Kip Hobart

My crazy little beagle puppy has been coming to kip since she was 5 months old. As a high energy puppy she can be a bit of a handful, but all of the Kip staff are wonderful and patient with her. She's always so excited when we arrive, and completely exhausted from all of the play at the end of the day! We love getting the updates during the day with photos and videos of her having fun with the other dogs. The staff are all very friendly, the location is great, and the building looks very clean and secure. Highly recommended!

Ruby has been going to KIP since she was a few months old. She always jumps in the door so excited for daycare. Ruby always comes home happy and tired after a big day of playing with her puppy friends. We love the daily updates from staff. The staff are always friendly and polite. Would definitely recommend KIP Hobart.

Ivan has been attending Kip Hobart for over a year now, and he's always happy to hop in the car every Friday morning, knowing where he's going! The staff always give him a wonderful welcome, and I love getting their updates throughout the day on what he's up to. Ivan has been going to Kip since he was six months old, and it's been great for making sure he's well socialised and plays well with other dogs. I'm so glad we have Kip as an option for him!

Little Winston has been going to Kip for almost four years now. He is always excited to be dropped off and play with his friends (both human and doggy). It's definitely his favourite time of the week. The team do an amazing job at looking after Winston and plan lots of activities to keep him occupied throughput the day. I would highly recommend.

Treakle (a Brussels Griffon), now 11 years old, has been going to Kip (and previous incarnation, Club K9) since he was just weeks old - and the size of a Coke can, according to then Club K9 team member Scott. He has always loved going there and it has been wonderful for him - initially in socialising him and now as his favourite days of the week. He gets so excited when we tell him he is “off to see the doggies”. He has a great time there, with both his doggie and human mates. The booking system is very convenient and flexible. Only suggestion is it would be great if overnight stays were brought back as it was such a good option for when we needed to be away from home.

My Dalmation Jake has been attending Kip daycare for 8.5 years. In his younger days he was a full timer, he now attends weekly and is excited every visit to chat and play with his dog and hooman friends. The staff have always been amazing, helpful and caring. As Jake gets older and has recovered from double cruciate operations the staff are understanding and attend to his medication requirements. Nothing is ever a problem to these beautiful pooch loving people. Keep up the great work team Kip.

Always a positive experience dropping miss piper off and picking her up. She has been going for a bit over 12 months now, since we started puppy school. Her confidence has grown and grown being around other dogs, and even though she’s a complete diva all of the staff show her so much care and love. It has also been great to be able to ask advice and be given strategies and encouragement as piper is my first puppy.

We take our Labrador Retriever, Juniper, to Kip Hobart once a week for a full day stay.She LOVES going there, from the moment we pull up to the kerb, she is chomping at the bit to meet up with old friends and make new ones.She is so happy and exhausted by the end of the day. The daily photo and/or video updates of what she has been up are the highlights of our day.The staff are so friendly, they remember every dog’s name and are happy to provide advice if you are ever wondering about changes in your puppy’s behaviour.

Monty has been going to both the Hobart and Kingston Kip Centres for almost twelve months. He absolutely loves going to Kip and virtually pulls us through the door each morning, he is so excited to be there. Pick ups and drop offs are really quick and all the staff are really lovely and caring with him. Monty adores them and all of his doggy friends. We receive regular activity feeds each day so we can see what fun he has been having and when we pick him up at night he is very tired, which is great! He’s also had some issue with skin allergies so the Kip staff have been really accommodating in helping us manage that. We’re really grateful to the Kip team and highly recommend both the Hobart and Kingston Kip doggy daycare centres. Thanks Kip! From Julie and Monty
