Introduce the routine slowly while you learn the pet's habits. A previously reliable unattended schedule may no longer be suitable when accidents or floor-level toys are possible.

A practical checklist

  1. Start with the robot off and allow distance from it.
  2. Use short supervised cleans away from the pet's resting area.
  3. Pause unattended schedules until the floor-preparation routine is dependable.

What this looks like at home

A new dog may move toys into the dock approach or leave a water spill after drinking.

Check What matters
Before cleaning Remove spills, waste and loose toys.
