Provided are mechanisms and processes for more effectively monitoring pets to enhance caregiving and pet development. In one example, a system includes a pet monitoring device having a plurality of sensors that gather measurement data, such as motion and arousal, from a pet. The system also includes a monitoring hub that receives the measurement data from the pet monitoring device and analyzes the measurement data in relation to a learning receptivity model obtained from a remote platform. The measurement data is analyzed to predict a time and duration when a pet associated with the pet monitoring device will be receptive to learning.
