Pets need special treatment and special care. Due to busy lifestyles, this task is not as simple as it used to be. The goal of this work is to introduce, design, and implement a smart pet house. The objective is to allow pet owners to automate simple things, like monitoring, lighting, feeding, and air conditioning controls. Implementing smart pet houses will ensure pet owners increased comfort and peace of mind especially when pets are unattended. Features included in the house are a monitoring system, a ventilation system, and an illumination system. The aim of introducing smart technology in the pet house is to achieve more effective, efficient, comfortable, secure, and smart pet management system. Various functions that serve the purpose of the work have been developed and a small prototype has been designed and implemented as a proof of concept.
