A quieter routine is as much about timing and distance as a quoted decibel number. Give the pet a separate comfortable space and introduce the machine gradually.

A practical checklist
- Begin with the robot inactive so the pet can keep a comfortable distance.
- Run a short supervised clean away from the pet's resting area.
- Schedule loud dock emptying when it is least disruptive and monitor the pet's response.
What this looks like at home
A pet may tolerate the moving vacuum but react strongly to a brief auto-empty cycle.
Protect the pet and the cleaning route
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Before cleaning | Remove spills, waste and loose toys. |
| During cleaning | Keep animals away from moving brushes and stressful noise. |
| After cleaning | Inspect hair collection and the dock path. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not force a frightened animal to remain beside the robot for acclimatisation.
