cat sitter

Tabby temporary guardian

A cat sitter is someone who cares for a cat while its owner is away, typically visiting the home to feed, water, and check on the animal rather than boarding it elsewhere: We hired a cat sitter for our two weeks in Europe.

The term parallels babysitter, with the same informal shortening to just sitter when context is clear.
