What you actually need
To care for a pet remotely, you need three things: see them, communicate with them and feed them. There's specific technology for each of these, and you don't need to buy everything at once.
1. Pet camera with two-way audio
A camera with microphone and speaker lets you see your pet in real-time and talk to them through the app. Many models also have automatic alerts when they detect movement or barking.
