Pet Boarding Newcastle

Pet Boarding You Can Trust

Here at Kip, we are determined to go the extra mile when it comes to boarding for Newcastle pet owners. Friendlier than your average kennel and cattery, we ensure your four-legged friend is happy, physical, and content with our team while you're away on holidays.

We believe that your pets should be able to enjoy the finest animal resort whilst you are enjoying a break. From the five-star service at Kip to our cosy rooms, nutritious meals, and spacious accommodation, we often find the most challenging part is getting pets to go back home after their stay!

Kip's pet boarding Newcastle service is offered in our Hunter Valley location, surrounded by bushland for your pet to safely explore during their stay. We offer a door to door pet chauffeur service for both cats and dogs, allowing you to focus on getting ready for your holiday while we get your furry friend ready for their own vacation. When you choose Kip for pet boarding Newcastle, you can count on the happiness of your four-legged friend being the number one priority.

Pet Boarding Newcastle: for Cats

We adore cats at Kip and have a beautiful pet resort specially built to house all feline needs. Kip is not your standard cattery; this is a pet hotel, where your cat can enjoy all the benefits of top-quality services and luxurious accommodation tailored to the unique requirements of a kitty.

Our classic room for Newcastle cats is equipped with a comfy cat lounge, and a courtyard for them to explore and play within. Kip's pet boarding for cats is within a comfortable environment, with staff on hand to give your furball all the individual attention they need. Our facilities are safe and secure, and all our cats will be stimulated enough every day without getting into any trouble. No matter the season, all rooms are fully insulated to keep pets comfortable and relaxed year-round.

Whether you need pet boarding for a day, a weekend, or longer, we assure you that your loved one will be pampered at Kip. With lots of extra add-ons for walks, brushes, and extra one-on-one cuddle time, we're positive that we can ensure your cat's stay is purr-fect.

Pet Boarding For Dogs

Kip's pet boarding Newcastle service offers everything a dog could need: spacious indoor and outdoor areas, healthy meals, and all the pats in the world from our team of dog lovers. Kip's facilities have been purpose-built to house dogs the way they should be, with enough space for them to be social and play but just enough private time to relax and wind down after a long day.

Whilst staying with Kip, your pooch will be spoiled with a whole range of activities that will keep them busy whilst you are away. From Kip's very own canine water park to the surrounding bushland for your doggo to safely explore, there is no shortage of activities for your pup to enjoy. We offer two styles of room for your furry friend:

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.

Trace M

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.

Hunter Valley Accomodation

Luxury Villas

Kip's luxury villa is the pinnacle of relaxation. Your pet will have a room to itself, along with all the trimmings they need. A massive private outdoor yard connected to their room is the special touch they need to make them feel most at home. Toys, soft blankets, and a TV ensure your pup is kept busy at all times. For the warmer months, we have air conditioning keeping the room at a comfortable temperature.

Classic Room

Kip is against the outdated massive, shared boarding facilities for dogs. We believe dogs, just like you and I, benefit significantly from having their own space. The classic room is rich in natural light and is well insulated; plus, with a cosy bed, your pooch will have a restful sleep every night. The rooms are regularly cleaned and treated for any nasties, so you can be assured your pup will be safe and sound between the walls of the classic room. Cats enjoy climate-controlled environments that are cosy and exploration friendly.

Pet Chauffeur Service

Kip’s pet boarding Newcastle is made all the better with the addition of our pet chauffeur service. Available for all pets, let us take away the nuisance of needing to drop off your pets at our Newcastle pet resort – we will come directly to you! Door to door service as standard; we will come and collect your pets and place them in a secure crate; they’ll have a comfy air-conditioned trip to our boarding facility. Following their stay, your four-legged friend will be escorted safely back to your door for you to reunite and swap stories about your holidays!

Mealtime at Kip

Kip knows that both dogs and cats can have sensitive stomachs. If your pet has any special dietary requirements, we are more than happy to accommodate them. We service premium pet food as standard, and we can tailor a menu to your pooch or cat as required. Mealtimes are supervised, so don't worry about neighbouring animals stealing your pet's goodies.

All pets at kip are entitled to a range of delicious treats as standard to reward good behaviour throughout their stay. There are also lots of extra goodies you can choose from to make their stay better, from pig ears to bones for them to nibble on.
