This Labor Day, people are trying to squeeze in one more vacation before the summer is officially over. So what do you do with your pet? Here are a few quick ideas to make this a pet friendly vacation. Three ideas to make pet owners purr…or bark…or whatever.<\/p>\n

Send your dog on his own vacation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Dog<\/a>If you just can’t take Fido along, there’s now a new solution that will make the vacation as much fun for him as for you. Dog Vacay is a new service started by Aaron and Karine Hirschhorn. Their site\u00a0lets you find a real home where your dog can stay while you’re away.<\/p>\n

Experienced dog lovers everywhere can sign up to host dogs for a small fee (starting at $15 per night); often, the hosts have other dogs and big yards, and some are even retired vets or pet trainers. Some couples on the site say that your dog can sleep in their bed, if that’s what your dog is used to at home. And the cutest part: You’ll get photos of your dog’s vacation!<\/p>\n

The service is spreading across the country. Log on to\u00a0Dog Vacay’s Website<\/a>\u00a0and type in your Zip Code to see if there are some hosts near you, or sign up \u00a0to be a host.<\/p>\n
