Target: Leesa Manion, Prosecutor for King County, Washington
Goal: Punish the individual responsible for the alleged abuse and theft in the Tukwila pet-sitting incident.
A Tukwila couple trusted a dog sitter from a popular app with their beloved pets, only to discover alleged abuse and theft. Video footage apparently captured the sitter, identified as ‘Jacob’, striking one of the dogs multiple times. This disturbing revelation came to light when the couple reviewed their home security footage. Such alleged actions not only shock the conscience but also raise serious questions about trust and safety in pet care services.
Additionally, the couple suspects the theft of money from their home. This further allegation adds to the gravity of the situation, suggesting a breach of trust and security in their own home. The emotional distress experienced by the couple, as described, is palpable. Their story brings to light a potentially broader issue with the vetting process of pet care platforms, demanding closer scrutiny.
This petition calls for swift and just legal action against the individual allegedly responsible for these acts. The emotional trauma inflicted on the family, and potential harm to their pet, cannot be overlooked. A rigorous investigation and appropriate legal consequences are crucial, not just for this case, but to uphold standards of care and trust in pet-sitting services.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Manion,
In the recent disturbing incident in Tukwila, a dog sitter, hired through a popular app, is alleged to have abused and stolen from a couple’s home. The evidence, captured on a home security camera, reportedly shows the sitter hitting the couple’s dog. This act, coupled with the alleged theft, constitutes a serious violation of trust and safety. We request your immediate attention to this matter.
The emotional impact on the couple, Fidel and Alysa Mendez, highlights the severity of the situation. They entrusted their pets and home to someone who, they claim, violated that trust in the most distressing manner. This case is not only about punishing the alleged wrongdoer but also about sending a clear message about the standards expected in pet care services.
We urge you to pursue this case with diligence and ensure that justice is served. The allegations, if proven, warrant serious legal consequences. Moreover, this case could serve as a precedent, encouraging stricter vetting processes in pet-sitting services and safeguarding other families and pets from similar distressing situations.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Please people,,,, NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR ANIMALS IN THE CARE OF ANYONE YOU DON’T KNOW!!! THEY WILL TORTURE and/or KILL THEM.
Most people are not evil, these two were exceptions. This happens all the time with worse results. I say get the abuser in court. With a video hopefully he will go to prison for quite a while. Then close down the corrupt business. Businesses can not survive this type of charge. I am sorry if they are honest in their business but one bad apple can take everything you have worked for. That one fact alone should make this evil man stay in prison for longer! Why are our laws not strong enough? This is the result of having officials buying, trading and selling stocks with inside information as they are not concerned with us at all. We elect them and they play with stocks all day!
