Beautiful morning for a walk at Lake Travis.

People who enter the water do so at their own risk, but there are tips to keep pets safe.

The pet parents said they thought their dogs were being housed in a room in the sitter's home but were actually in a shed in the backyard when the air conditioning stopped working.

Parents! Rover is not professional pet sitters. They are people wanting to make extra money. Always vet a sitter and never drop dogs off at someone’s house without visiting and checking references. Your dogs are safest at their own house.

Why I love chihuahuas.

We have loved our time caring for the best two dogs for almost 3 weeks while their parents enjoyed their European vacation. They will be excited to see them tomorrow. Nathan and Sylvia are so sweet. They get excited every time we visit. Mario does all the visits and I come along sometimes to love on the dogs.

It’s been two years since your life was taken from us…⁣
⁣
Two years since our hearts were broken open…⁣
⁣
Two years since Luke lost his twin sister, BFF, and partner-in-crime.⁣
⁣
It’s been two years, and we have not forgotten. ⁣
⁣
Leia… Your life meant something, and we will continue to take a stand for what’s right. ⁣
⁣
If we can prevent even ONE dog and their family from experiencing something similar, just by sharing your story and other similar stories, we feel that your legacy lives on. ⁣
⁣
For anyone reading this, please practice deep discernment when selecting dog care providers such as dog sitters, boarding facilities, trainers, and groomers. ⁣
⁣
What you MUST understand is that there are little to no regulations for these types of providers. ⁣
⁣
ANYONE can claim to be a dog sitter, but that doesn’t make them capable of taking care of dogs, nor does it mean that they are responsible. ⁣
⁣
Platforms such as ‘Rover’ do not qualify dog sitters—anyone can create an account and despite what people assume, these ’sitters’ are not fully vetted by Rover (we did not use Rover but we’ve heard of 500+ similarly tragic stories from people who used that platform. )⁣
⁣
You also cannot rely on reviews alone. People are quick to leave good reviews but many people who have bad experiences hold back on sharing a negative review. ⁣
⁣
If more people shared their negative experiences PRIOR to June 26, 2022, we would have never left Leia with that ‘dog-sitter.’⁣
⁣
With all of that said, there are good dog care providers out there. It just takes a lot of due diligence to find them. ⁣

⁣
🐾 Have someone present with the dogs at all times⁣
⁣
🐾 Do not accept more dogs than they can handle (my new rule of thumb: 1 person per 3 dogs)⁣
⁣
🐾 Do not leave dogs locked in crates (and that crates are appropriately sized) ⁣
⁣

⁣
🐾 Offer meet and greets and/or tours of the facility⁣
⁣
🐾 Offers a way to share updates/photos⁣
⁣
🐾 Offer a clear agreement, in writing ⁣
⁣
⁣
It’s been two years, and we’re still standing in truth, because the truth will always prevail. We will continue to take a stand for Leia, and for all of our fellow fur-families. ⁣
⁣
Leia… We love you and miss you so much, baby girl. ⁣
⁣
🙏🏽🌈🥹⁣
