Let's talk a little more about what you can do for your pet if you're travelling this holiday season...
If all else fails, and you aren't able to find your pet a sitter while you're out of town, 
(or you can't bring yourself to be away from your pet pal) you could always just take your pet along for the adventure
Motel 6 accepts pets in all of its locations, with just a few restrictions. For instance, they'll only allow one pet per room, and the pet must be supervised at all times.
They've enlisted the help of Jack Hanna, of the Columbus Zoo, to give traveling pet parents advice on how to help your animal enjoy the trip as well. Hanna suggests planning your pet-friendly itinerary in advance, and take short day trips to help your pet become acclimated to travel before you take a major vacation. He also emphasizes the importance of taking along your pets vaccination records, a spare leash or crate, portable water, and toys or treats that may be comforting to your pet.
