Benjamin Bryant
Fabulous care for our dog - she loves going there which makes us happy. Doing the extra ball throws and bush walks are an essential for our active hound. Pictures of her fun on our travels are fabulous. The staff really care about her and look after her very well.

Step 5: Enjoy Regular Updates to your Phone
Enjoy regular photos and video updates right to your phone throughout their stay.

Has your pet been pawing to stay at a pet retreat?
What you need to know about your Boarding Visit
As pet pawrents ourselves, we know that leaving your pet for the first time can be stressful! Every trip to Kip includes your own room, 1-on-1 playtime with our staff, daily photo and video updates, and premium kibble meals, and we encourage pet parents to come visit the accommodation before the trip. Whether your dog loves running in our grassy yards, or your cat loves lounging in the sun, we’re sure your pet will have the best time!
To ensure everyone’s safety, please make sure that all pets are up to date with all vaccinations, and a certificate must be presented.
