petsitting
Watching someone's dog
Petsitting is caring for someone else's pets while they're away, typically in the pet owner's home rather than a boarding facility.
A petsitter feeds, walks, and keeps animals company: We hired someone for petsitting while we're on vacation.
The arrangement suits pets who do better in familiar surroundings.
