Kira Diesel
A massive thank you to the amazing team at KIP. I can’t recommend KIP highly enough, the staff, facilities, daily actives and updates were absolutely fabulous in every way. If you’re looking for a pet resort that goes above and beyond for your fur baby you need KIP. We will absolutely be back again.
Emilia Ahsan
Our dog has stayed here a few times now for ~a week at a time. They have been great, she has a fun time with lots of plays and even swims we add on. They always update the portal daily so you get photos and or videos of your dog. She's a bit of a flight risk so it's comforting to know the high fences on the property and that they have kennel runs with roofs too for those that need it. Highly recommend!

I'm sure my beloved Poodle Beagle X Bud adores his doggy vacay just as much, (I lie) WAY MORE than home. It is a doggo heaven. Thanks KIP. ♥️🐶
Kenn Lydiard
I like them. Straight up staff, considerate yet not fussy. Good to deal with. One very happy dog; he turned to his handler as we left and was wagging the tail off his rear end. I'll accept that as a recommendation. Looked good, well fed and cared for. Will use them again, because we can.......

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, supervised social or solo playtime, 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 prior to check-in.
