Unless you have family, or friends close enough, and familiar with your pet, it is not going to be a good experience. My little one, pictured on sig page, is so attached to me, that I don't think she'd survive long term. I would feel better having my wife be there for her, rather than be with me. The longest mine has been separated from me is 4 days, and that was at home, with my wife. I won't go into it, but even that did not go well.
Every ones pet, and separation anxieties may be different, so what works great for some families, may not work for you. The more attention your pet gets from you, the harder the separation is for them.
Sorry, no easy answer, but many of us worry about the same issue.
