dogsitting

Watching someone's pup

Dogsitting is caring for someone else's dog while they're away, typically in your own home or theirs.

Unlike professional boarding, dogsitting usually implies a personal arrangement: My neighbor is dogsitting while we're on vacation.

The person doing it is a dogsitter.
