In PupShiftIn PupShift, the board’s owner can give each walk time to one person. Their phone rings at that time, and if the walk is still open an hour later, the owner gets a gentle question (phone app, alerts on).
How it works
Each walk goes to whoever has walked the least so far that week, then to whoever has done that time of day the least, then to whoever walked longest ago.
So everyone gets the same number of walks (give or take one), and the early mornings and late evenings move around.
Change the names or times and the week updates. Print it for the fridge, or copy it into a family chat.

Questions
How many walks a day does a dog need?
Most adult dogs do well with at least two walks a day, but it depends on age, breed and health. Ask your vet what fits your dog.
How do we keep a walk rota fair?
Rotate by walk, not by day, so early mornings and late nights move around. Then let a shared board show who actually walked.
Can PupShift remind the person whose turn it is?
Yes. In the phone app with alerts on, each walk time can belong to one person, and their phone rings at that time.

Put it where the whole family sees it. A schedule on paper works until someone forgets to tick it. On a shared board, everyone sees what’s done.
