How do you set up a home vacation trade?

Question

I've heard of people trading homes for vacations. We have a nice 4 bed/2 ba located in a nice neighborhood on the central coast of CA, USA. Problem could be that I also have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 birds that would need to be cared for during the trade (and they are like family members to us).

Have you ever traded homes, or know of someone who did, for vacation? How did it turn out (successful or problems)? How do you make sure that you trade with trustworthy people?
