dog sitting

Watching someone's pooch

Dog sitting is caring for someone else's dog while they're away.

Unlike boarding at a kennel, dog sitting typically happens in the sitter's home or the dog's own home, providing a more personal arrangement: We found someone for dog sitting while we're on vacation.
