14 Ways Your Dogs Can Help You with the Chores

For Dog People
By Hannah Gilman

Most of us have dogs that create messes (but we love them anyway). Some of us are ever-so-slightly more fortunate and have dogs that like to clean ’em up. Or, at least they like to try. Pretending to be a mop counts for something, right?

Mop Dogs

“LOL, we really fooled you! We’re not mops—we’re Pulis!”

Clean Up, Clean Up…

Great, now we have that “Barney” song stuck in our heads. “Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere. Clean up, clean up, everybody do your share…”

Paranormal Activity

We’re starting to think maybe he should be cleaning for something else. Like evil spirits.

This poodle is very French. “Be our guest! Be our guest! Put our service to the test…”

SURPRISE, I’m not a Mop!

Definitely not a mop. Though the caution sign could have fooled us.

Vroom, Vroom

Just bustin’ dust. NBD.

Vacuuming scares us, too. But we could probably get into it if all we had to do was sit on a little robot ride. Keep on keepin’ on, Boston terrier.

As much as we appreciate the sentiment, there’s something very unsanitary about having your dog do the dishes. We’ve all seen the places those tongues wind up.

So Fresh, So Clean

The oh-so-slippery floor, the thrill of chasing the ever-elusive blue mop strips—really, what’s not to love about chores?

10-Second Tidy

Aaand the “Barney” song has been replaced with “The Big Comfy Couch” flashbacks.

This guy does it all. Swiffering…

AND vacuuming. Dream dog much?

We’re pretty sure half these dogs have been seriously inspired by lots and lots of treats and belly rubs. But hey, at least the carpets look good. Now it’s time to put your dog to work!


Travel plans? Next time you leave town, find a dog sitter who’ll treat your dog like family. Rover’s got you covered with loving dog sitters across the U.S. including Orlando, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Oakland, and your city.
