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 $126!
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 cozy naps, Kip provides a stimulating and nurturing environment, ensuring your dogs enjoy their day to the fullest.

Tristan Michelsons
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
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.
Meet the Managers
Luke Andrews
Cluster Manager
Luke (and Padfoot) have been part of the Kip community for several years. He comes with a wealth of experience and has proven it every day. His passion for dogs and his team is unquestionable, and he throws himself into every challenge with energy and enthusiasm.
“Seeing the process of dogs from their first day and growing in confidence visit by visit is always super rewarding. The mixture of being able to work with dogs and have so much fun at work but also conversing with so many lovely owners as well.”
Dia Barnes
Manager
Dia is one of our daycare superstars and brings enthusiasm and fresh ideas as Manager. With a natural affinity for dogs and a dedication to their well-being, Dia ensures a fun and safe environment for all our furry guests. She has shown initiative and always does every task with a smile, so it's no wonder she's loved by both dogs and parents alike.
