Domesticating animals and keeping them as pets is an age-old practice, which humans have been carrying out since centuries. Earlier, pets always had company and were constantly around some member of the family. But with today's fast-paced life and hectic schedule, our pets are forced to stay all alone at home with no entertainment or companionship.

All working pet owners will agree with me when I say that our hearts break into little pieces when we leave our beloved pets at home, without anyone else for company. The worst part is that when we come back, they greet us without getting angry and do not show any attitude. They just shower us with unconditional love and relieve us off the day's stress. When they are so forgiving towards us even after being left alone, then the least we could do is come up with ways to keep them occupied throughout the day.

A word of caution - avoid giving your pets toys made of plastic or those with any metal parts, as their sharp edges might damage your pet's gums or other areas.

Given below are steps that can be taken to ensure that your pet is occupied with something or the other while you're not at home, without making a complete mess of the house.
Basic Needs

Never leave the house without ensuring that there is enough food and water for your pet. Keep at least two bowls of water for your pet, so that he is hydrated well enough throughout the day. Depending on how long you're going to be away for the day, you need to keep food accordingly so that he doesn't remain hungry. You could also surprise him by hiding treats in easy-to-find places all over your house. This would keep your pet happy and occupied in sniffing out these treats.
You could make a puzzle-box for your pet, where you can hide a treat that is his favorite, in the middle of it. The puzzle-box will keep your pet busy for hours, till he actually finds his treat.
Toy Story

Animals love toys, especially those that squeak and make some kind of noise. Buy them some toys and keep them in different corners of the house. This helps a lot, because whenever your pet is snooping around the house trying to find something to play with, he will find the toy and get engrossed playing with it.
Do not get plastic toys, as they may hurt your pet's gums. Instead, buying rubber or rope toys is a better idea. Giving your pet sufficient amount of toys will help in putting a stop to the damage and mess that he might make if left without toys or any sort of entertainment.
Dog Walker

You could hire a dog walker or ask a trusted neighbor or relative to come over twice a day to walk your dog. Your dog might end up feeling saturated sitting in an empty house all day. He needs a change in scenario, and some good exercise too.
Letting your pet out is very important in order to prevent bladder problems. Fresh air and the company of other dogs will cheer him up a lot, and he will learn to be social with other dogs too.

Another reason why letting your dog socialize with other dogs is much-needed, is that it helps in personality development and also makes him less temperamental in the long run.
Bones

Keeping rubber or rawhide bones for your pet to chew on is another very good idea, which definitely works. Your pet would spend hours chewing the bone without getting bored. He would also end up having quite some fun playing with his bone by throwing it the air and catching it, shaking it, barking at it, etc.
There is a large variety of rawhide bones and chew sticks available in different flavors in the market. Some pets enjoy a nice and juicy carrot stick too. Giving your pet something to chew on when you're not around helps in keeping him occupied. He would feel less lonely, and be happily munching and playing for hours at a stretch.
