How do I get started with doggy daycare?
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 $87!
To attend daycare, your dog must be vaccinated (to C5 or above) and desexed if over 6 months (or up to 12 months with medical exception). Dogs can attend their First Day Trial 10 days after their second C5 vaccination.
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.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Our boy always comes home happy and fulfilled from his time here. Staff give updates throughout the day about your fur babies experience. Booking Services cater for those that like minimal fuss with online booking, however the staff are helpful if you prefer to talk to a person.

My fur baby Bentley loves his time at daycare 🥰
Ella Macintyre
We’ve been sending our boy since he was a pup and could not be happier. The team is so attentive, you can tell they really know the quirks and personalities of all the dogs in their care. On multiple occasions they have gone above and beyond for us and we’re so grateful to have them looking after him!

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.
