The Weekend Off Myth

Work-life balance, burnout prevention, and reclaiming personal time.

The Myth of the Pet Care Owner's Weekend Off

When you run a dog walking or boarding facility, the line between "work time" and "personal time" doesn't just blur—it often disappears completely.

The weekend—the one time you're supposed to recharge—is frequently interrupted by:

  • New client texts asking about next month's boarding.

  • Staff emails needing confirmation on scheduling swaps.

  • Checking your dashboard "just in case" something went wrong.

  • Responding to social media messages about daycare rates.

If you are always "on," you are heading straight toward burnout. This level of constant availability is not a sign of dedication; it's a sign of a single-point-of-failure business model.
