Do not feed the dog more than the owner requested.

Given all dry dog foods have different recommended daily feeding guidelines, but I cannot imagine 2 cups being correct.

Some dogs self regulate - MOST do not, especially big dogs. This dog would eat himself to oblivion if you let him, OP. Follow the instructions.

This is not for anyone here to say. Owner gave instructions. Dog sitter follows instructions.
And agree, OP, super nice that you are dog sitting!
I agree with the pp 2 cups for a big dog seems low. I would contact the owner to see what they say.
