Malibu loved her little holiday at Kip Hunter Valley, but us at ease knowing that she was being well looked after and making new friends with the lovely staff. Will definitely be using this company again

Ange & her team have been absolutely life changers for us. Our 2.5 year old Rottweiler has never been minded by anyone prior to his visits with KIP. Ange was so patient with our boy. Most people would look at a 60kg rotty & say it’s too much work. Ange really persisted and patiently grew a solid relationship with our boy which really created such a positive experience. The whole experience has been so inspiring to see how the ladies work with these animals. This kennel is top of the range with quality carers. Our dog went in scared for the first visit and from the experience when he returned was so excited to go back. Previously we had simply never gone away because we didn’t want to leave our boy. Kip has given us a safe haven for our boy for the occasions that we may go on a short trip. We cannot recommend Ange & her team enough. The passion & love for the animals really shines through and we truly feel blessed to have found such amazing, caring people.

Staff are passionate and caring for all animals. Replies were swift and informative. I had no worries at all in leaving our large dog with the staff at Kip Hunter Valley.

Such an amazing place. We placed our 4 month old Golden Retriever in here and she had an absolutely awesome time. Staff were great and super friendly, and treated our girl as if she was family. Video updates were fantastic, showing how much fun our girl was having. Highly recommend!

Delicious treats are just one of Kip’s many specialties. Paw-sonalise your pup’s stay with a selection of tasty tidbits like pigs ears, small bones, roo-sticks or peanut butter kongs.
