“Dominique was AMAZING!! She took such great care of our cat Cookies! She made sure he was fed, fresh water and clean litter. And she took the time to snuggle and play with him on every visit. We loved the daily pictures and updates of him that Dominique shared with us! I highly recommend Dominique.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much, Abigail for all you do! You put my mind at ease, knowing my puppy and my kitty are with someone who take such good care of them. You are the best!”
“Gina did such a great job with taking care of our two cats for a long weekend! She had good emphasis on play and we loved her Rover cards! Our boys were in great spirits when we got home and it’s the best experience we’ve had with check ins on Rover yet!”
“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've cared for my mom's friend's dog, Suki, for a week while she was away on vacation. She was an anxious little princess, but it was absolutely fun getting to know her. I genuinely love playing with dogs and getting to know how they tick, even if I'm not as experienced with them as cats. I work part-time at Kalamazoo Valley Museum, so I will be available after 4:15pm most days of the week. I have Wednesday mornings off so I will most likely be able to drop in earlier or for the whole day if needed. The museum is also closed on Mondays, but this is normally when I volunteer at Kzoo Cat Cafe so I'm generally busy until about 4:15 anyway. If your pets are uneasy around strangers, I do my best to give them as much space as possible while still maintaining their routine. It's my belief that you cannot force a pet to tolerate a stranger without putting them through ample amounts of stress, so all you can do as a stranger is "exist" safely around them until they build up comfort.

About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too!

I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.
“Gabby is a fantastic sitter, my boy Deke is always shy when he meets new people but immediately took to Gabby which goes to show how amazing she is with animals. She has timely communication and gives my deke all the love and play during her visit! It’s such a weight off my shoulders knowing Gabby is stopping in to spend time with him!”
“Camryn was very communicative and really went the extra mile as we have a new puppy who needed a lot of extra care and attention alongside our grown dog. Looking forward to leveraging her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others!”
“Emily did multiple drop in visits while we were out of town to feed our cat. She followed all of the instructions I left for her and always communicated with me, and sent photos when our cat allowed it!”

Lynn went over and beyond with her drop-in visits with our cats! She was great with communication: she checked in every day with notes about how the visit went and had daily photos of our fur-babies for me to see. She's incredibly patient and understanding, even with an unexpected surprise that happened during one visit, and it made our trip that much more enjoyable knowing that our cats were in her care. Thank you, Lynn!
Amanda did a wonderful job with our 3 dogs. All 3 can be quite difficult at times so we gave her specific instructions and everything went smoothly. She even got there early for one drop in and spent extra time with them. She share pictures and notes from each visit.
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!
We couldn't be happier with the care provided for our elderly cat, Khan. We were in a bit of a stressful situation — our original pet sitter fell through at the last minute, and we found ourselves scrambling to find someone reliable on short notice. Reed & Natalie really came through for us. Natalie quickly arranged a meet & greet to get acquainted with Khan and helped put us at ease. That first impression proved well-founded. Khan is a cranky little lady who does not warm up to strangers easily, but the visits went wonderfully, and it was clear that real patience and care went into each one. What really stood out was the dedication and reliability. The daily visits required a significant drive, which is no small ask given how painful fuel costs have gotten lately — and that never seemed to be an issue. Even some unexpected car trouble didn't get in the way of the visits. That level of commitment is rare and did not go unnoticed. Knowing Khan was in good hands while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Reed & Natalie.
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 of Pet Sitting in Kalamazoo is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 642 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kalamazoo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
