Each day spent is a day full of activities, pampering, and buckets of fun with other furry friends. Before heading off, be sure to book your pup in with Kip’s leading dog boarding service for Newcastle pets.

Pet Boarding You Can Trust
When you entrust Kip with your furry friend, your dog will have access to private and outdoor play spaces, with other pups to socialise with each day. We provide nutritious meals, an appropriate amount of treats, and endless pats for the more affectionate types! Your pup will have all the social time they need with other dogs but enough space to have well-earned rest when they need it.
Don’t want to miss out on the fun? Stay in the loop - our staff post frequent updates on social media and will provide you with daily photo and video updates. We know it can be hard to leave a dog behind, but often we find the hardest part is getting your doggo to leave Kip to go home!

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!
Dog Kennels Newcastle Pups Love
Luxury Villas
Who says you have to be the only one that gets to experience an extravagant vacation? Your furry friend can stay in one of Kip’s luxury villas. Offered at our Newcastle dog boarding location, your pup will be able to enjoy all the benefits of a private room and garden. Booking your dog into one of Kip’s luxury villas provides them their own outdoor grass yard, and a private indoor refuge with their own single bed. Here they can watch TV, play with their toys, or wrap up in a blanket, and all the while kept comfortable in a fully air-conditioned room.
Classic Room
Here at Kip, we stay away from the old kennel style of extensive, shared facilities. Our classic room options offer your pup their own special room with a comfy bed to rest their paws. All rooms are fully insulated at have lots of natural light, and even then, your pup will have plenty of time to go out and play in our outdoor yard during the day. We believe in the importance of giving dogs their own space, as even the most social dogs can become stressed or aggressive when sharing all aspects of their dog boarding experience.
Happy Dogs Are Active Dogs
Aquatic Adventurers
Available at our dog boarding Newcastle location, your dog will adore splashing and running around in Kip’s very own water park. Complete with water features and lovely shallow water for dogs to roll about in, it’s the perfect location for dogs to cool off from those hot Australian summers. Pools offer the ideal opportunity for dogs to strengthen their muscles and become more confident around water. Just like humans, swimming is excellent for the heart and lungs and gives some well-deserved relief to hip and back joints.

Roaming the Bush
As much as your pooch will love our Kip facilities, we know how important exploration of new sights and smells are in keeping their minds interested. If you choose to add a scenic bushwalk to your pup's boarding experience, a member of our team will take them to an outdoors location nearby so we can walk them around (on a lead!) and give them the chance to do some adventuring. A walk in the bush is the paw-fect opportunity to get some needed exercise whilst also learning to become familiar with new spaces and environments.
Social Play
Fresh air and grass are all your puppy will need to race off and play with the other dogs boarding at our Newcastle location. Dogs need to have stimulation and physical exercise, having other dogs to play with is a nice social bonus. Rest assured, your dog will be watched closely by our animal-loving staff, who are all well-trained in managing pups and keeping things under control if things get too crazy.
