abstract = "Nowadays, factors such as aging from one side and declining birthrate on the other side in addition to modern workforce and change in social structure has strong impact on relationships in the society. As one result of the above factors many people prefer to own a pet as a companion. However, due to the busy work schedule for most of the pet owners and not being able to share the caring task with others, paying full time attention to the pet is almost impossible. To solve the mentioned problem, we aimed to develop intelligent and interactive system to bridge the gap between the pet and the pet owner. This research is based on the concept of the Internet of Things by using Linux operating system and Raspberry Pi board as development platform. The proposed system provides a smart phone application to the pet owner that can make real-time communication with the pet using internet. As an input module the owner can use the vision module of the system to have a view of his/her pet and as an output module can control the servo motors of the wearable device on the pet for feeding. In future, we hope this system can be improved and used by pet owners for real-time interaction with their pets from distance where they can be in the same location physically.",
