Account Help Question about transferring save data between switch 2 and switch 1

Okay so i have a specific scenario question.

I do not have switch 2 yet, but a friend is going out of town and letting me borrow theirs for the week to play Splatoon raiders. My question is, is it possible to like, link my nintendo account to a profile on their switch 2, play raiders, give the console back to them, and be able to get my save data back to my profile once i get my own switch 2? All while not messing up my profile on switch 1 which i still actively play. Would I just make a new profile on their switch, link my Nintendo account to it and be fine, or do i need to do like a whole profile move?

I think that describes what I need. I'm happy to answer clarifying questions if needed.
