So what does a boarding day at Basecamp actually look like? 🐾
There isn’t a strict minute-by-minute schedule because every dog is different, but our days generally revolve around a few things: routine, outside time, company and plenty of downtime.
Mornings usually start with a bathroom break, breakfast and getting outside. From there, we settle into our workday and because we both work from home, the dogs are usually right there with us.
Some nap beside our desks. Some follow us around the house. Some would happily spend half the day investigating the backyard. 😂
We make sure walks and outdoor time are part of the stay rather than an optional add-on. We also adjust activity based on the dog in front of us, a young energetic dog may want a bigger outing, while a senior dog might be much happier with a leisurely sniff around the neighbourhood and an afternoon on the couch.
Evenings are dinner, another outside break or walk, relaxing at home, and photo updates so you can see how things are going.
And with a maximum of two guest dogs at a time, we have the flexibility to actually adapt the day around them.
The goal isn’t to give every dog the exact same vacation.
It’s to make Basecamp feel as close to their version of a good day as possible.
