dogsitter
Canine temporary guardian
A dogsitter is someone who cares for a dog while its owner is away, whether for a few hours or an extended period.
Unlike a dog walker, who provides brief exercise outings, a dogsitter typically stays with the dog or hosts it in their own home, handling feeding, companionship, and overnight care.
We hired a dogsitter for the week we were in Hawaii.
