BethAnn MG

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

Amanda Vu

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!!

Shreeram Gomatam

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!

Laurie

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!!!

FAQs

Our vaccination policy for pet boarding is as follows:

  • Puppies may board 10 days after their final puppy vaccines as long as they are C5 or equivalent.
  • Kittens may board 10 days after their final kitten vaccines as long as they are F3 or equivalent.
  • Dogs must have an up-to-date C5 (or equivalent) vaccination.
