YOU are the center of your dog's life. Your dog wants to be with you. It is unforgivable to leave it with a "sitter" for long periods of time.
Over the years I have made several 1,200 mile trips with a dog in the car. He slept most of the time. Of course he could not be left in the car at meal stops, so meals were from fast food drive throughs. There are lots of "pet friendly" motels these days.
