Pet care tips
Cleaning routines staff actually stick to
Why most cleaning checklists fail, and how to build one that survives a full house and a new hire.

Long checklists get skipped. Short ones tied to a moment in the day get done. Anchor each task to a trigger, such as after the last pick-up, before the first group, or when a run empties, instead of to a time.
Three lists, not one
- Between pets: the 90-second reset that stops cross-contamination.
- End of shift: the pass that makes the next opener's morning easy.
- Weekly deep clean: the jobs that need a quiet building.
Name an owner for each list
"Everyone" cleans nothing. Put a name against each list per shift and the standard holds itself up.
