I strongly suggest getting a pet sitter. This will stress the dog out less as they will remain in their own enviroment. The additional perk is that the sitter will basically end up house sitting for you as well (checking mail, etc.). Whenever I travel I use a pet sitter for these reasons not to mention it's alot cheaper than a kennel.
I really dislike kennels because I can't insure that each employee will treat my dogs well. Whereas I can get to know the pet sitter and they usually come with recomendations. Also, kennels are typically cold and impersonal not to mention occassionally hazardous for your dog.
