“This was our second time using Brad and just like the first time he did not disappoint. He sent plenty of photos and videos and kept us up to date while we were away. Brad is very reliable and we will use him again.”
“Abigail is amazing she took fantastic care of my bulldog and cat over our four day long getaway. Highly recommend and we will be using again when she’s available. You couldn’t ask for someone more reliable and great with communication and sending updates with pictures of your fur babies.”
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I would be honored to provide peace of mind, knowing your home &/or pets are safe and cared for, while you are away, during the day or longer. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, doggy daycare, boarding and house sitting. Additionally, I have experience taking care of my parent's diabetic cat, when they went out of town, which included giving him insulin shots twice a day, so I am comfortable with some medical needs' animals. My cat, Penny, is technically a senior cat, and she remains very healthy and happy! I also have experience taking care of my friends' senior dogs overnight when her and her family went out of town. As well as my own senior dog, Bentley, who has passed away. It has been a few years, but my heart is still too broken to think about welcoming a dog into my home for forever, but I so miss having a dog's company, so, temporary will have to do for now! I know just how much I loved my dog and wanted to protect him and keep him happy & healthy as long as possible, and I promise to treat your pets the same. I was also the proud owner of 4 chickens when I lived in Florida. They were the greatest entertainment! By the time I moved to Michigan, there was sadly only one remaining chicken, I didn't want to confuse her with the weather change, so of course she became a house chicken. She got to live her last two years living inside the house, cozy as can be, with me, my dog & cat. We all loved it! Long story short, I'm also available for some farm animal sitting. I promise to keep them out of your house! Unless... I would love to chat with you about your pets and your situation, and see if I can be of any assistance to you! Thank you so much! Talk soon! I would really love for pet care to become my full time work, and at this time I have open availability, in order to achieve that. I have a fully fenced yard and no off-limit spaces in my home, your pets will be treated as my own, while in my care!
“Jamie was great and very easy to work with. She was on time and clearly got along with Zelda and was communicative throughout the booking process and during the day where she dog-sat. Zelda was in a good mood when I got home and clearly enjoyed the company.”
“I was very happy with the job Rachel did for me when she came to my home and pet set for Flash. She left the house in great condition and took excellent of him. She was there for 6 days.”
“Dwayne wasn’t a stranger after long. I only ever left my labs with friends, family or the trainer. After moving across the country I needed to find the new family friend for my fur monsters. Dwayne asked great questions got comfortable and took amazing day and overnight care of my dogs. Super communicative and kept me updated while I was out of town. Happy to have found him for my doggy support.”
“Anissa did an excellent job of caring for our pets in our home while we were on vacation. I felt confident that our pets were given lots of attention and probably hardly missed us while we were gone. She followed all instructions I gave her for feeding and exercising everyone plus miscellaneous things that had to be done like bring in mail, etc. I highly recommend Anissa - you won’t be sorry!”
“This is the second time I have asked Kat to stay with my dog Zuzu. This time I was out of town for 10 days and *every day* Kat sent videos and pictures. She went above and beyond by sending pictures of bath time. One day, my dog had given herself a little hot spot and Kat informed me right away and sent a picture of the wound. Of course, Kat knew how to treat the wound and it healed up in a few days. Kat is so wonderful and she really knows her stuff! Also, she left my house completely spotless!”
“Christi was amazing! She loved on our golden so well and was extremely communicative, giving us daily updates along with pictures. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Emma was fun, loving, and attentive. My dogs and cats were really comfortable with her. We were happy she could stay at our house and comfort our babies through a big blizzard.”

“Leah took great care of our dog on her, four night stay. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures and even took our trash bins up to the house and mail inside. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Kierra did a great job of communicating with me and sending photos during the four days I was gone. So much better than Zulily boarding in a kennel and I will definitely have her back again! She also left the house clean and neat like I left it.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kalamazoo
We had a wonderful experience! She was professional, reliable, and took such great care of both our home and our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands while we were away. She treated our house and our pups like they were her own, and we came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a home that was just as we left it. We would absolutely trust her to care for them again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!
Katina is amazing! My dog absolutely loved her, and I felt so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of while I was away. She was great about communicating and sending updates, and she even went above and beyond to make sure my house was clean and tidy when I arrived home. I’ve already rebooked with her for my next trip! ❣️
Cameron did a great job house sitting and taking care of our dogs over a long weekend. He communicated well throughout our trip and sent regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were well cared for, and when we returned home, everything was clean and in order. We really appreciated his reliability and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter.
Kristina was amazing! She accepted my last minute booking and was great at communicating-sending me photos and keeping me updated on how Ferrari was doing. She took great care of my dog and was sensitive about her needs as a rescue during the 4th of July. I definitely recommend booking with Kristina :)
Amie cared for our cat & dog & stayed at our home for over 3 weeks. She was very conscientious and sensitive to their needs. She gave them lots of love & quickly bonded with them. I got daily updates with photos that I deeply appreciated. She cared for them & our house as if they were her own. She walked my dog daily & I had no worries about them at all. I highly recommend Amie as a loving professional caregiver! She’s a gem

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kalamazoo on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 369 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kalamazoo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kalamazoo walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kalamazoo maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kalamazoo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 sitter 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kalamazoo. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
