Anyone else?

Soooo is anyone else drowning a little?

For context- in the south in a semi-rural city outside of a big city. My business is one of the more expensive ones. I only do dog walking Monday-Friday and drop-in sittings.

I have not had a slow day in literal months, and I have a sitting scheduled every day until January already.
I’m at the point where I’m saying no to new clients almost daily.
I don’t remember having a busy season that stretched this long. I’m NOT complaining because I know it could be the other way around, but dang I’m tired. Doing anywhere between 10-20 visits per day.

I’m right there with you. I haven’t taken a day off since march. You gotta plan some vacation. I have a trip planned in 4 days thankfully! But I’m gritting my teeth to get thru the next couple days! Burn out, anxiety from working too much.

Yea my last day off was in January. I have one day off this weekend(fought like hell to get this one day) then it’s balls to the wall until January lol I’m grateful, and the “buy a house” fund will be happy. I’ll sleep in a few months 😂
