Usually this depends a lot on where I am going, and how long I will be gone, as well as what pets I have. When I lived out in the country, and had the horses, goats, and the llama, as well as the dogs; there was no way to take them along, so the only choice that I had was to find someone that was trustworthy to take care of them while I was gone.
Now, my husband hardly ever goes anywhere, and sometimes I take trips out to Idaho with my daughter to visit our family out there. When I do that then, my husband is home to take care of the dogs.
When we moved out here from Idaho, we sold our cars, bought an older motorhome so we could take the dogs along, and we just drove out here with the dogs, stopping at campgrounds every day, so he dogs could be outside and exercise. They really enjoyed the trip, but they were as happy as we were to arrive out here, and they had their own yard to play in again.
