Dogs and cats go to a kennel. No brainier there, too.

Anyhow, not feeding a reef tank for a week is not drastic, IMO. Have been doing it multiple times over more than 3 years. All the fish (see sig) are healthy and have not lost any fish in that time.
Lol the paper boy was a metaphor meaning a neighbors kid you trust to do chores, or a some one who has time on his hands lol. Makes us kina prisoners of are own hobby doesn't it ?
