Dog boarding and day care in Gloucester, area by area
Nineteen dog boarders, day cares and kennels are listed across the five areas that make up Gloucester on this site. Supply is concentrated in Quedgeley and Churchdown, and Gloucester's own city centre currently has no listed business at all.

Gloucester city centre has no listed business
GL1, Gloucester's own dense city centre, has no boarding, home-boarding or day-care licence holder on either council's register, and none was found in general search either. In practice this means the businesses on this page serve the city from its surrounding areas — Quedgeley, Churchdown, Brockworth and Tewkesbury — rather than from the centre itself. If you live centrally, expect a short drive to reach any of the businesses below.
Quedgeley
Eight businesses are listed here, the largest concentration in Gloucester, including the home boarders Regorlien & K9 Walkabouts, Special Friends Retreat for Dogs, Perkins Paws and Harkins Hounds, the day-care specialist Barkeley Barks, Paw Paws Doggy Daycare & Boarding, and two kennels, Country Kennels & Cattery and Sunnyside Boarding Kennels & Cattery. Most are licensed by Gloucester City Council; Country Kennels & Cattery instead falls under Tewkesbury Borough Council, and Sunnyside could not be matched to either, and is more likely licensed, if at all, by a neighbouring council not checked for this listing.
Churchdown & Innsworth and Hucclecote & Brockworth
Churchdown has five listings: Doggylicious, BJ's Pet Resort & Spa, Linds Furry Friends, Churchdown Cattery & Kennels and House Of Paws. Hucclecote has three: Brockwoof Dog Boarding, 4 Legged Friends and Henley Bank Kennels, the last of which could not be matched to a council register despite being a long-established site built in 1999. All eight sit under Tewkesbury Borough Council rather than Gloucester City Council, even though Churchdown and Hucclecote share Gloucester's built-up area and postcodes.
How prices compare by area
Only two Gloucester businesses publish a price, and both happen to be in the areas covered here: Special Friends Retreat for Dogs in Quedgeley charges £30 per 24 hours of home boarding and £25 for day care up to eight hours, while Linds Furry Friends in Churchdown charges £40 per 24 hours of boarding and £30 a day for day care. That is not enough to say one area is cheaper than another, since every other business quotes once it knows your dog and your dates, but it is a starting point if you are comparing Quedgeley against Churchdown specifically.
Tewkesbury
Three businesses serve Tewkesbury itself: Happy Hounds Boarding and Daycare, The Pet Nana and DFor Day Care, all licensed by Tewkesbury Borough Council. Happy Hounds was flagged during research as possibly having paused new boarding bookings, so it is worth confirming by phone that a business is currently taking bookings, in Tewkesbury or any other area, before you rely on any single listing.
