On 12 June 2017, after a successful trial period, Kajzer signed a two-year contract with Bulgarian club Botev Plovdiv. He made his debut in the 2017 Bulgarian Supercup against the champions Ludogorets. The match was decided and won by Botev on penalties, with Kajzer saving the first penalty shot from Marcelinho.[2]

On 29 April, Kajzer saved a penalty in the last minutes of a 2–1 home win over CSKA Sofia.[4] His performance in the game was selected for save of the week.[5]

On 24 April 2019, Botev faced CSKA Sofia in a second leg of the Bulgarian Cup semi-final. The match ended 3–3 at the "Bulgarian Army" stadium and sent Botev to the final. Kajzer was applauded for his efforts, saving a lot of chances in front of his goal and once again being one of Botev's most crucial players.[citation needed]

During his tenure with Botev, he became a notable figure among the club's supporters and the Bultras.[citation needed]
