The best robots for pet owners

Litter, hair and keeping an eye on things while you’re away.

By The Home Robot Picker team · Oct 23, 2026

Pets create chores that robots are surprisingly good at. Here’s a robot for each.

Litter

The Whisker Litter-Robot 4 sifts waste automatically after each visit and is rated for up to four cats.^[1]

Hair

A robot vacuum with a self-emptying dock and obstacle avoidance handles daily shedding. Our sister site Which RoboVac has a quiz that weighs pets and budget.

Checking in

Rolling cameras like the Enabot EBO let you drive around the house from your phone to find the cat or check on the dog. Enabot’s store lists models from $399 to $999.^[4] For something more playful, KEYi’s Loona (from $403.99) is built for interaction and games.^[3]

Things to watch

• Some dogs chase or attack moving robots. Introduce them slowly.
• Keep charging cables out of reach of chewers.
• Use privacy settings on any camera robot when you’re home.
