1 PM PT -- The former professional dog-sitter who lost her job at Rover.com has now been kicked off her jiu-jitsu club.

Miami's Fight Sports Club tells TMZ they just learned of the incident, and said both the pet-sitter and her boyfriend have been banned from the team.

The academy said ... "We are very sad and deeply sorry for this situation. ... We want to make it clear that we have no involvement or responsibility for anyone’s personal life or business outside the academy. Fight Sports stands for truth, values, and integrity, and we will always take action when something goes against those principles."

ICYMI ... Eilyn and Ray were told their dog Aria -- a 12-year-old Shih Tzu -- died of a heart attack while in the care of a pet-sitter while they were out of town for 2 days. However, they said they learned from the cremation center where their dog was taken before they got home that their pup was actually killed by another dog.

Ellen Greenberg's parents say Philadelphia officials are still trying to clean up the city's mess from a botched investigation ... which is why no one will admit Ellen was murdered.

According to the Greenbergs, they weren't surprised at the ruling ... because it's the answer they've gotten from city officials for years ... which they see as an attempt to simply get to them to stop digging.

A friend of Billy Joe Cagle -- the man arrested Monday at Atlanta's major airport for allegedly threatening a mass shooting -- is now talking to TMZ ... revealing the red flags that pushed him to reach out the night before cops swooped in.

Nick Roberts joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday ...  telling us he hit up Billy on Sunday night after spotting some troubling Facebook posts ... ones that, at first, looked more like warnings of self-harm than threats against others.

Nick said during that chat the 49-year-old seemed totally fine, giving off no sign he was plotting anything for the next day. Cops, though, were tipped off by Cagle's family’s concerns ... and thankfully, any potential tragedy was avoided.

Santos says he's embarrassed by the lies he told and his own duplicitous nature ... and, he watched his whole life like a movie in his own head -- running through each and every mistake. During this time, Santos says he fell back on his own religion, and he thinks he's square with the big guy upstairs now.
