How to Work From Home With Pets

Posted on October 20, 2022

In this day and age is it common to find yourself working from home. With this new change in working environments becoming the new norm – here are our top tips for WFH with pets in the house.

Find Distractions

Prepare a ton of distractions and toys like kongs filled with peanut butter and keep them handy in your freezer. These distracting toys become a savior when you need to get on a phone call or long zoom meeting to keep your dog busy!

Get rid of the Doorbell

It is key to put a sign over your doorbell on days you work from home to make sure your dog doesn’t have a barking attack mid zoom meeting. A simple hack is to put tape over your doorbell or a sign on the door telling delivery men not to ring that day. Trust us this can be a life-saving hack.

Arrange your Pets

Sometimes you can’t risk any background noise, and that calls for moving your pet. This is the perfect time to pull out the distracting toys and put them in another room so they don’t interrupt your workflow.
