our favourite. The staff genuinely care and are hands-on with the dogs all day long. We love that they play games, match dogs by size and energy, and also know when to give them time out for naps. The daily debriefs and multiple videos of him playing are such a great touch. It’s clear they’re really paying attention and also do a bit of behavioural training too. When Link first started, he was a bit nervous around other dogs, but now he’s confident and plays so well with dogs of all breeds and sizes. We 100% recommend Kip Marrickville! (Pic of Link and his daycare bestie below.)
Chilli absolutely loves her days at Kip Marrickville! The drop-off process is always smooth, the staff are genuinely wonderful, and you can tell they care deeply about the dogs. They send updates while she’s there - sometimes a video, sometimes a bunch of photos - and it’s always great to see how much fun she’s having. She comes home happy and completely exhausted (in the best way). We feel so lucky to have found a place that gives her that much joy. Can’t recommend them highly enough - true peace of mind for any dog parent!
Kip Marrickville has been a lifesaver for both myself and my dog. I work in the office most days of the week and knowing he is looked after by staff who love and care for him makes the world of difference. The team at Kip have always been knowledgeable, caring and understanding and it's clear to me they have the best interests of all dogs in mind. They have helped to socialise my excitable French Bulldog (who was admittingly an under-socialised COVID puppy) as well as teach him good manners that extend beyond playtime. I will be sending him there for as long as I can!
Our girl has been going to Kip since it opened. The staff are amazing, take great care of her. The photo and video updates are such a keepsake, I especially love the Polaroids for events! Completely comfortable leaving our most precious girl with them. She comes home so happy, content and sleepy 😂
Knowledgeable staff and my boy always has a fun day playing with the cav gang! Love the updates and seeing all his friends
Kip Marrickville has been nothing but amazing. We started attending Kip once a week for our staffy who required some support socialising with other dogs. We were so worried she wouldn’t pass the initial assessment and that Kip wouldn’t be the right fit, however, Dia was exceptional. You could tell from the moment we brought our little girl that Dia and her team knew exactly what they were doing. We now attend Kip regularly and I couldn’t be more happier with how they look after our girl and all the skills she has learnt along the way. I can confidently take my dog out and she has no issues interacting with other dogs. I feel so safe knowing our pup is in great hands with staff that really love all the dogs. Thank you Dia and Kip Marrickville - Pip loves seeing you guys every week ❤️
AMAZING! 5 stars! They looked after my little puppy, Maxi, exceptionally well. Kept me informed and are genuinely kind, caring and understanding. Highly recommend! Thank you.
Roxy had a fabulous and fun day on her first day she was so tired when I picked her up and today would be her second day at kip, Roxy was so excited to walk through the door and she couldn’t wait to meet all her furry buddies. I would definitely bringing her back to Kip The staff are amazing and I can trust them with my Roxy as they all love animals and I know she’ll be looked after by the team. Thank you all ❤️
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.

FAQs
Our requirements for dog daycare is as follows:
Vaccination Requirement: Your pet must be vaccinated, and the vaccination must be valid for the entire duration of your pet's stay.
- Puppies may attend daycare 10 days after their second puppy vaccine as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
- Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 (or equivalent) vaccination.
10-Day Rule: If your pet's previous vaccination had lapsed by more than 14 days, the new vaccine must be administered at least 10 days before the check-in date.
Vaccination Documentation: You are required to provide us with evidence of your pet's current (and immediate prior vaccination if checking in with 10 days of their most recent vaccination)
De-sexing Policy: Dogs must be de-sexed by 12 months
A Kip day starts bright and early at 7am, giving you plenty of time to drop off your furry friend on the way to work. Your dog’s day will be divided into two play sessions, morning and afternoon, and is broken up with quiet time in between to relax and recharge. This balance ensures that every dog has a great time without being overwhelmed and goes home looking forward to their next visit.
Groups are generally based on size, personality and play style so that your pup can enjoy their time with their BFFs (best furry friends!). Our animal handlers will also switch around groups as needed so that your dog gets the best out of every stay.
Safety is our number one priority. All dogs in our care are fully vaccinated and have passed their trial day before joining. Our floors are also non-slip and water-resistant, and our fences dig-proof.
The late cancellation charge allows us to reallocate your reservation to another pup if you cannot attend your session. This late cancellation/no-show charge applies to customers who fail to cancel a daycare visit by 5pm the day prior to the reservation.
