catsit

Watch someone's feline

To catsit is to care for someone's cat while they're away, typically at the owner's home.

Unlike dogsitting, catsitting usually involves periodic visits rather than constant presence—checking food and water, cleaning the litter box, providing some companionship: My neighbor catsits for us when we travel.
