catsitter

Tabby's temporary guardian

A catsitter is someone who cares for a cat while its owner is away.

Unlike a dogsitter, a catsitter typically visits rather than stays overnight, since cats need less constant attention: We hired a catsitter to stop by twice a day while we were on vacation.

Also spelled cat-sitter or cat sitter.
