Well both yes and no.
Some of these are probably great, but having a simcard and a service on the item tracked is abit to much.
Some of these even require montly fee.

What i was thinking of was more like http://www.loc8tor.com/ .
Maybe ill just buy one of them instead, tho building it is more funn.

Loc8tor GPS seems to require a monthly fee too:

Building one is an excellent idea, with a little applied engineering you could have a solution that suits your application perfectly. The community here would be more than happy to help you. For a humorous introduction to pet tracking this might be worth a watch:
