dog-sitting
Watching someone's pup
Dog-sitting is temporarily caring for someone else's dog while they're away.
The term parallels babysitting—watching over a creature that can't fully care for itself.
A dog-sitter may stay at the owner's home, host the dog at their own place, or simply visit to feed and walk it: We need someone for dog-sitting while we're in Hawaii.
