We were nervous about leaving our pups for the first time but the staff at Kip made us feel so assured instantly. We loved the daily videos and photos of our babies having so much fun and making friends. You can tell the staff really care. Would highly recommend Kip Hunter Valley ❤️
We were really nervous about boarding our really anxious dog but the staff at Kip put our minds at ease right from the tour, our pup was nervous at first but the video updates we received showed her have a great time with the pups and staff in no time. She was super affectionate to the staff when we picked her up, proving just how much she fell in love with everyone there. Can’t wait for our next holiday and Sal can’t either. Thanks so much Kip team!
My little boy absolutely LOVES his trips to kip. He loves the girls there and we love seeing the free updates they give (really reassuring when we’re away). So glad to have found them and worth every single cent
Massive thank you to the team for treating our boy so well, we never have any concerns when we leave him at Kip
I could not recommend this location highly enough. Lucy had a wonderful time and was sad to leave, whining all the way home. We will be back.
Fabulous accommodation for your pets while you are away. Caring staff. My dogs were so happy! Loved how they sent daily videos of them having playtime.Will be back soon. Highly recommend ❤️
Thank you to Ange and the team for taking great care of our 2 Havanese over the weekend. They were both so happy at the end of their stay. I commend you on the great and prompt communication as well as the induction tour. We loved the regular photo and video updates of our pups. Clearly they were having fun and feeling loved. We can feel confident to book them in when we need to.
Kip Boarding Hunter Valley has been amazing for our dog, Niko! She had a great time and was very well looked after during her stay. The pick-up and drop-off service was smooth, well-coordinated, and they were kind enough to drop her off right at our doorstep, which we really appreciated. Their portal, where they share updates and videos of your pet, is fantastic—super easy to use and a great way to stay connected while you're away. The booking process was seamless as well, making the whole experience stress-free. A big thank you to Ange and the team for taking such wonderful care of Niko. We couldn't recommend Kip Boarding Hunter Valley enough!
