I lifted up the hood, looked around and became a little sad...where's the trans dipstick?

Please tell me at the least I can buy a dipstick bc the tube is there for mechanics to check.

Also, I didn't see a service interval for trans fluid. Did I miss it?

The Jeep Cherokee KL transmission does not have a dipstick from the factory, as it's considered a sealed unit. FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) doesn't recommend owners tamper with it. There is no specified maintenance interval for the transmission fluid under normal use. However, heavy-duty use (towing, off-roading) might necessitate a fluid change performed by a dealer. Some export models (e.g., Australia) have a 100,000 km fluid change interval. While officially considered "lifetime" fluid, some owners recommend changing it around 100,000 miles or after 10 years, especially with towing.
