petsit
Mind the animals
To petsit is to care for someone's pet while they're away—feeding, walking, and keeping the animal company.
The job may involve staying at the owner's home or having the pet stay with the sitter.
We need someone to petsit while we're on vacation.
Also spelled pet-sit.
One who does this is a petsitter.
