Contest Alert: Win a DogVacay with Cesar Millan

Traveling with pets is becoming more popular all the time, but unfortunately you can't always bring your four-legged friends with you on vacation or on business trips. Luckily pet owners have several options when it comes to pet boarding and pet sitting, especially because websites that bring pet sitters and pet owners together are growing in popularity.

Being able to leave your pup with a fellow pet owner in a welcoming home environment definitely sounds better than boarding her at a kennel or imposing on a friend or neighbor, and a site that matches dog owners to dog sitters in an organized and transparent way makes sense. Have you tried DogVacay.com or a site like it? What did you think?

If any of this is of interest to you, then this contest will be, too. DogVacay is currently offering the chance to win a trip for two to Los Angeles, where you'll meet Cesar Millan and stay at a luxury resort while your dog stays at Millan's Dog Psychology Center (and hopefully picks up a few good behavior tips). The contest is open now through Aug. 31 and you can enter here.

Good luck, pet lovers!
