As of November 2026, pet care robots are mostly small, playful machines that keep a dog or cat busy while you are out. Ball launchers throw tennis balls for dogs that bring them back, rolling balls wake up and dart around when touched, and camera robots let you watch, talk and play from your phone. Prices run from about $30 for a Cheerble ball to about $130 for a PetSafe launcher. Match the toy to your pet's size, check your floors, and supervise heavy chewers. How we score.
