Small-Medium Dog Focus

Hi there! I'm Alex.

I began dog sitting through Rover over 10 years ago, and the experience has brought endless love, laughter, and silly cuteness into my life ever since.

Today, I’ve moved beyond the one-off bookings of Rover and built a small community of pups I know, love, and consider family. 

That’s the heart of PupCare—consistent care, familiar faces, and a home-away-from-home your dog can look forward to returning to. 

Trusted by Chicago Dog Owners

Timothy & Freddie

Alex is amazing! She’s in love with dogs, and my dog has never been better cared for. Where he used to be anxious and an emotional mess when I picked him up from the ‘dog hotel,’ now he’s relaxed, happy, and clearly not stressed at all. Freddie clearly loves her so much. Book with Alex!

Eric & Banjo

Alex is absolutely the best dog sitter I’ve ever found. She’s kind, caring, easygoing, knowledgeable, and communicative; she’s legitimately the only person I feel I can leave Banjo with and not have a single worry in my mind. Which is a wonderful comfort when I’m traveling. 10/10 would recommend!

Jose & Nala

Alexandra has been an incredible sitter for Nala over the past few years. She’s attentive, reliable, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs. I appreciate the regular photo updates, knowing Nala is happy and well cared for. Alex goes above and beyond, and I trust her completely. I couldn’t recommend her more!
