“Amanda has been amazing with my very shy and timid dog, who typically doesn’t do well with strangers. I love the reports I get and it gives me great peace of mind knowing my puppy is in good hands!”

“Highly recommend Rachel! She was extremely flexible with some last minute changes on my end and was communicative early about when she was not available. My timid dog warmed up to her right away and Rachel did amazing at keeping goodbyes short to mininize her separation anxiety. I received plenty of photos/videos/updates and felt confident leaving Summer in her care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I used to assist my mom in breeding and have been pet sitting for family and friends for many years. I currently have a bulldog of my own and a leopard gecko. I work full time but I have my own dog so I can easily make sure our furry friends are well taken care of and looked after when your away! I can easily follow whatever your furry friends schedule is, whether it’s putting them in a crate to keep them safe and secure or making sure they are safe roaming through the house while your away!

About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.

About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets and small pets. Aggressive, anxious, timid, reactive, and generally difficult pets are my specialty. I can keep up with high energy/athletic pets, and care for disabled pets. I can pass meds, teach a few commands, and give you updates on how your pets are doing. Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for many years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with care and respect like they’re my own. I’m flexible with my schedule and able to make time throughout the week for pet care, walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m reliable about routines and communication, and I always try to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, behavior, and safety during walks or visits. I respect clients’ homes, keep things clean, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care so owners can feel confident while they’re away.

About: I have been around dogs and other animals my entire life! I have experience with puppies and dogs of every size! I have dog sat for many people in the past, and I always treat them like my own little family members. I work at a public school, so my typical work schedule is from 7-3:15 Monday-Friday. During the weekends, I am able to dedicate more time for your pet if needed! I am a visual person, and I thrive off of written instructions! My favorite part of petsitting is getting to know each pet and their individual quirks and routines. I’m happy to lounge on the couch or go on many walks throughout the day, depending on what your pets are used to. :)

About: There have been several points in my life where my mother or my father have owned more that one of a certain animal at once. I’ve grown up around dogs with my mother, namely pit-bulls and schnauzers, and my father currently owns 9 cats. Since I was the one who wanted a lot of these animals (besides the cats those were all my fathers doing) I took care of them! If we were to branch out to animals beyond cats and dogs that i’ve taken care of, I’ve owned rats, I take care of a fish pond at a frequent clients house, and I’ve looked after tarantula’s. I am a veterinary assistant student at the Ross Medical school right now so I go to school from 8:30-2:15 and have a mid-day break at 11-12. I can do drop in’s before and after my school hours and during my mid-day break, if i’m staying at your house I will make the journey back to check in on your animals during my lunch :) I follow directions given to me when I stay in peoples homes very closely. I’m an artist aside from my schooling and often pick places to doodle around your animal.

About: I have over eight years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra TLC, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal's unique needs. I’m also experienced in administering oral and topical medications safely and confidently. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a professional dog bather for a year, which gave me hands on experience handling dogs in high energy environments. I also worked at The Pack as a dog care specialist, where I supported dogs in group play, monitored behavior, and ensured their safety and well-being throughout the day. Whether it's daily walks, cuddle time, or more specialized care, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals to every visit! I work full-time, but my shifts are typically 5–8 hours a day, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care before and/or after work. I’m available for morning, evening, and some midday visits depending on the day. On my days off, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. When caring for your pets, I treat their space with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress free in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, making sure doors and gates are secure, and monitoring for any signs of stress or illness. Building trust with both pets and their people is incredibly important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously. I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel reassured and connected while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands!

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet owner with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work 8-5pm M-F at y full time job, but I am available before and after those times as well as on the weekends. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean and safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular walks or playtime. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will provide updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.

About: If I could pick one thing that seperates me from other walkers/sitters, it would be that I genuinely have a strong passion and connection to animals. I know all the DO'S and DON'TS when it comes to taking care of a pet. I have a dog of my own and I love and care for him like he's my child. I know not to give him chocolate, grapes, raisins and to keep him away from hazards like antifreeze, oil spills, dead animals, trash, poisons and other dogs feces. I'm also very aware when it comes to the details of an animals behavior and partake in fast acting solutions when it comes to avoiding conflict between them. I could say with a full heart that your pet would be comfortable, feel loved and safe under my care. :) I currently am available anytime for drop-ins and/or walks M-F and have full availability on weekends unless I have otherwise marked "not available" on my availability calender. :) At this moment, I am not currently available for overnight house/pet sitting, but I'm here for the rest! I normally take the pet/pets outside to go potty first thing, give treats, give attention, give love, feed, distribute supplements/medication if needed, fill water, play with toys, take photos for my client, walk, pick up doggy poo, scoop/change the litter box and clean up any messes that are made while the client is away.

Dominique was absolutely wonderful with our dog while we were away in Italy for two weeks! From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, reliable, and kind. Every day, she would text me to let me know she was on her way, and after each walk she sent pictures and an update, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were across the world. It was so obvious from the pictures and updates how happy and comfortable our dog was with her. She was incredibly patient, loving, and affectionate with him, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about him and enjoyed spending time with him. We couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for him while we were away. Dominique was dependable, thoughtful, and truly wonderful with our dog. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be asking her to walk him again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Kalamazoo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Kalamazoo is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 606 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kalamazoo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Kalamazoo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kalamazoo after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kalamazoo. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
