Animal Care Professional

Pet care experience

I have 15 years of animal care experience from working as a zookeeper at Chicago land Zoos and wildlife centers. I have also worked as an assistant at an animal hospital. I have worked with a wide variety of animals including but not limited to Primates, marine mammals, birds, reptiles, small native mammals, and of course cats and dogs. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in wildlife management where I hope to further my animal care experience. I also work at a nature center where I care for injured birds of prey and native wildlife. I have also done wildlife rehab and currently own a dog (Briar) and three cats (Deja, Gizmo, and Chloe), and 5 chickens. I am also available as a chicken sitters as well.

Keri is great! Keri has watched our cats several times and she always takes great care of them. Any time we need someone to look after our cats we hope Keri is available since the cats like her and she always does a great job. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter.

We’ve had Keri watch our cat twice now and will definitely use her again in the future! Very reliable and takes great care of our little guy

Keri has watched our two cats three times now, and she is fantastic every single time. Our boys love her, she makes any adjustments we need to their care (like one of our cats needing daily medication this time around) and she lets us know if there’s any change in their usual behavior. Cannot recommend Keri highly enough!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
