“Jaime was very communicative and kind. Kept me up to date on my babies and I felt reassured that they were in good hands. Will definitely hire Jaime again!”
“Kathleen does a great job taking care of my Standard Poodle Cairro. I highly recommend her to anyone who feels guilty about leaving their furry family member at home while they go on vacation... like me! Excellent communication, trustworthy, and reliable”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Lynn was an absolute treasure! Getting daily updates and seeing pictures of my little furballs during my time away was such a treat. This was a last minute booking, and Lynn was very generous with both her time and her flexibility, even coming over to meet my family on a holiday. It was so appreciated. My little gentlemen miss their new friend and they can't wait to see her again soon!”
“Theresa did a great job as always - sent lots of great photos and kept me updated on how my cats are doing. I can relax on vacation when I have Theresa to take care of Lulu, Ziggy, and Mickey!”
“Elizabeth was such an amazing dog sitter! From the meet and greet through the last visit, my dog and I both felt so comfortable with her. She is super friendly, communicative and went the extra mile while we were away. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable and knowledgeable person to watch their fur babies. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Abigail has done a few drop in visits for me now and has seemed to do great with my 2 pups. I love getting a picture of them in the middle of my work day 🥰”
“Brad is the best! He is so good with our dog Gunner. He always makes sure Gunner gets the exercise and attention he needs as an active dog. During his last drop in visit, Brad was sensitive to Gunner’s injured leg and made sure he didn’t over do it. He always communicates clearly and keeps us informed. Very professional and competent. Highly recommend him!”

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I used to have a small farm. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I work part time from home. I can bring your dog out at any time, for walks and I’m available for boarding anytime. Also kids to play with them. I have 3 friendly dogs, cats and kids so your furry babies will have company so they don’t get lonely. They will be loved and well cared for.

Her notes were great and we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend her and will ask for her help again!”
“Sarah is amazing and she is so professional and thorough. She is an amazing communicator and let me know instantly if there are any concerns. My fluffy babies adore her so much. She is the best!”
“Kristen is awesome! She takes such good care of Bodhi, he gets excited when he knows she’s coming. Always at ease and happy when she does her drop in visits. Bodhi and Myself are so lucky to have her!!”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tucker and Ruby! They each have very different personalities, and she handled them both with such care and confidence. I felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her hands — and it was clear they were well cared for and loved. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Nicole again!”
About: I love dogs and my father always had dogs around and I loved to walk them and play with them. I am gentle when I am dealing with a puppy but I am also very playful. I love the outdoors and going on long walks. I would love to become friends with a lot of friendly dogs that would love to become friends with me. I am outgoing and I am very active. I also work at a fast food restaurant at the moment and i am planning on going to Cleveland State University but my hours are very flexible. I got this app because I love interacting with animals especially dogs they are a guys best friend. But I am happy if you choose me to watch and play with you dog. I am currently working part time so if you communicate your needs I can accommodate my schedule for you. I am pregnant so I do have days where I have appointments but they aren’t too long but I will let you know ahead of time when booking with me. I live in an apartment but there is plenty of other places to walk as well as parks around me. Also I can do short car rides if your dog likes that as well.

Kathleen was wonderful with my cat, Tofu! Just needed her to drop in and feed her a couple times a day while I was out of town, and she sent the sweetest pictures and updates from her visits with Tofu. Kathleen is professional and reliable, and I will definitely have her take care of my pet(s) in the future!
Brad is the best! He is so good with our dog Gunner. He always makes sure Gunner gets the exercise and attention he needs as an active dog. During his last drop in visit, Brad was sensitive to Gunner’s injured leg and made sure he didn’t over do it. He always communicates clearly and keeps us informed. Very professional and competent. Highly recommend him!
Jadeyn was great! Super kind and had good communication. She helped us out with lunch time check in’s for the week. She took cute pictures and left thoughtful updates every day showing that she spent quality time with our dog and cat for the full 30 mins. They were happy and calm each day when we got home from work.
We had a fantastic experience with Chelsey! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat Fauna. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while away for the holidays. Fauna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. I appreciate Chelsey’s attention, kindness, and professionalism, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kalamazoo on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 656 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kalamazoo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kalamazoo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kalamazoo. On Rover:
- 98% 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.
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.
