This study introduces the Intelligent Kennel System. The prototype replaces traditional kennels by offering a convenient, and remotely accessible solution for both dogs and their owners. Key features include an automated dispensers with customizable schedules ensure consistent and convenient feeding and watering, even during power outages and internet disconnection. A servo motor functions as the automatic switch, controlling the opening and closing of both compartments. An ultrasonic level sensor continuously monitors remaining quantities within the respective compartments. The system maintains a precise volume of remaining resources and triggers timely notifications upon depletion. Temperature sensors maintain optimal comfort levels within the kennel. A relay ensures effective temperature control by activating the cooling fan upon receiving the appropriate
signal. The camera module allows live video of the pet within the kennel. Lastly a user- friendly mobile application allows for real-time monitoring and controlling. Extensive
testing has confirmed the functionality, reliability, and adaptability across hardware and software platforms. Feeding schedules were executed reliably, with average response times between 2.07 and 3.33 seconds. Mobile app control varied slightly based on device and Android version but remained quick around 2.2 seconds. Newer devices with faster processors displayed faster response times. The automatic temperature control system efficiently maintained desired temperatures while minimizing fan usage. Live feed camera latency was lower on newer devices and Android versions, displaying the feed within 2 seconds compared to 3-5 seconds of the older devices. Prototyping evaluations yielded highly positive results, receiving "Very Acceptable" with numeric rating of 4.47 classifications for functionality, aesthetic, workability, durability, economy, and safety. The prototype represents a significant advancement in dog care, seamlessly integrating smart technology to blend pet ownership and the evolving landscape of innovation.
