Aside from all the suggestions that have been made, two more: a robot vacuum and if you have hard floors, an electric mop.
I'm in TX. We have six dogs (mostly pits) who are indoor-outdoor at will. Their yard is half a fenced, wooded acre. From the beginning of October to the middle of January it rained torrents every other day. Onto clay that is well beyond absorbing more water. We're at the top of a hill and there are still ponds of water. And the amount of (thankfully, gray not red) clay six active dogs will bring into the house in a day....well, I think it topped out at about 2 cups. They'd come in with virtual platform shoes of clay on their feet. And the dust..OMG the dust. As fine as photocopier toner.
Especially as I'm what the Brits call "house proud" (and former OCD cleaner), I was about at my wits' end until I bought the two aforementioned gadgets. The deebot runs 4x a day, and I now only mop every 3-4 days.
It's like I got my house back. Now the dogs are nothing but fun for me.
Okay,the gadgets:

Note that the mop (which I got in cordless form, new on ebay for $125) is not a steam mop; instead, it squirts cleaner on the floor and then immediately vacuums it up, like a carpet cleaner does. Best thing since wi-fi, I swear.
You can also get velcro belly-bands for males who mark, and having raised a foster litter of pups, I strongly recommend Odoban. Only thing I know that actually gets the stink out of absolutely everything.
Borrow, rent, or buy this or similar: https://www.amazon.com/Hoover-FloorMate-Deluxe-Cleaner-FH40160PC/dp/B00CM220CK/ref=sr_1_2/142-4905669-3512949?ie=UTF8&qid=1510108923&sr=8-2&keywords=floor+scrubbers&dpID=31ho56bgjvL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch Make sure it applys the cleaning water, scrubs, then vacuums and sequesters the dirty water.
I don't have much tile but a lot of hardwood floors. I recently bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Hoover-FloorMate-Deluxe-Cleaner-FH40160PC/dp/B00CM220CK/
It works very well. Brushes do the work and the vacuum sucks up most of the water. Keeps you from breaking your back with a mop.
