If you’ve ever struggled to figure out how much time off to allow your team, this episode is for you. In today’s Hot Take Friday, I’m unpacking one of the most common challenges in the pet care industry: balancing flexibility for your team with the operational consistency your business needs.
I’ll share how I structured time-off requests in my own pet care company, what systems made it easier, and why focusing on clarity instead of control is the key to reducing burnout and building trust.
✨ Key Takeaways
• Shift your mindset from “how much time off” to “what system best supports clarity”
• Implement a clear notice cadence for time-off requests
• Protect your business by tracking averages and seasonal trends
• Encourage your team to post shifts and find coverage within a system
• Claim your own time off first - and protect it
Cheering you on,
Michelle
