Summary

Why is dog walking and pet sitting such a mental burden? It's not just the worry of meeting a client's expectations or concerns about missing a visit. We break down how the pet care industry is the perfect storm of task switching, multi-tasking, and distractions. Becoming more mentally prepared takes planning and reviewing not just your schedule, but also every visit. Also, standardization of visits and routines (to the extent possible) helps control the environmental impacts of going from client to client.

Main topics:

• Where does the mental burden come from?

• Problems with task switching

• Multi-tasking is draining

• Getting into a good flow

Main takeaway: Prepare for the mental burden this industry takes by planning, limiting disruptions, and getting good software or way to store information.
