cat-sit
Watch someone's kitty
To cat-sit is to care for someone's cat while they're away, typically feeding, providing water, and checking on the animal: My neighbor cat-sits for us when we travel.
Unlike dog-sitting, it rarely involves walks or constant companionship—cats mostly need someone to maintain their routine.
The noun is cat-sitter.
