Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin know that pets make everything better.
The Home Editfounders have teamed up with CESAR Canine Cuisine to make the world more dog-friendly, starting with the workspace. The professional organizers speak from the heart — Shearer, 40, owns a cockapoo named Indie and a dachshund/Italian greyhound mix named Emmett, while Teplin, 42, has a mini Bernedoodle called Mabel.
“We love having our dogs at work with us, and we love that Cesar understands that benefit,” Shearer says, adding that the pet food brand hastipsfor curating a pet-friendly space.
TheGet Organized with the Home Editstars also shared some of their favorite hacks for making a workspace more pet-friendly with PEOPLE.
Whether you’re working remotely or in the office with your dog in tow, Shearer says thatclear binsare a must for organizing your pet’s space.
“We love a zone! If you watch the show, read the books, you know we love a zone, and we treat the pets no differently,” Teplin says.
To start your pet-friendly work area, Shearer suggests designating a basket or cart as a one-stop spot for your pup’s daily essentials, like collars and leashes. From there, place a pet mess cleanup kit somewhere discrete in the same area.
“Dogs do have accidents occasionally, so having a caddy with all your cleaning supplies, rags, and sprays underneath the sink, or someplace tucked away, is a great way to keep from your place devolving into pet wasteland,” Shearer says.

“It sort of combines everything for us about wellness, mental health, organization,” Teplin says of The Home Edit House’s pet-friendly policy, which helps bring dogs' “positive” energy to busy days at the headquarters.
On a personal note, Shearer says having her pets close during the workday makes all the difference.
Shearer and Teplin agree that there’s one forgotten nook in the home that every pet parent should immediately declutter — the toy corner!
