To pets, their owners are their whole world. They would do anything to be with their humans every second of every day and when they aren't together, they're crushed.

One user suggested the trio may be waiting for the coast to be clear get into shenanigans. As one viewer said: "Plot twist they're just waiting on you to go so they can get on with their weekly block party. That's why they're looking back at the house...still lots to do."

The good news for the pets in this video is that she works from home so they aren't left home alone for too long. But not every fur baby is as lucky. Many parents are forced into the office and no amount of puppy dog eyes can keep them from calling in sick.
There are several methods to try if you wish to keep your pets occupied while you're gone. Dog owners might give their fur babies enrichment-based or challenging toys such as kongs to keep them busy. Others might turn to treat dispensers that can be controlled remotely.
For cats, consider adding a bird feeder outside a window so they can watch visitors come and go. You might want to keep the TV sound on as well to comfort your pets. And if you feel like you need more for your pets, look into having a sitter come in to check on your pets.
