Hello @ValerieH and welcome to the Community Forum 
It’s completely understandable to feel this way about our beloved pets when leaving them behind but I am sure you will find the perfect sitter/s to take care of Bandit for you whilst you are away. 
If you are a member of TrustedHousesitters you can link your THS profile listing on to your listing on here by following the attached link, should you wish. This will enable others on here to provide helpful advice and feedback for you and will also give your listing more exposure.
If you are unsure about how to do this or have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask, we are all more than happy to help.
Whereabouts in Europe will you be travelling to?
