I’ve been really impressed with Kip. Very professional in their communications and very helpful. However the most impressive aspect was the trainer Megan. So knowledgeable and giving of her time. I could see why my little guy took to her! She has a very nice energy and soft confidence. I would definitely recommend Kip

Extra Activities

At Kip Happy Stays, we know how important it is for your pup to lead an active lifestyle. When your canine companion comes to stay at a Kip dog boarding kennel, you can choose to add some additional playtime to their itinerary.

Dogs require a certain level of physical exercise and mental stimulation every day to be happy and healthy, so you can choose between outdoor play sessions, extra bushwalks, or even a full daycare session, depending on which location you pic. Our qualified team of expert Aussie caretakers will supervise and be there to provide lots of pats, toys, and treats!

Strapped for time on the morning of your getaway? Or perhaps you’re not able to organise a trip out to the dog boarding kennel before your big trip? Not to worry - when you book a dog boarding Melbourne stay with Kip, your dog will be picked up and personally transported from your home in our exceptional pet transportation service, meaning you don’t have to factor in another trip when you em-bark on your holiday. Your pet can enjoy a ride to our site, in the comforts of a secure, fully air-conditioned van. We offer dog transportation across Melbourne!
