You can hide an unsightly litter box in plain sight, by adding a pet-accessible area to a regular storage cupboard. Just because you’ve got a closet full of pet supplies, doesn’t mean it has to look like it’s gone to the dogs. (See how they did it here)

If you’re starting every walk with a hunt for the leash, you need a leash organizer. Hang a coat rack near your door, or, for added organizing motivation, add a special pet-themed leash rack. You can even add a cute plaque or label marking your pet’s name below his leash. (Here’s how!)
