About Us
Kipper Care was named in honour of our beloved chocolate lab, Kipper, who passed in 2025. She was truly part of our family, and like many dog owners, we understood how important it was to know she was in a calm, safe, and loving environment whenever we had to be away. That experience shaped how we think about care and what dogs really need when they are separated from their owners.
After losing Kipper, we realized we not only had the heart to continue sharing that kind of care, but also a genuine desire to support other dog owners. Kipper Care was created to provide a home environment where dogs feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for, so you can go away with confidence knowing your pet is in a place where they are truly looked after.
Experienced dog owners with decades of hands-on care!
We will love yours as we did ours so that they feel comfort while in our care.
Ralph and I have decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, settled, and comfortable in a home environment. With a calm, attentive approach and a healthcare background, we are comfortable supporting daily routines, managing minor issues, and responding appropriately if something unexpected arises. We treat every dog in our care with the same level of attention and respect we gave our own.
