South Beach Florida? Sounds fun!!!
Hopefully someone will have some great suggestions...sounds like you're on the right track taking his regular things (so he will feel comfortable/not have a change in diet). The only other thing I would think would be to maybe meet up with them/their dog somewhere today for a brief visit (meet for coffee or at a park) so they can 'meet' each other once before the longer stay (then they won't be strangers...and Dolce won't be seen as invading Peanut's house). Oh, and maybe tuck one of your shirts from the laundry into his bed so his has your familiar comforting smell while you are away. And try not to worry, I'm sure he will be fine
Oh, and I always give my puppysitter my vet's name in case of an emergency (since your vet has Dolce's records/history)...Murphy's Law says that if you are prepared that way, nothing will happen...
