Potty Break for dogs (can consist of a walk) Feed/Treats Refill water dishes Play time Snuggle time Petting time Clean any messes/litter box/cages Administer Medications . The purpose is to keep the pet in its regular routine. So, if the dog normally gets a treat when it wakes up, I would give a treat when I arrive in the a.m. If the pet normally takes a walk around the block daily, I would do the same.
