Pawsitive Vibes Canine Retreat

PRIVATE 1-FAMILY-AT-A-TIME BOARDING FOR ADULTS DOGS WHO THRIVE WITH PERSONALIZED ATTENTION. Hi I’m Yesi, a lifelong animal lover, and Zeus is my gentle giant sidekick! I’ve been dog sitting independently since 2016 and started using Rover when I discovered it in 2022 to expand my network. Dog sitting gives Zeus and I the chance to enjoy temporary playmates, and it gives me the opportunity to care for other pets in the same way I hope someone would care for him. I love to travel, so I know firsthand how important it is to leave your dog with someone who genuinely pays attention to their routine, comfort, personality, and little quirks. When Zeus stays with someone, I want to know he’s getting real care and attention not just being another dog in the house and that’s exactly the experience I try to provide for my own furry guests. Because of that, I currently board only one dog at a time. This allows me to give each guest more individualized attention, go on walks, keep the environment calm, and make sure both they and Zeus are comfortable throughout the stay. In addition to dogs, I’ve cared for cats, raised bunnies and chickens, and even had a pet parrot, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of animals and personalities. While I welcome most breeds, I’m no longer able to board German Shepherds in my home due to previous compatibility issues with Zeus, or small male dogs that are prone to marking indoors. I’m still happy to care for them through drop-in visits or house sitting when appropriate. My priority is always maintaining a clean, calm, and safe environment for everyone. I also prefer to hold meet & greets at my home before new boarding bookings so we can make sure the dogs are compatible and you can see exactly where your companion will be staying. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and play. Zeus, my Great Pyrenees, is used to sharing his space with other dogs. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs or dogs who need quiet time away from the action. I keep the environment calm and structured so dogs have a chance to settle in instead of being overstimulated. I pay attention to each dog’s comfort level, behavior, and routine, and I never force interactions. My priority is keeping everyone safe and making sure your dog feels comfortable in my home.

Yesenia was super easy to work with, we are very particular about the care of our dog and she met for a meet and greet with her dog and continually updated with pictures and videos throughout the day putting us at ease. She was very flexible with our every changing schedule and we really appreciate it!

Yesenia was AWESOME! Very attentive to Buddy, giving him walks and pets. She sent me videos and pictures of Buddy having a good time. He got along great with Zeus. 10/10

Yesenia is a sweet pet sitter who genuinely wants your fur baby to enjoy their stay-cation. Daily updates & videos let the owner know how much fun they're having with their new friends! Fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone.

Boarded our two dogs for 5 days and they had an amazing time! She had other dogs there at the same time and they all got along, played so well, and got so much exercise and love. Highly recommend if you are looking for a sitter!! 10/10 experience, she sent photos and updates everyday, gave them plenty of love and treats! Will be boarding with her again!

Our boy Monty is just 2 years old and he was very upset to see us go. Yesenia was able to come in and overcome his anxiety and they became good friends. She was very accommodating to his needs and played ball till Monty gave up. We could not have asked for more. I highly recommend Rover and especially Yesenia. 👍🏻❤️😎

Schedule

Zeus never misses his walks, so we usually start our mornings with one and wind down the evening with another. Your dog is welcome to join us! If they’re not much of a walker, that’s completely fine too. We have a fully fenced yard where they can potty, explore, and spend time outside at their own pace. My schedule is flexible, and since I work from home, I’m able to be home full-time when I have a dog staying with me. Over the years, I’ve come to really value a quieter, more personal boarding experience, so I now only accept one guest dog at a time. That allows me to focus on their individual routine, give them plenty of attention, and avoid juggling multiple households or a house full of dogs. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on them, let them out regularly, spend time with them, and stick as closely as possible to what they’re used to at home.

I would love to know about any behavioral, medical, or mobility concerns your pet may have before their stay, including separation anxiety, food aggression, digging, territorial marking, incontinence, difficulty standing or walking, confusion, or anything else that may affect their care. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can prepare and make sure my home is a safe and comfortable fit for everyone. I do have experience administering medication and caring for senior dogs, and I’m happy to accommodate reasonable age related needs. However, I’m not equipped to provide hospice level or intensive geriatric care for dogs who are non ambulatory, require frequent lifting or physical assistance to stand or potty, cannot eat or eliminate independently, need constant monitoring, or have advanced medical or cognitive needs that would be better managed in a veterinary or specialized care setting. I really appreciate complete transparency about your pet’s condition and normal daily routine so there are no surprises after drop off and I can confidently provide the level of care your pet deserves.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
