Description

Dogs are often left at home by themselves during the day when most go to work or to school. This leaves a huge gap in the caring of dogs and this is further exacerbated by their perception of time. As their lifespans are much shorter compared to us, a day feels much longer to them, thus they can feel more lonely. Owners may also often worry about the well-being and safety of the dog when their dogs are alone at home, and the Doggo Monitoring Subsystem aims to provide them with peace of mind at all times regarding their dog’s mental and physical well-being.

We also note the current trend of working from home, which means owners are more often at home. They might be nearer to the dogs physically, but the responsibilities of work have not changed and they are still required to focus on their work during office hours.

They can thus delegate the dog care needs to the doggo care system without diverting their attention away from work and possibly even be able to physically isolate themselves from their pet. This also applies to when the owners go out for extended periods of time for events such as vacation.
