Keeper - definition?

I would like to know if the word "Keeper" means ONLY a person who looks after a place/thing or can it also mean a person who helds/posseses/keeps something (from the word - "keep"). I know we can also have other definitions like: zookeeper but we must put a specyfic heading. Always?

Yes, there is another definition, as in "That's a keeper" or "He's a keeper" meaning something very special that is worth keeping. It may be local usage, but it is a very common term where I live.
