According to experts you need to start preparing your pets NOW to get them used to you going back to work.
Here are some ways to help
-
Leave the house more frequency to get them used to being alone. Aim to be out between 30 minutes to an Hour to “desensitize” them.
-
Try getting up at a regular time, feeding and exercising them at the same time to build the routine back
-
Make sure they get exercise before you leave for work, if you get them tired they will be ready for a nap
-
(If Possible) Dropping by on your lunch break can be helpful, or having a friend or neighbour to check in on them
