visitee

One being called

A visitee is someone who receives a visit—the person being visited rather than the one doing the visiting.

The word is uncommon and slightly awkward, formed by analogy with pairs like employer/employee: The visitee seemed surprised to find us at her door.

Most contexts simply use "the person being visited" instead.
