INTERIOR DESIGN TRICKS AND TIPS
This is the best boarding facility I have ever used and can’t recommend it strongly enough. The care the staff have shown my old greyhound is above and beyond. Highly recommend for all dogs but especially special cases such as anxious greyhounds, they are treated with such love and respect. Thanks for looking after Jim
Claudia Botero
We took a three-week holiday and were a bit stressed about the length of time and kennel experience. Yet, Andie and the entire Kip team operate at very high standards. All are extremely welcoming!! 🏆 It made the experience easier and my holidays more relaxed - knowing our dog was being looked after by this amazing team.💖 We added paddock play and bush walks - well worth it! The daily updates showed her happy, stimulated and increasing her stick collection The team is professional and very proactive. Our dog will be staying here every time we are on short or long holidays!
