The invention relates to a novel electronic toy ball for pets, including symmetric left and right hemispherical wheel sleeves (1, 19), wherein the left and right hemispherical wheel sleeves (1, 19) are supported by left and right hemispherical brackets (2, 18), respectively. The hemispherical brackets (2, 18) are internally provided with main ball brackets (13). A pair of centrosymmetric actuating units are fixedly arranged on the main ball bracket (13). The actuating unit includes a motor (16), and the motors (16) drive a front main shaft and a rear main shaft to rotate via transmission gears respectively. The front main shaft and the rear main shaft drive the whole toy ball for pets to roll. The steering of the toy ball for pets is controlled by the rotating speed difference and the rotating direction of the front and rear main shafts. A velometer (speedometer) is fixedly arranged near the motor for measuring the rotating speed of the motor. An infrared element and a camera lens are fixedly arranged on the main ball bracket and are exposed out of the ball. A pet master remotely controls the rolling direction and speed of the toy ball for pet via portable electronic equipment and remotely controls the camera lens for shooting videos or images.
