cat-sitting
Watching someone's kitty
Cat-sitting is the temporary care of someone else's cat, typically while the owner is away.
Unlike dog-sitting, it usually doesn't require constant presence—cats need feeding, water, and litter box maintenance but tolerate solitude well.
My neighbor is cat-sitting for us while we're on vacation.
