Cameron Bell
If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. The team at Kip Brunswick are absolute legends/gems/superstars. You can see & feel how much these individuals love dogs and love their job. My 2 mini schnauzers, Poppy & Merlin, can sometimes be stand offish with other humans, especially after lock down, however at drop off they are excited to see who is there to collect them for their day ahead. They just get everything right: from the viewing window behind reception, the daily video updates you get and the care and compassion shown by every single team member. I will never look at another daycare option. Thank you to awesome team at Kip Happy Stays Brunswick and for the care you give to my beautiful kids 🐾🐾

Classic Room
Our comfy classic rooms are a private haven for your pup. We don’t believe in rusty old kennels at Kip. Even for the most easy-going of canines, being in tight quarters all day can incite stress and aggressive behaviours. So, why put your pup through it? Space and access to outdoor grass yards are the standards at our Australian dog boarding facilities. Our pet resort rooms are well insulated and come with a cosy bed, so your pooch can enjoy a restful night’s sleep at a comfortable temperature, all year round.

Extra Activities for Active Pups
Playtime
At Kip, we know how much your furry friend loves to run around outside in the fresh air. So, when your pet comes to stay, add on some extra playtime in our beautiful and spacious grassy yards! Dogs require a certain level of physical exercise and mental stimulation every day to remain happy and healthy, so our outdoor play sessions will be just what the doctor ordered! Our highly trained team of Aussie animal lovers will supervise and provide lots of pats, toys, and treats!
When you book your furry family members in for playtime at Kip dog boarding Australia, you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is socialising and enjoying playtime in the safest environment!
Swims in our water fun park
Most dogs hit the ceiling when they spot water! Whether it be the ocean, a river, or a puddle, your dog is heading straight for it, ready for a dip. And who can blame them? Our Australian summers can get very hot, and our four-legged friends play hard, particularly those with longer coats. A swim in our water fun park is like heaven for dogs.
Available at our Hunter Valley and Brisbane locations, your pup will be able to burn off bundles-of-energy in our on-site pool! Swimming is a fantastic exercise for pooches young and old. It strengthens their muscles, hearts, and lungs while taking the weight off their hips and back joints. When you book your dog into Kip Hunter Valley or Brisbane, add on a splash in our doggie water fun park!
Bushwalks
With Kip Australia, we know all too well your dog’s love of walkies! As spacious and beautiful as our facilities are, we understand that your dog will always crave new smells and adventures outside of the Kip home base. When you add a bushwalk to your pup’s itinerary, we’ll take them to a nearby bush track or park, giving them the chance to have a nice sniff before heading back inside for more playtime with their fellow doggie boarders. Our experienced team of carers ensure they keep a good eye on all dogs during our walks so that nothing goes wrong on the walk!
For dogs who love to explore the great Aussie outdoors, why not add a bushwalk each day around our paw-fect property?
Door-to-Door Transport
Kip provides the dog boarding Australians can rely on for the entirety of the boarding process. We’re all about convenience, and our pet chauffeur service means you don’t have to factor in another trip when you’re already going away. We’ll collect your furball from home so they can travel to one of our Australian locations in the comfort of our secure, fully air-conditioned van.
Safety is always our focus, so your pet will be cared for by a Kip team member throughout their journey, staying secure in their very own individual travel crate. When it’s time to return home, we’ll personally drop your furry family member back to your door.
Available at all boarding locations.
Treats and meals
Does your pup have any special dietary requirements? Maybe they’re allergic to eggs, or dairy doesn’t sit well in their little furry tummies? Not to worry, we’ve got food plans covered! Our team of carers at Kip dog boarding Australia are the experts at tailoring menus to match the diet your dog is used to enjoying at home. Our guests are fed ROYAL CANIN® as part of our base room rate.
What’s more, your pup can enjoy a range of delectable treats to make their stay with us that much better. Choose from our tasty selection of titbits like pig ears, small bones, roo-sticks, or Kongs stuffed with peanut butter to add to your furball’s stay.
We supervise all our doggie boarders during mealtime to prevent any funny business, ensuring your furry family member doesn’t have access to other foods.
