We are in Italy and imagine waking up to a text at 3am saying “ I can’t make it over tonight “ I left messages for people who I knew would be comfortable attending to them as one is a HUGE big baby but sounds like he will eat you alive if you enter the house . I then threw it out to a Few sitters on Rover and Bianca answered , worked with me on my needs and went promptly to see our crew . She took pics and even our shy little Pom seemed to like her . Our boys were happy and she made me feel a lot better . I am very happy to know I have someone else to contact to help with our babies . I can not thank her enough ! Truly …”
