I would consider bringing my dog to someones house as my responsibility. Just the same if I brought my dog to a park or out on a walk; that animal is my responsibility at all times.
If I was your friend I wouldn't dream of "asking" for money; if you were to offer it on your own accord I maybe would have accepted it, but I would have never asked.
Animals are animals and people seem to forget that sometimes. You have to be ready for these sort of things to happen if your going to have different animals mingling under one roof. You did all you could to accomodate her and she couldn't take a second to call you before showing up at your house. On top of it all she marches in oblivious to the fact that there are pitbulls present defending their territory.
I mean c'mon where's the common sense?
