pet sitter
Creature care substitute
A pet sitter is someone who cares for animals while their owners are away, typically visiting the home or staying there rather than boarding the pets elsewhere.
The arrangement suits animals that do better in familiar surroundings: We hired a pet sitter so the cats wouldn't have to go to a kennel.
