I realize you've already decided to go ahead with your trip, but I wanted to let you know that you're not alone in your anxiety. When we had to go to a wedding last fall, we only had Kito. We couldn't bring him, because the friend we were staying with had just gotten a kitten. I tried a pet sitter, but the ones around here wouldn't take a dog under a year old. Our vet was all set to take him for us, and a friend of mine was in town for the weekend. Her boyfriend was working all day and night Saturday, so I asked her to stay at the apartment with Kito, and she did. I felt so much better with her there with him. Now we have 3, so it's getting harder--we take them with us wherever we go, but this summer we're probably going to take a vacation, but not until our fence is up, so someone can stay here with them again.
They day we moved, I boarded them at our vet's office--from 9 am until 4pm--not even a whole day, and someone was there the whole time---and I cried when I dropped them off!! I guess I just felt bad They were fine when I picked them up, the tech even said they were little angels (I think she was talking about the wrong dogs).
Sorry it's so long, but I just wanted to share.
Emily, Kito, Abbey, Riley, and Jada
