If the dog needs to go to the bathroom in the morning set your alarm, take him out then bring him in and go to bed. 6 weeks is VERY I mean VERY young for a pug to be in his new home already. You will need to sacrifice some sleep for a week, you said you'd care for him so you have to. When I watch my Uncle's dog I have to get up at 6 every morning (I'm 15 everyone thinks I'm weird because I go to bed at 10 and wake up between 6 and 8) which is fine with me, that's when she is used to going out.
Go to bed early for this week and wake up early. The puppy is very young so he might cry at night, just ignore the whining unless it has been a few hours since he went out then he probably has to go to the bathroom. Does he sleep in a crate?

6 weeks is pretty young. If I was getting a puppy, even 12 weeks or older, I wouldn't leave that dog until it was at least 6 months of age to take a trip without the dog. I usually won't go anywhere within the first year of it's life unless it an emergency.
I used to go camping all the time and I always took my dogs with me. Is there a reason why they can't take the dogs camping with them???
