Most weekday walk problems aren't about money. They're about timing.

If you leave at 8 and get home at 7, that's an 11-hour gap. A lunch break walk at 12:30 is the difference between a wrecked apartment and a dog that can actually wait until you walk in the door.

What actually works in a city:

• Same walker, same window, 3–5 days a week. Dogs settle when the person and the time stop changing.

• A 30–40 minute mid-day loop, not a rushed 10-minute pee break.

• Someone who already walks your block. Travel time kills reliability.

If you're still relying on a neighbor "when they can," you're going to have a bad Thursday. Lock a weekday slot and treat it like a meeting you can't move.

That's the whole product.
