Nowadays, many people adopt a pet; not for taking care of the house but as a companion. However, many pet owners may not be able to spend time taking care of their pets, especially when they have a business trip. A stay-at-home pet has no, or less, survival skill to look for food outside and could not survive on its own, unlike stray animals. Therefore, usually, pet owners would ask their friends to take care for them; or look for a real-time food dispensing system that can feed the pet at scheduled times with monitoring functions. This paper proposes a monitoring system which comes with an automatic food dispenser, and which comes with several other useful functions to assist the pet owners. The proposed system uses the Raspberry Pi which controls and interconnects with several subsystems such as a (1) real-time monitoring subsystem, (2) door managing subsystem with software support help to ease the burden, and (3) food dispensing system. The wireless food dispensing system allows the owner to feed their pet automatically, according to a schedule or manually, according to the owner’s preference. The real-time monitoring subsystem allows the owner to monitor their pet and check if other stray pets tried to enter the cage through a camera. Finally, the door managing subsystem allows the owner to control the door lock/unlock, thus giving their pet some freedom time. This system proves to be useful to be implemented to reduce the chance of the pets being abandoned.
