Most cats, rabbits and other small pets would find the upheaval of a holiday too stressful, so the kindest, most sensible option would be to ask a trustworthy person to look after them while you're away.
Dogs are a different matter, and it's perfectly feasible to take a dog on holiday with you. For many dog owners it's all part of the enjoyment. Have a think in advance how the days are likely to play out on your trip. As your dog gets older, they may find it harder to cope with the journey and the activities while you're away.
It's worth remembering that local people, particularly farmers, may not be as happy as you are to see your dog running round, enjoying the freedom. Follow the country code, obey any signs about where to keep your dog on a lead, and be considerate towards livestock and wildlife.
