Fabulous place, our dog is always so excited to be dropped off there and doesn't care about us leaving at all 🤣 All the dogs we see there appear to be having so much fun and love the staff there, I also don't know how they keep all the areas so clean looking when they have so many dogs. We especially love the daily photo updates. 10 out of 10 recommend
I honestly cannot recommend Adelaide Hills Kip enough!! The owners and staff go above and beyond in every way — from the warm welcomes at drop-off to the adorable daily updates, you can tell they genuinely care. My dog Winnie loves this place too! She comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in such capable, kind hands. Thank you Kip!!
Kip is a great place for our furry friends to enjoy while we are away. The staff at the reception are very friendly, professional and supportive while eager to serve you and receiving the pet for boarding. We were to drop off our son’s greyhound “Spot” for 5 days . He had been at Kip earlier and the staff recognised him. He was very excited to be at Kip. Overall the experience was really great!
My 2 Tibetan Mastiffs stayed with Kip whilst I was visiting family in Adelaide. I cannot recommend this place enough!! The owner and staff went above and beyond with care and communication, I was so pleased to get daily updates with pictures and reassurance my doggies were happy. I have boarded my dogs in care in Melbourne and they had reservations due to the size and breed of my dogs. Kip in the Adelaide Hills was the complete opposite, they know how to look after and interact with large breeds like I haven’t experienced in other places. My doggie’s warmed to the staff straight away and we’re so happy. I’m so grateful and thankful to have found such a caring and lovely boarding for my dogs when I’m visiting Adelaide. Can’t thank them enough for caring for my dogs so well. Highly highly recommended!!!
Always amazing service the pet taxi is great the pups love it highly recommended
After a bad experience with another kennel a friend recommended kip ,I was very impressed at the kennel and the care they take. It is not cheapest but you always pay for quality.
Kip is truly a holiday resort for dogs.
This place always looks after our Fur Baby when we need, and the daily updates/photos keep us in the loop as we always miss our Diego when he's not with us! Keep up the great work customer service is always top notch.

Every stay includes a comfortable room, daily playtime with our team, free photo /video updates, and premium kibble meals. You’re also welcome to tour the accommodation beforehand for extra peace of mind.
