puppysitting
Minding young dogs
Puppysitting is caring for someone else's puppy temporarily, typically while the owner is away or at work.
The term follows the pattern of babysitting and its animal variant dogsitting, though puppysitting emphasizes the extra attention and supervision young dogs require.
I'm puppysitting my neighbor's golden retriever this weekend while she's at a conference.
