Pet Mess Solution: DIY Dog Bowl Mat + Roborock QrevoCurv Review
This post is sponsored by Roborock.
I love my dog Feta, but let’s be real—she’s a bit of a messy drinker. There’s always a little puddle around her water bowl, no matter what I do! Instead of letting it drive me crazy, I decided to have some fun with a quick DIY project to keep the mess in check. And while I was at it, I discovered a game-changer for my whole cleaning routine—the Roborock QrevoCurv. This robot vac not only keeps my floors spotless but blends right in with my home’s décor, making it a win-win!
Let me walk you through my little DIY project and how the Roborock QrevoCurv made my life so much easier.

DIY Dog Bowl Mat
First things first, let’s tackle Feta’s messy drinking area. To keep her splashes under control, I created a custom dog bowl mat using a few basic supplies I had at home. Here's how you can do it too:
What you’ll need:
- A placemat (any basic one will do!)
- Cardboard (I used the cardboard from my Roborock packaging)
- Spray adhesive
- Scrap fabric (I repurposed some fabric from my dining room cushions)
- Anti-slip rug pad
- Scotchgard (optional, but highly recommended for durability)
Step-by-step guide:
Step One: Cut the Base: First, I took the placemat and the cardboard, stacked them together, and cut them into the shape I wanted. This will serve as the base for the dog bowl mat, making it sturdy and easy to clean.
Step Two: Secure the Layers: After cutting, I used spray adhesive to glue the cardboard and the placemat together. This makes the mat extra durable and gives it some weight so it doesn’t slide around.
Step Three: Add Fabric: Next, I took some scrap fabric I had lying around and covered the whole mat. You can use any fabric you like—this is where you can get creative and make it match your home’s style.
Step Four: Anti-Slip Protection: To make sure the mat stays in place, I attached an anti-slip rug pad to the bottom. This is especially important if you have a pet who’s a little, well, energetic while eating and drinking.
Step Five: Protect It: Finally, I sprayed the entire mat with Scotchgard to protect the fabric from water and stains. Now, not only is it functional, but it also looks great!
And just like that, for only a couple of dollars, I created an aesthetically pleasing and practical mat to contain Feta’s mess.
Meet My Cleaning Secret: The Roborock QrevoCurv
Now, as much as I love my DIY projects, let’s talk about something that truly transformed my cleaning routine—the Roborock QrevoCurv. This robot vacuum and mop duo handles everything, from pet hair to dirty floors, all at the touch of a button.
Here’s why I’m obsessed with it:
- Dual Anti-Tangle System: If you have pets, you know how frustrating it is when vacuums get tangled with fur. Not with the QrevoCurv! It has a Duo Divide main brush and a Flexi Arm Arc side brush that handle long hair, pet hair, and even the tiniest debris—completely tangle-free.
- Obstacle Navigation: I never have to worry about Feta getting in the way. The QrevoCurv has smart sensors that stop the vacuum whenever it detects pets or other obstacles, like toys or furniture. It even gently moves away so it won’t startle your furry friend.
- Quiet Cleaning: Feta can nap in peace because the QrevoCurv reduces mopping noise to a super low 55 decibels. It’s quiet enough not to disturb her but powerful enough to deep clean my floors.
- AdaptLift Chassis: Whether I’m dealing with hardwood, tiles, or carpet, this robot handles it all. It smoothly transitions between floor types and even lifts itself to navigate obstacles or clean deeper into mid-pile carpets. No more worrying about clogs!
- Hands-Free Maintenance: The best part? Once the robot finishes its job, it returns to the dock, auto-empties the dustbin, washes and dries the mop with hot water, and refills the water tank. Talk about low maintenance!
And when I want to check in on Feta while the robot’s cleaning, I can use the Roborock app for peace of mind. It really does it all!
Final Thoughts
I’m spending less time cleaning and more time with Feta, thanks to my Roborock QrevoCurv. Between my DIY mat and this powerful vacuum, I feel like I’ve conquered the pet mess struggle once and for all. If you’re looking for a stylish and effective cleaning solution, the QrevoCurv is a must-have.
Thanks to Roborock for sponsoring this project—Feta says thanks too!
