Care Activities
Master the different ways to interact with your GOCHI pet and maximize your rewards
Your daily interactions with your GOCHI pet are the heart of the game experience. Each activity you perform not only maintains your pet’s wellbeing but also shapes its personality and determines your earning potential.
Feeding
Addresses hunger needs and provides the foundation for all other stats. With hunger accounting for 40% of your care quality score, feeding should always be your top priority.
Playing
Boosts happiness and creates stronger bonds with your pet. Different play activities consume varying amounts of energy while providing unique happiness benefits.
Cleaning
Maintains hygiene and prevents health issues. Regular cleaning prevents happiness penalties that occur when cleanliness drops too low.

Sleep Mode
When you can’t actively care for your pet for extended periods, Sleep Mode is essential for maintaining stats and protecting earnings.
Activation Benefits
- Reduces all stat decay rates by 70%
- Remains active for 6-8 hours
- Preserves minimum earning rate during inactivity
- Provides small happiness boost when pet wakes up
Usage Guidelines
- Activate before going to bed
- Use before meetings or classes lasting 3+ hours
- Always enable before any expected period of unavailability
- Ensure all stats are high before activation for best results
Critical Sleep Mode Practice
Always enable Sleep Mode before extended absences! The 70% reduction in decay rates can mean the difference between returning to a happy pet or a critically neglected one.
For optimal results, perform a complete care cycle (feed, play, clean) immediately before activating Sleep Mode.
Optimal Care Combinations
Certain activity combinations provide synergistic benefits that maximize your care efficiency:
| Combination | Activities | Benefits | Best Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete Care | Feed → Play → Clean | Addresses all stats in optimal order | Morning and evening routines |
| Quick Recovery | Premium Food → Basic Brushing | Fast recovery from neglect | After extended absence |
| Energy Boost | Catnip Treats → Laser Pointer | Maximizes playtime potential | When happiness is priority |
| Overnight Prep | Fish → Luxury Bath → Sleep Mode | Optimal preparation for overnight | Before bed |
The order of activities matters! For maximum effectiveness, address hunger first, then engage in play activities, and finish with cleaning.
